PCI and PCI-X

Interface unit is intended for data exchange between multiprocessor computer block consisted of base modules and master controller. Since data transfer formats in multiprocessor computer block and electric parameters of signals in master controller are different, so interface unit converts data formats and reconciles them with electric parameters.

Interface unit is set into connector (slot) of PCI or PCI-X bus of main board of master controller and converts data for transfer to multiprocessor computer block via LVDS channels.

 

Technical specifications (PCI mode)
