1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The carrier provides an actively-buffered electrical interface for the standard VME bus signals. The VX402C-64 does not support the full VME64 extension bus; however, -0001, -0003, and -0004 versions provide +3.3V power to the P1 row D VME64 extension. The adapter also features a VXI C-size mechanical enclosure to support and shield the VME module.

2.0 INSTALLATION C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com 2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION In most cases the VX402C-64 is individually sealed and packaged for shipment. Verify that there has been no damage to the shipping container. If damage exists then the container should be retained as it will provide evidence of carrier caused problems. Such problems should be reported to the carrier immediately as well as to C&H.

3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com 3.1 GENERAL VX402C-64 is a general purpose carrier module for VXI C-Size chasses. The module provides actively buffered signals, which meet all VME specifications, to the VME module. A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 5. P1 J1 Trigger Buffer Interrupt Buffer To VME Module Address Buffer P2 J2 Data Buffer Pass-Through Connectors Trigger Buffer Figure 5.
3.2 TRIGGERS C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com Both ECL and TTL triggers are supplied through the VX402C-64. There are switches on the carrier which are used to set the direction of the triggers (to the backplane and from the backplane). 3.2.1 TTL TRIGGERS Eight TTL Trigger lines pass through the VX402C-64 to the front panel: TTLTRG0-7. Each trigger line may be set as an input or output trigger.
3.2.2 ECL TRIGGERS C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com The VX402C-64 supports two ECL Trigger lines: ECLTRG0-1. Each trigger line may be set as an input or output trigger. The trigger direction is set using switch S2 which can be seen in Figure 7. The trigger directions are clearly marked on the board itself.

C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com 3.3.3 PASS-THROUGH CONNECTORS One major difference between the VME bus and the VXI bus is that the outer rows of the P2 connector are not defined on the VME bus and they are defined on the VXI bus. For this reason, the VX402C-64 Active Module Carrier provides a Pass-Through Connector system that be used to optionally connect or not connect the VME P2 Rows A & C signals to the VXI P2 Rows A & C signals.
C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com A one-to-one cable that connects Pin 1 (C32) on the VXI side to Pin 1 (C32) on the VME side, and so on, could only be used if the VME module was designed to meet all of the VXI bus specifications for these pins. If the installed VME module can not handle -24V, +24V, -5.2V or any other signal on the corresponding pin, then a one-to-one cable can not be used.
3.4 SUMBUS CONFIGURATION C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com The VX402C-64 provides a direct connection of the SUMBUS signal through the pass-through connector to the front connectors. The board also has a prototyping area so that the user can hardwire a custom buffer for the SUMBUS signal. 3.4.1 SUMBUS CUSTOM AREA The SUMBUS custom area consists of a prototyping grid, ±12V supplies, and two jumpers for configuring the signal.
3.4.2 SUMBUS JUMPER SETTINGS C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com In order to use the SUMBUS signal, the jumpers J11 and J12 must be configured properly. The three different settings for the jumpers can be seen in Figure 10. The SUMBUS signal can be connected directly to the front panel (A), connected through the prototyping area (B), or disconnected (C). The pass-through connector must be installed for the SUMBUS signal to route to the front panel.

4.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS C&H Technologies, Inc. <> 445 Round Rock West Drive <> Round Rock, TX 78681 <> www.chtech.com While the VX402C-64 is an active carrier, it is designed to be completely transparent to the host interface. For this reason, the VME module can be accessed as if it were plugged directly into the host backplane. In order to operate the VME module, first set up the hardware configurations on the VX402C-64. Then set the necessary trigger directions using the switches.
