• 16 channels of input signal conditioning
• 16 channels of output signal conditioning: 4 HSD switches (4 channels per switch,
2 switches per cluster)
• Optoisolation for each input and output channel from the system side
• One FPGA (the DIO ProComm Controller)
• One CompactPCI bus connector (CON1, board to backplane, 132-pin, female, six row)
• One EEPROM (CapROM)
1.4 System Relevant Information
The following system relevant information is general in nature but should still be considered
when developing applications using the CP383.
1.4.1 System Configuration
When implementing applications, precautions must be taken to ensure that the input signals
presented to the CP383 comply with the specifications set forth in this manual. For this reason
it will be necessary for most applications to provide signal conditioning prior to presenting the
digital inputs to the CP383.
The external supply voltage (VCC) used as the output voltage on the CP383, must be within
the specified supply voltage range. In addition, it should be a DC supply with good ripple and
noise characteristics. Please refer to chapters 4 and 5 for further information.
1.4.2 Driver Software
The CP383 is supplied with appropriate driver software which provides software interfacing
with the System Master.

SUBJECT INFORMATION
System Configuration The CP383 operates with a system clock frequency of 33 MHz.
The number of CP383s which can be installed in any one system depends
solely on the number of carrier interfaces available.
Master / Slave Functionality The CP383 functions only as a slave. As such it requires a System Master for
servicing.
System Controller The CP383 cannot function as a system controller.
Digital Inputs Digital inputs to the CP383 must be conform to the inputs specifications set
forth in this manual for the CP383. In most cases, some form of signal condi-
tioning will be required on the process side prior to a signal being presented
to the CP383.
Digital Outputs The voltage source for the digital outputs of CP383 must conform with the
specifications set forth in this manual.
