FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES

The new 3U-160 CompactPCI

SpaceWire board available in
engineering and flight versions
provides the ability to interface
between a 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI
bus and a four-port SpaceWire
router. The board architecture
includes on-board processing
and memory capabilities with
up to 8 MB of error-corrected
SRAM. The 3U-160 CompactPCI
SpaceWire board can be obtained
in either two or four SpaceWire
port versions, where the four
SpaceWire port version has a
wider front panel header that
covers more than one slot of a
standard CompactPCI backplane.

The CompactPCI interface employs

Hypertronics connectors. With minor
limitations, it is compatible with 64-bit
CompactPCI backplanes. The PCI interface
is also capable of acting as the PCI central
resource.

The 3U-160 CompactPCI SpaceWire board can

be operated either as a stand-alone board or
integrated with host processors such as the
RAD750single board computer. In addition to
the base support software accompanying the
board, BAE Systems offers additional software
for utilizing the embedded microcontroller
on this board either as a remote assistant
to other processors on the PCI bus, or as a
standalone microcontroller taking advantage
of the memory on this board.

Based on the successful insertion of

SpaceWire into current missions such as the
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and future
networking requirements of our customers,
this board is the first of an expanded set
of planned offering of SpaceWire products
(boards, boxes, software and support) to
address a wider variety of applications and
improve the infrastructure of the network.

Not Just a SpaceWire Router

The 3U-160 CompactPCI SpaceWire board
can stand alone or be integrated with other
CompactPCI Boards such as the 3U RAD750
Single Board Computer. In either case, the
board-processing function can easily be
extended by taking advantage of the on-board
embedded micro controller.
A memory subsystem on the 3U-160
CompactPCI SpaceWire Board comprised of
non-volatile start-up ROM and volatile SRAM
is provided for local code or data storage.
The CompactPCI connector set provides
the means to interface with other system
components across the PCI Bus.
Flexibility
The 3U-160 CompactPCI SpaceWire Board
supports the installation of up to three
oscillators to clock the system logic, PCI Bus
logic and SpaceWire logic respectively. The
system oscillator, along with the installation
of the appropriate jumpers and the SpaceWire
ASIC, can be used to clock the entire Board.
The other two oscillators, for clocking the
PCI Bus logic and SpaceWire logic, can be
optionally installed if other frequencies are
desired.
