SBS Technologies, Inc. Modular I/O today announced the availability of two new mezzanine carrier boards for 6U CompactPCI. Both carriers provide a range of solutions for systems that require front or real-panel I/O in a single 6U CompactPCI slot. The new CP-613 &8220;combo&8221; carrier is the first one to hold up to three modules: two PMC modules and one PC&8226;MIP&8482; module. The CP-620 holds two PMC modules. The CP-613 and CP-620 join the SBS family of Modular I/O solutions for CompactPCI which include carrier boards, PMC modules, and PC&8226;MIP modules. &8220;The CP-613 overcomes a significant barrier for I/O expansion in CompactPCI systems,&8221; said David Greig, Vice President, SBS Technologies Computer Group. &8220;It provides more on-board PCI functionality to allow extra I/O expansion in a single slot. Both the CP-613 and CP-620 are ideal for a variety of high performance industrial, COTS, and telecommunications applications which need maximum I/O density in a single slot.&8221; Price and Availability The CP-613 carrier, which holds two PMC modules and one PC&8226;MIP module will be available in May and is priced at $550 (list). The CP-620 carrier, which holds two PMC modules, will also be available in May and is priced at $495 (list). Features The CP-613 mezzanine carrier holds one PC&8226;MIP module and two PMC modules. The CP-620 mezzanine carrier holds two PMC modules. Using the industry standard Intel 21152 PCI to PCI Bridge, the CP-613 supports a 32-bit data path at 33 MHz for 132 MB/s operation. The PC&8226;MIP site and the PMC sites on the CP-613 support bus mastering. The three expansion sites support front-panel and rear-panel I/O. A rear-panel transition board, the TM-680, is also available. The CP-613 and CP-620 carrier boards comply with the PICMG 2.0, version 3.0 CompactPCI specification. In addition, the CP-613 carrier provides complete compatibility with the PC&8226;MIP draft specification (ANSI/VITA-29).
