CHAMP-AV8 (VPX6-462) HARDWARE USER’S MANUAL CURTISS-WRIGHT
2-4 PROPRIETARY 826448 VERSION 5 MARCH 2015
Power Supply
Requirements
Baseboard 12 V power supply requirement for each CHAMP-AV8 is minimum 12 A. Baseboard
3.3 V power supply requirement for each CHAMP-AV8 is minimum 0.5 A.
Overall Thermal
Power Dissipation
Thermal power dissipation, typical application is 100 W. Thermal power dissipation, maximum
is 130 W.
BIOS CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
The on-board BIOS contains configuration parameters that are used to configure certain
features of the board. These parameters are explained in the BIOS User's Manual. For initial
power-up of the board, there should be no need to modify these parameters. Each processor
node has a separate BIOS and BIOS configuration. BIOS configuration changes intended for
both processor nodes must be performed twice (once per node).
XMC MODULE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The CHAMP-AV8 provides one XMC only site. This site is located on the on the top of the card
and is supported by connectors J14, J15 and J16.
See Figure 1.6, “Core Functions FPGA Block Diagram,” on page 1-12 for an illustration of the
CHAMP-AV8 board layout.
The XMC site is designed to conform to the following specifications:
XMC I/O The CHAMP-AV8 supports backplane user I/O through the VPX connectors (see “CHAMP-AV8
I/O Mapping” on page A-8 for details).
XMC SITE
The VITA 42 standard and subsidiary specifications define the XMC mezzanine module format
which adds high-speed data interfaces and I/O capability to the PMC standard. Together these
improvements allow for the next generation of mezzanine modules with improved throughput
to the host processor and dramatically increased I/O bandwidth.
The CHAMP-AV8 is equipped with one XMC mezzanine site that is available as a build option
and connected to the base board PCIe switch. This site supports either a 4-lane Gen1 PCIe
interface that is capable of 1 Gbyte/s or an 8-lane (x8) Gen1 PCIe interface capable of 2
Gbyte/s simultaneously in both transmit and receive directions.
These numbers do not include XMC power usage, which may be differently distributed than
the baseboard power, but should be added to it if an XMC is used.
Please note that the CHAMP-AV8 does not provide a keying pin due to board real
estate restrictions.
Installing an XMC with incompatible signaling levels can cause permanent damage
to the CHAMP-AV8 baseboard as well as the XMC.
Review your XMC module’s power requirements carefully to ensure that you do
not install an incorrect XMC in the CHAMP-AV8 XMC site.
