PPMC750-2xxx Description

The PPMC750-2xxx is an extended form factor version of the PPMC750 Processor PCI Mezzanine Card (PPMC) board (see the Processor PMC Standard for VITA-32-199x Processor PCI Mezzanine Cards for more information).

The PPMC750-2xxx is 1.5 times wider than normal at 111 mm. It is based on the PowerPC MPC750 processor and the Hawk PCI host bridge/system memory controller.

Standard features of the PPMC750 include 1MB of L2 cache, an on-board bank of SDRAM (32MB to 128MB), 8MB of FLASH, and optional SDRAM memory expansion.

In addition to the standard features of the PPMC750. the PPMC750-2xxx features 1MB of socketed FLASH, a 10/100TX Ethernet channel, a 190-pin Mictor debug connector, and a serial port debug connector.

Four 64-pin PMC connectors on the PPMC750-2xxx are used to connect the PPMC750-2xxx to the motherboard.

A 10-pin right-angle connector located on the side of the motherboard provides the interface to the asynchronous serial port. A 16-pin header provides the interface to the processor’s JTAG/COP port.

A 190-pin Mictor connector on the secondary side of the board provides debug www.ge-drive.com access to the processor bus.

The serial port and JTAG/COP interfaces and ABORT_L signals are also routed to the PMC P14 connector for access to the carrier board.

The PPMC750-2xxx includes a 140-pin AMP connector mounted on the auxiliary side of the board to provide sockets for memory expansion functions.

The presence of this connector increases the height measurement of the components on both sides beyond the standard PMC height.

Monarch and Non-Monarch PPMC

The traditional concepts of host/master and slave/target processors changed with the creation of the PPMC because the arbiter or clock source traditionally located on the host board was not on the PPMC7502xxx.

The VITA 32 specification defines the terms Monarch and Nonmonarch to refer to the two modes of PPMC operation.

Monarch PPMC is defined as the master PCI bus PPMC (or CPU) that performs PCI bus enumeration at power-up or reset and acts as a PCI interrupt handler.

A non-Monarch type is a slave/target processor that does not perform bus enumeration and does not handle PCI interrupts, but may issue PCI interrupts to the host processor.

A system may have a Monarch PPMC750-2xxx and/or one or more non-Monarch PPMC750-2xxx, resulting in a loosely coupled multiprocessing system.

A PPMC750-2xxx operating as a Monarch system may be connected to a carrier board with slave processors, PCI and other I/O devices.

The PPMC750-2xxx operating as a non-monarch system can be mounted on a carrier board with a master processor and other PCI devices such as MVME2400 or MCPN750 boards.

PPMC750-2xxx boards running in non-monarch mode may require a different version of PPCBUG or other operating system than PPMC750-2xxx boards running in monarch mode.

The PPMC750-2xxx software is configured for Monarch or Non-Monarch mode by reading the status of the MONARCH# pin on the PPMC750-2xxx.

This pin is grounded or open on the carrier board to enable the desired mode of operation. Refer to the MONARCH# signal description on page 3-14 of this manual for details.

Carrier Board Requirements The carrier board must provide standard PCI interfaces including 3.3V and 5V power, PCI address/control, PCI clock, and PCI arbiter REQ/GNT pairs.

Refer to the VITA-32-199x specification. The carrier board must also have the MONARCH# pin grounded to enable Monarch operation mode.

Turning the MONARCH# pin on will enable non-Monarch mode.

System Enclosure

System enclosure requirements depend on the configuration and architecture of the baseboard (VME, CompactPCI, or custom), and two slots are required for both the baseboard and the attached PPMC7502xxx (in a VME or CompactPCI chassis).

The MVME162FX is based on the MC68040 or MC68LC040 microprocessor.

