Application Information

The TPCE210 is a low-profile, half-length PCI Express

Revision 2.0 compatible carrier board for two single QMC

modules or one double QMC module.

It can be 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 TPCE210 is a versatile solution to upgrade any system

with a PCI-Express Add-in Card slot to the new QMC

standard (VITA 93.0).

The PCI Express x4 Link from the host board is routed to

the two QMC sites via a PCI Express switch, allowing the

operation of two different single QMCs.

An on-board Management Controller (IPMC) allows access

to the QMC’s FRU EEPROM and sensors. Ideal for

surveillance of the QMC’s health status.

QMC I/O is accessible through a VHDCI-68 front-panel

connector, supporting access to the full five IOPIPEs of

QMC1 and in addition two IOPIPEs of QMC2.

A unique JTAG header is available for each QMC module

for debugging purposes. Four JTAG signals (TRST# not

included) are routed directly to the QMC site.
