About the X5 XMC Modules
FrameWork Logic
Many of the standard X5 XMC features are implemented in the application logic. This feature set includes a data flow,
triggering features, and application-specific features. In many cases, this logic provides the features needed for a standard
data acquisition function and is supported by software tools for data analysis and logging. In this manual, the FrameWork
Logic features for each card are described in in general to explain the standard hardware functionality.
The X5 FrameWork Logic User Guide provides developers with the tools and know-how for developing custom logic
applications. See this manual and the supporting source code for more information. The X5 XMC modules are supported by
the FrameWork Logic Development tools that allow designs to be developed in HDL or MATLAB Simulink. Standard
features are provided as components that may be included in custom applications, or further modified to meet specific design
requirements.
Integrating with Host Cards and Systems
The X5 XMCs may be directly integrated PCI Express systems that support VITA 42.3 XMC modules. The host card must
be both mechanically and electrically compatible or an adapter card must be used.
The XMC modules conform to IEEE 1386 specification for single width mezzanine cards . This specification is common to
both PMC and XMC modules and specifies the size, mounting, mating card requirements for spacing and clearances.
There are several adapter cards that are used to integrate the XMC modules into other form-factor PCI Express systems, such
as desktop systems.
There are also adapter cards to electrically adapter the PCI Express XMC modules in older PCI systems that use a bridge
device between the two buses. PCI is not electrical