Different versions of the MVME162FX are available with 4MB, 8MB or 16MB of unprotected DRAM, 8KB SRAM (with battery backup), daily clock (with battery backup),

Cooling Requirements

The Motorola MVME162 embedded controller is specified, designed, and

tested to operate at 0° to

55°C (32° to 131°F), forced-air cooling rates can typically be achieved

through the use of a 100 CFM axial fan. Temperature qualification is performed on the

standard Motorola VME System 3000 chassis. Twenty-five watt load boards

were inserted into two plug-in slots, one on each side, adjacent to the board below

tested to simulate a high power density system configuration. The collection of

three axial fans, each rated at 100 CFM, placed directly under the VME

card mounting bracket. Intake air temperature was measured between the fan

assembly and the card cage, where the incoming airflow was first encountered by the

controller during testing. When the controller is subjected to

ambient temperature changes. Critical, high-power case temperatures

density ICs are monitored to ensure that component suppliers do not exceed specifications.

While the exact air flow required for cooling depends on the

ambient air temperature and the type, number, and location of boards and

other heat sources, adequate cooling can usually be achieved with 10 CFM

and 490 LFM flowing through the controller. Less airflow is required to cool the

controller in environments with lower maximum ambient. Lower than more

favourable thermal conditions to operate the controller

Reliable operation above 55°C with increased airflow.

It is important to note that in addition to the blower’s rated CFM, several factors

The P2 adapter board provides the interface signals for the MVME761 transition module.

There are two separate P2 adapter boards: one for 3-row backplanes and one for 5-row backplanes.

The 3-row P2 adapter board provides connectivity for 8-bit SCSI. The 5-row P2 adapter board supports 16-bit SCSI and PMC I/O.

Firmware Monitoring

Firmware must satisfy the traditional functions of power-on self-test (POST), initialisation, low-level setup and debugging, and operating system boot.

The innovative SMART EC firmware (called MOTLoad) that resides on the MVME5500 exceeds these requirements.

The innovative firmware that resides on the MVME5500. known as MOTLoad, goes beyond these requirements with extended functionality such as interrupt-driven I/O, more comprehensive power-up tests and extensive diagnostics with new scripting capabilities.

Of course, MOTLoad also provides a debugger interface similar to the tried and tested ‘bug’ interface on SMART EC’s previous VMEbus boards.

The MVME2400 series VME boards offer the performance of Motor ola’s PowerPlus II architecture and can be fully customised to meet the needs of

your applications requiring two PCI mezzanine cards (PMCs). Flexibility

The MVME2400 provides an excellent base platform that can be quickly

and easily customised for a variety of industry-specific applications.

Utilising Motorola’s low-power, high-performance PowerPC750 microprocessor, the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus for onboard

peripherals, processor/memory bus to PCI bus bridges and VME interfaces, the

The MVME2400 processor module packages optimal levels of flexibility and performance into a single VME slot

IEEE P1386.1-compliant PMC slot The MVME2400 features dual PMC ports supporting

front panel and P2 I/O. The following are P2 I/O based PMCs

VME64 expansion connector will be compatible with pin-outs

MVME2400 in addition to providing high performance expansion I/Os

IEEE P1386.1 compliant PMC ports form a common architecture www.ge-drive.com for future generations.

Simply replacing the PMC meets changing I/O needs while reusing the same base platform, reducing long-term cost ownership.

VME64 Expansion Connector To maximise the functionality of the MVME2400. a 5-row 160-pin DIN connector replaces its 3-row 96-pin connector on the VME for P1 and P2.

Two rows of Z and D have been added to the VME P1/J1 and P2/J2 connectors to provide additional I/O for the user.

The VME64 expansion connector is 100% backwards compatible with existing VME card systems.

Features added to the original PowerPlus architecture include support for 100 MHz

local bus operation and synchronous DRAM utilisation (SDRAM) technology.

VME’s superior performance on processor boards based on the PowerPlus II architecture is

not due to a single factor. Several elements of the PowerPlus II architecture in the design contribute to the

performance, including the processor/memory subsystem, the

high-speed local bus, an optimal decoupling architecture that
