1.3.3 DRIVER Software
The PMC240 is supplied with appropriate driver software which provides software interfacing
to the carrier CPU or system master.
1.4 Board Diagrams
The following diagrams provide additional information concerning board functionality and com-
ponent layout.
1.4.1 System Level Interfacing
Because the PMC240 may be used with either a separate carrier board or with a CPU board
which provides interfacing to a PMC module, two System Level Interfacing (SLI) diagrams have
been provided to demonstrate these implementation possibilities. SLI Figure 1-1 demonstrates
system interfacing when used with a CPCI carrier board, and SLI Figure 1-2 demonstrates the
interfacing with a CPU board which supports PMC modules.
In the case of CPU boards, the PMC module may directly be installed on the CPU board itself
or be coupled to the CPU board through an intermediate carrier board. In either event, the func-
tional interfacing to the CPU board is not through a backplane bus.
1.4.1.1 SLI with PMC Carrier Board
This implementation depends on application requirements and available system resources.
The implementation can range anywhere from a single 3U PMC carrier board to multiple 6U
dual PMC carrier boards.
