CP390Preface
For your safety
Your new PEP product has been developed and carefully tested in order to provide all the fea-
tures necessary to ensure full compliance with all electrical safety requirements. It has also
been designed for a long fault-free life. However, the life expectancy of your product will be
drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the
interests of your own safety and of the correct operation of your new PEP product, you are
requested to conform with the following guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
$Do not handle this product while it is outside its protective enclosure while it is not used
for operational purposes, unless it is otherwise protected.
$Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations.
Where safe work stations are not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electri-
cally discharged before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most
easily done by touching a metal part of your system housing.
$It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing
piggybacks, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC
or memory backup, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, includ-
ing anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batter-
ies or tracks on the board.
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently
skilled personnel.
Caution!
The power supply must always be disconnected before installa-
tion, repair and maintenance operations are carried out on this
product. Failure to comply with this basic precaution will subject
the operator to serious electrical shock hazards. Always unplug
the power cable before such operations.
Before installing your new PEP product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to
the installation of piggybacks.
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static
electricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all handling oper-
ations and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product
integrity at all times.

CP390 Introduction
ID 19976, Rev. 0200Page 1 - 2 ® PEP Modular Computers GmbH
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
PMC modules are renowned for their flexibility and versatility of use. They afford the
user wide ranging system independent solutions by means of easily interchanged or
upgraded mezzanine add-on modules. The PEP CP390 has been designed to maxi-
mize the advantages provided by PMC modules in a 3U environment. Flexibility, versa-
tility, convenience and ease of use have been keynotes throughout the design process.
The result is a board which, although essentially a carrier for PMC modules, also
includes a wide range of important features such as a PCI-PCI bridge and (optionally
available) the ability to hotswap. Use of the hotswap version means, of course, that all
PMC modules employed on the board are effectively hotswapable.
The CP390 is a 3U non-intelligent, active CPCI carrier board with one PMC slot.
Some of the Outstanding Features of the CP390:
•active carrier with PCI-to-PCI bridge: the primary and secondary PCI busses are
capable of being operated independently of one another
•32 Bit / 33MHz PCI Bus on the CPCI and on the PMC side
•it supports the Interrupts INTA, INTB, INTC and INTD
•software transparent: the non-hotswap version does not require a software driver.
•it supports all the signals of the PCI Bus on its connectors Jn1 (CON2),
Jn2 (CON3)
•The connectors which connect the mezzanine board with the carrier include all the
signals of a 33MHz, 32-bit, multi-master PCI bus, the power rails for 5V, 3.3V,
V(I/O) and other specialised signals for Board Detection.
•A PCI-to-PCI bridge provides for coupling of the PMC side to the CompactPCI
side, so that two independent PCI busses exist. The PCI-to-PCI bridge is the
INTEL 21150. It is software transparent and consequently a software driver is not
required to manage data transfer between the PMC module and the CPCI bus.
•The CP390 has been designed to function with all PEP CompactPCI backplanes.
Features of the PEP Modular Computers’ PMC modules
PEP Modular Computers’ PMC modules are operable in both CompactPCI and VME
systems. They offer all the key benefits of PC I/O technology, namely:
•low cost solutions
•high performance
•a processor independent local I/O bus
•a broad range of I/O peripheral devices
PEP Modular Computers’ PMC modules may be installed on a variety of different carrier
boards, including:
•CompactPCI 3U/6U: CPU CP600, CP602, CP610, CP611, CP612
•CompactPCI PMC carrier boards such as the CP390 and CP690
Customers who additionally require the functionality of the CP390 in the 6U Form
Factor are referred to PEP’s new double-height PMC Module carrier board, the
CP690, which holds two PMC modules.
CP390 Introduction
ID 19976, Rev. 0200 Page 1 - 3® PEP Modular Computers GmbH
1.2 Board Interfaces
CompactPCI Interface
The CompactPCI interface connector J1 (CON1) provides all the necessary signals for
data transfer as defined by PCI Specification Rev. 2.1.
The CP390 is routed to the CompactPCI backplane by means of the Intel 21150 PCI-to-
PCI bridge which interfaces the board with a data path width of 32-bit and a speed up to
33MHz.
PMC Interface
The PMC interface of the CP390 provides an easy way to extend a CompactPCI system
via the wide array of interfaces and functions which are available on PMC modules pro-
duced by the entire range of PMC vendors. The secondary side of the PCI-to-PCI
Bridge provides a 32-bit wide PCI data path with a speed of up to 33MHz which is
routed to the onboard connectors Jn1 and Jn2. These connectors also provide the
power supply for the PMC module. The interface has been designed to comply with the
IEEE 1386.1 specification which defines a PCI electrical interface for the CMC (Com-
mon Mezzanine Card) form factor.
Additionally, the CP390-HS (Hotswap version) has been designed to comply with the
CPCI Hotswap specification PICMG 2.1 R1.0, which means that the power supply of the
PMC modules will be ramped up and a reset generated whenever the board is plugged
into a running system.

2.1 Board Installation
PMC Module Installation
1. Place the EMC gasket on the bezel of your PMC-Module
2. Unscrew the stand-off, which is positioned at the PCI-Bridge
3. Push the PMC bezel into the window of the front-panel of the CP390 and plug the
connectors together.
4. Use three screws (M2.5 x 6mm) to fix the board
Caution!
If you are using the non-hotswap version of the CP390, please
switch off the target system before installing the board in a free
slot. Failure to do so could endanger your life/health and may
damage your board or system.
ESD Equipment!
Your carrier board and PMC module contain electrostatically sen-
sitive devices. Please observe the necessary precautions to avoid
damage to your board:
•Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools
must be discharged before use.
•Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.
•If working at an anti-static workbench with professional dis-
charging equipment, please do not omit to use it.
$$
Note:
In order to support an active PMC carrier and, therefore, to
comply with the CPCI specification, it was necessary to
place the PCI-to-PCI bridge in the position where a socket
for mounting a stand-off would normally be (PMC specifica-
tion). As a result, the second stand-off has been omitted.
