INTRODUCTION These Active Extender boards allow HOT SWAPPING or LIVE INSERTION of the Unit-Under-Test into PCI (CompactPCI for CPCI-64) bus. The “HOT SWAPPING” feature of these extenders eliminates the need for turning the PC Off and On and repeated rebooting. This feature speeds up rework, characterization and test of Unit-Under-Test in the development phase, as well as production test. The elimination of the repeated power cycling also helps prolong the system life and the hard disc operation.
OPERATION Using these Active Extender boards is no different than using a regular extender board, except that the Active Extenders boards offer several extra features. These are explained below: ON-OFF To insert or remove a Unit-Under-Test while system power is on, make sure that the Active Extender is turned Off. There are two ways to turn the Active Extender power On and Off. 1) The mechanical toggle switch on the card. 2) The external control signal.
POWER-ON RESET Each time the Active Extender board is turned Off and then On, a reset signal will be generated from the extender to the Unit-Under-Test automatically. The duration of this reset is 200 milliseconds. The reset to the Unit-Under-Test is also activated every time there is a reset from the bus. CURRENT MEASUREMENT To measure the current being drawn by the Unit-Under-Test, just connect a voltmeter to J3. Every Volt read by the meter represents One Amp, so a voltmeter reading of 0.
FOR CPCI-64 To increase the +5V current limit you must remove the jumper/resistor at R32 and perform the following reworks: To change the current limit to 8A install a 10k resistor at location R32 and a 6.2k resistor at location R22. This does not affect the current measurement reading. To change the current limit to 10A install a 10k resistor at location R32 and R22. This does not affect the current measurement reading. • • To increase the +3.3V current limit, you must supply +3.
As you can see, there will be conflict in case the external supply is connected while the jumper is still in place. This circuit is repeated for each of the 4 voltages, with the exception of the Auxiliary circuit. If you are using external power supplies do not forget to connect the Ground (GND) signals between the system and the supply.
