Interrupts are fully supported with a simple but powerful architecture.  Each of the four IPs is able to

generate up to two interrupt requests.  These eight request lines are paired with the seven available

VMEbus

interrupt request levels by a simple jumper block.  Alternatively, a user provided PLD may be installed to

perform arbitrarily complex interrupt mappings.

Front panel IP access acknowledge (ACK) and power check LEDs are provided for visual verification. Two

power check circuits detect blown fuses and line faults on any IP slot. The VIPC616 provides fuse

protection,

RF filtering and de-coupling capacitance on all IP power lines.
