1 Introduction
1.1 Board Over view
The CPS3105 is a 3U CompactPCI® Serial carrier board that provides support for one XMC module. The
carrier board is intended to offer system designers a cost-effective solution to expand the systems I/O
capability using a wide range of XMCs available on the market. The CPS3105 is equipped with a dedicat-
ed PCI Express switch between the onboard XMC connector and the CPCI-S.0 system connector provid-
ing two advantages. First, it decouples and buffers the PCI Express signals and restores signal
integrity. Second, it is able to convert one x4 PCI Express 3.0 data stream from the system side into one
x8 PCI Express 2.1 data stream to the XMC side. Thus, maximum data bandwidth can be provided to com-
monly available XMC modules based on PCI Express 2.1.
