PXIe controller COM Express based
Project description
This project is a PXIe system controller that is based on a COM Express Computer on Module.
Main Features
- Compliance with COM Express module:
- Basic 'b'-type
- Pin-out type 6
- The used COM Express Basic module needs to be configurable to 4x PCIe x4 lanes
- Heat spreader allows for 42 Watt dissipation in airflow of 1.0 - 1.5 m/s
- Compliance with PXIe standard for 3U system controller slot
- PCIe lane designed to meet PCIe GEN 3 specification
- 16x PCIe lanes routed to the PXIe backplane connector
- PXI trigger controller (FPGA)
- Possibility to install a full size mSATA SSD (supports mini mSATA)
- Front panel
- 1x RS232 port DSUB9 connector
- 4x USB 2.0
- 2x USB 3.0
- 1x 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN
- 1x DisplayPort
- 1x SMB Trigger line
- Xilinx XC7A50T-1FTG256C FPGA for trigger management
