About This Manual
PMCspan is a PMC carrier module that provides PCI expansion capability for a host VME
processor module. The PMCspan has two PMC slots which support either two single-wide PMC
modules or one double-wide PMC module. Two PMCspans can be stacked on a host VME
processor, allowing up to four additional PMC modules.
PMCspan Models
As of the publication of this manual, the following PMCspan models are supported.
Model Number Description
PMCSPAN16E-002 Primary PMC Carrier Module that attaches to the
MVME51005E/MVME55006E and provides two PMC slots. It
includes a PLX PCI6150 PCI-to-PCI bridge chip with 32-bit PCI
support, and accepts a PMCspan26E-010 Secondary PCI
Expansion Module. Scanbe handles.
PMCSPAN26E-002 Primary PMC Carrier Module that attaches to the
MVME51005E/MVME55006E and provides two PMC slots. It
includes a PLX PCI16150 PCI-to-PCI bridge chip with 32-bit PCI
support and accepts a PMCspan16E-010 Secondary PCI
Expansion Module. IEEE handles.
PMCSPAN16E-010 Secondary PMC Carrier Module that attaches to a PMCspan16E-
002 and provides two PMC slots. The PMCspan16E-010 is
identical to the PMCspan16E-002 except that the PCI-to-PCI
bridge chip, the Clock Configuration logic, and the primary PCI
expansion connector are not present. Scanbe handles.
PMCSPAN26E-010 Secondary PMC Carrier Module that attaches to either a
PMCspan26E-002 and provides two PMC slots. The
PMCspan26E-010 is identical to the PMCspan26E-002 except
that the PCI-to-PCI bridge chip, the Clock Configuration logic, and
the primary PCI expansion connector are not present. IEEE
handles.
All PMCspan models provide both front panel and VME bus I/O.
