• Reuse the carrier board with different IP modules
• Can use any manufacturers' IP module
• No switches or jumpers required to configure the board

• Board requires 5V and ±12V for operation.
• Automatically identifies what type of IP Module is installed, revision level, date code, etc.
• Completely software configurable via the host CPU.
• Board's registers perform all command, data, and status transfers.
• IP Module has the option of two (2) interrupt requests.
• All 50 pins of the unspecified IP module connector connect to the carrier board's 50-pin edge connector.
• cPLD logic decodes, generates, and synchronizes address, data, handshake, and control signals.
• IP Module is a slave device.

The PCIXIP board's operating configuration is entirely software selectable. It can be configured to handle 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit data streams. Operating modes are software selectable and are set by loading the appropriate code into the PCIXIP control registers. The control registers are loaded by firmware with the contents of an on-board PROM after configuration.

The Base Configuration Register is set at power-up according to the user's selected configuration. These settings would not normally be changed during operation.

All communication with the PCIXIP is via registers contained on the PCI bus interface chip (PLX PCI9080). Program control of the PCIXIP is via device registers, which are of three kinds:

Installation of the PCIXIP is easy because the board configuration is software selectable. Just plug the PCIXIP into any 5V, 32-bit PCI slot in the PC chassis along with the desired IP module installed on the carrier board. Secure card in place by attaching rear bracket to chassis with the associated screw. Then attach the 50-conductor cable to your external device. Each PCIXIP comes complete with installation and programming instructions, and the supporting software includes software example programs for the host.

The PCI data bus provides for a 16-bit or 32-bit Big or Little Endian data transfer to the host computer for processing. The particular IP Module used will determine how the data bytes are arranged from the IP Module and transferred via the PCI bus. Configuration for other resolutions is programmable at software startup.

The IP Module uses Big Endian data ordering. Data can be arranged for a 16-bit or 8-bit bus.
