Adapter speeds migration of PCI designs to PMC
The 4044 PCI-to-PMC adapter allows designers to insert either a 32 or 64bit PCI or PCI-X card in a PMC site, permitting accelerated development of PMC solutions using existing PCI boards.
As delivered, the board termination is programmed as active.
However, termination state may be changed by reprogramming the module.
Built around the LSI 53C1030, the 4972 features a 16Kbyte serial EEPROM which is used to store user configurable parameters by the LSI BIOS.
A 512Kbyte x 8bit Flash memory holds the BIOS for Intel platforms and the BIOS is burned in the Flash as delivered.
A 32Kbyte x 8bit non-volatile RAM holds mirroring data as required by the LSI logic firmware.
A set of LEDs on the body of the board convey activity status.
Two LEDs indicate SCSI channel activity, another LED indicates ARM processor heartbeat, and an additional two show that termination voltage is available at each of the SCSI interfaces.
The 4972 lists for US $695.00.
Quantity discounts are available.
The card is available for immediate shipment.
