TPCE275-10R

Application Information

The TPCE275 is a standard height PCI Express Revision

1.1 compatible module that provides one slot for a single-

width XMC module used to build modular, flexible and cost

effective I/O solutions for all kinds of applications like

process control, medical systems, telecommunication and

traffic control.

The TPCE275 is a versatile solution to upgrade well

known XMC I/O solutions to the PCI Express signalling

standard.

The PCI Express x1 link from the host board to the XMC

module is enhanced by a PCIe Redriver, allowing safe

operation of XMC modules on PCIe mainboards.

VPWR is selectable via order option. The TPCE275-x0R

variants provide for 12V VPWR and the TPCE275-x1R

order options provide 5V VPWR.

The TPCE275 supports XMC front panel I/O, and also P14

and P16 rear I/O independently.

XMC P14 rear I/O is provided through a VME P2 style

connector (IEC 60603-2, Type C). The I/O mapping of P14

complies with VITA-35 (“PMC P4 to VME-P2, Rows A-C

mapping”).

XMC P16 rear I/O is provided through two 50-pin flat cable

connectors mounted in a 2.54mm grid.

The PCIe edge card connector provides +12V and +3.3V.

The TPCE275-1xR uses the +12V of the PCIe edge card

connector to generate all power supply voltages for the

XMC slot (+3.3V, VPWR and +12V).

According to the PCIe specification, a PCIe x1 card is

limited to 6W on the +12V which allows to operate many of

the available XMC modules on the TPCE275-1xR.

For increased power requirements of an XMC module, the

TPCE275-2xR offer a PCIe Graphics Power Connector to

supply the +12V for generating all the power supply

voltages for the XMC slot providing power of up to 25W.

A 10-pin JTAG header is available for XMC module

debugging purposes. All five JTAG signals are routed

directly to the XMC slot.
