1 Product Description
The TAMC261 is a standard Mid-Size/Full-Size AMC.1 (PCI-Express) and MTCA.4 compliant PMC carrier
module that provides one slot for a single-width PMC, used to build modular, flexible and cost effective I/O
solutions for applications in process control, medical systems, telecommunication and traffic control.
A PI7C9X130 PCIe-to-PCI bridge provides the real connection between primary PCIe link and the secondary
PMC slot. The bridge controls all PCI accesses and the frequency for the PMC access. PCI is supported up
to 64-bit @66MHz and PCI-X is supported up to 64-bit @133MHz.
The TAMC261 supports front panel I/O, alternatively the MTCA.4 interface provides access to the PMC P14
back I/O lines. According to MTCA.4, the TAMC261 provides two 30-pair ADF connectors at the Zone 3
interface (Rear I/O) that provide access to all P14 back I/O lines via a compatible μRTM.
The TAMC261-2x additionally provide M-LVDS transceivers connected to AMC port 12-15, port 17-20 and
the TCLKA-D. All control and data lines of the M-LVDS transceivers are routed to the zone 3 interface,
enabling a mounted PMC to access the AMC port signals via the μRTM.
The TAMC261 is a versatile solution to upgrade well known legacy I/O solutions to a high performance form
factor.
According to AMC.0, the TAMC261 provides an IPMI compliant Module Management Controller (MMC) with
temperature monitoring and hot-swap support.

ESD Protection3.1
The AMC module is sensitive to static electricity. Packing, unpacking
and all other module handling has to be done in an ESD/EOS
protected Area.
Thermal Considerations3.2
Forced air cooling is recommended during operation. Without forced
air cooling, damage to the device can occur.
Voltage Limits on PMCs3.3
The AMC.0 specification limits the voltages on AMC modules. These
limits also apply to mounted PMCs.
Refer to the chapter “Voltage Limits on PMC Modules” for details.
Mid-Size Option Usage Restrictions3.4
Please note that the Mid-Size module has restrictions to its usage
because of a component height violation. It is within the
responsibility of the user to carefully check if the Mid-Size module
with its component height violation can be used in the system.
Otherwise, damage to the TAMC261 or the slot it is used in may
occur!
Refer to the chapter “Component Height Violation on TAMC261-x0R”

PCI Clock5.2
The PCI bus clock on the TAMC261 is configured by the plugged PMC modules. The TAMC261 supports
66MHz PCI and 133MHz PCI-X bus clock. If the plugged PMC module only supports 33 MHz PCI or 100MHz
PCI-X operation, the PCI bus will operate with the slower clock rate.
PCI Signaling Voltage5.3
PMC modules are specified for 3.3V only, 5V only, or universal (3.3V or 5V) PCI signal voltage operation.
The voltage key pin defines the PCI signal voltage level for the TAMC261 PCI bus and prevents PMCs with
a wrong signaling voltage from being plugged onto the carrier.

AMC Interface 5.5
5.5.1 Overview
AMC Connector Backplane TAMC261
Port 4-7 PCIe PCIe (x1 Link, x4 Link), connected
to the PCIe-to-PCI-X Bridge
Port 12-15 Point-to-Point links Connected to M-LVDS transceivers
Port 17-20
Multi-Point bus for
Triggers, Clocks,
Interlocks
Connected to M-LVDS transceivers
TCLKA-TCLKD “Telecom Clocks” Connected to M-LVDS transceivers
Table 5-4: AMC Interface Overview
5.5.2 M-LVDS Transceiver
The TAMC261-2x provides M-LVDS transceivers, connected to the AMC point-to-point connections on port
12-15, the MTCA.4 trigger, clock and interlock connections on port 17-20 and to the TCLKA-D lines. The
transceiver control lines are connected to the zone 3 interface.
The transceiver control and data lines are connected to the uRTM interface. The uRTM may map PMC P14
I/O lines to the transceiver control and data lines.
To consider signal delays, the transceiver control lines are routed with the same length.
5.5.2.1 Point-to-Point Links
AMC backplane ports 12-15 are connected to DS91M040 M-LVDS transceivers. There is one bi-directional
M-LVDS transceiver for each Rx and Tx differential lines. Each differential line is terminated with a 100R
termination resistor.
5.5.2.2 Multi-Point Links
AMC backplane ports 17-20 are connected to DS91M040 M-LVDS transceivers. There is one bi-directional
M-LVDS transceiver for each Rx and Tx differential lines. Since the backplane provides termination for the
M-LVDS bus lines, the TAMC261 provides no termination resistors for the Multi-Point links.
5.5.2.3 Telecom Clocks
AMC backplane TCLKA, TCLKB, TCLKC and TCLKD are also connected to DS91M040 M-LVDS
transceivers. There is one bi-directional M-LVDS transceiver for each TCLK differential line. Each differential
line is terminated with a 100R termination resistor.
TAMC261 User Manual Issue 1.0.0 Page 18 of 36

5.5.2.4 M-LVDS Transceiver Interface
The control signals of the M-LVDS transceivers are connected to the zone 3 interface. For each differential
line two signals are available:
Control Signal Description Naming Example
Direction Transceiver direction signal
When Direction is low, the transceiver
driver is disabled and the receiver is
enabled (default when signal is not
connected)
When Direction is high, the transceiver
driver is enabled and the receiver is
disabled
DIR_RX12, DIR_TCLKA
Data Transceiver data signal
When Direction is low, the transceiver
drives this signal with the received data
(signal is transceiver output).
When Direction is high, the transceiver
drives the data on this signal on the M-
LVDS bus (signal is transceiver input).
RX_12, TCLKA
Table 5-5: M-LVDS Transceiver Control Signals
5.5.2.5 M-LVDS Transceiver Master Enable
Per default the M-LVDS transceiver master enable is connected to the ZONE3_EN signal (a local signal on
the AMC module), which is set when the μRTM is enabled. Thus it is assured that the M-LVDS transceivers
are only active when a matching μRTM is available.
For the case that a simple μRTM without management is used, the M-LVDS transceivers can be enabled
permanently with a jumper (J3):
Jumper Description
Jumper 1-2 Installed M-LVDS transceivers enabled by ZONE3_EN
(factory default)
Jumper 2-3 Installed M-LVDS transceivers permanently enabled

6 Installation
This chapter contains general notes regarding installing the AMC module into a system.
Installation of a PMC Module6.1
Before installing a PMC module, be sure that the power supply for the TAMC261 is turned off.
The components are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD). Use an anti-static mat connected to
a wristband when handling or installing the components.
If the PMC has a front panel, remove the cover from the PMC front panel cut-out of the TAMC261. Install the
PMC at an angle so that the PMC front panel penetrates the PMC front panel cut-out. Then rotate down to
mate with the PMC connectors on the TAMC261. If the PMC has no front panel, simply plug in the PMC, and
leave the cover in the PMC front panel cut-out of the TAMC261.
After the PMC module has been installed, it can be mounted on the TAMC261 using the mounting screws
that come with the PMC module. There are four screw mounting locations, two at the PMC front panel and
two at the standoffs near the PMC bus connectors.
