1Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The ADP065 is a rugged dual-port USB 3.0 and SATA adapter for host modules which provides these connections over a PCIe/104 Type 2
connector. This adapter breaks out the USB 3.0 and SATA data connections on the bus connector for easy cabled accessibility, while adhering
to the stacking requirements of PC/104, allowing easy integration into a PC/104 system.
The USB 3.0 links on the ADP065 are backwards compatible with USB 2.0, permitting breakout of all USB ports on a host’s top-side PCIe/104
Type 2 bus. The ADP065’s utilization of a host’s PCIe/104 USB links avoids bandwidth starvation of the host’s primary USB I/O connections,
making this module a useful accessory to any of RTD’s Intel Core i7, AMD Fusion G-Series, Intel Core 2 Duo, and Intel Celeron M single board
computers.

3.1 Board Handling Precautions
To prevent damage due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), keep your board in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it into your system.
When removing it from the bag, hold the board at the edges, and do not touch the components or connectors. Handle the board in an antistatic
environment, and use a grounded workbench for testing and handling of your hardware.

SATA1 & SATA2: SATA Connectors
Two SATA connectors are available on the ADP065. With the ADP065 stacked above the CPU, SATA2 breaks out the higher order port, and
connector SATA1 breaks out the lower order port. Both connectors permit connectivity with latching or non-latching SATA cables.

3.3.2 BUS CONNECTOR
Bottom: PCIe Connector
The PCIe connector is the connection to the system CPU. The position and pin assignments are compliant with the PCIe/104 Specification.
(See PC/104 Specifications on page 14)
The ADP065 is a Type 2 board, and must connect to a Type 2 PCIe/104 connector.
3.4 Selecting the Stack Order for the ADP065
The following is a list of rules to determine where the ADP065 falls within the stacking order of the system. These rules may be overridden by
the devices hosting the USB 3.0 and SATA connections.
1. If a SATA link is used (with no USB 3.0 link), the ADP065 must be placed within six boards of the CPU.
2. If a USB 3.0 link is used, the ADP065 must be within four boards of the CPU.

RTD Embedded Technologies, Inc. | www.rtd.com 11 ADP065 User’s Manual
3.5 Steps for Installing
1. Always work at an ESD protected workstation, and wear a grounded wrist-strap.
2. Turn off power to the PC/104 system or stack.
3. Select and install stand-offs to properly position the module on the stack.
4. Remove the module from its anti-static bag.
5. Check that pins of the bus connector are properly positioned.
6. Check the stacking order; make sure all of the busses used by the peripheral cards are connected to the cpuModule.
7. Hold the module by its edges and orient it so the bus connector pins line up with the matching connector on the stack.
8. Gently and evenly press the module onto the PC/104 stack.
9. If any boards are to be stacked above this module, install them.
10. Attach any necessary cables to the PC/104 stack.
11. Re-connect the power cord and apply power to the stack.
12. Boot the system and verify that all of the hardware is working properly.

4Functional Description
4.1 Functional Diagram
The Figure below shows the functional diagram of the ADP065. The various parts of the block diagram are discussed in the following sections.
Figure 4: ADP065 Functional Diagram
4.2 Backwards Compatibility with USB 2.0
A USB 3.0 connection requires three differential pairs on the PCIe bus connector. These are the TX and RX differential pairs for SuperSpeed,
and a bi-directional differential pair for high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed signaling rates. Typically, a USB 3.0 hub will use both sets of
signals, and USB devices will use one set or the other. If the CPU only provides USB 2.0 links (no TX and RX differential pairs for
SuperSpeed), the bi-directional differential pairs on the ADP065’s USB ports may be utilized to connect USB devices at high-speed, full-speed,
and low-speed signaling rates.
4.3 Power
The ADP065 only requires +5V (Vcc5) to operate. Although not required, +5V Standby (Vcc5-STBY) may be provided on the PCIe connector to
permit waking the system if supported by the host.
Acceptable voltage ranges for +5V (Vcc5) and +5V Standby (Vcc5-STBY) are listed in Table 1: Operating Conditions.
