Application Information

The TCP212 is a standard 3U CompactPCI carrier that provides front I/O for up to two single-size or one double-size IndustryPack (IP) modules used to build modular, flexible and cost effective I/O solutions for applications in process control, medical systems, telecommunication and traffic control.

For improved EMI protection, two 50 pin champ connectors are mounted in the EMI front panel of the TCP212 and provide access to all IP I/O lines. The champ connectors are assembled with screw locks to achieve a secure and reliable connection to the cable. Status indicators for IP access, +5V and +/-12V are provided in the front panel.

The TCP212 can operate with 3.3V and 5.0V PCI I/O signaling voltage.

All IP interrupt request lines are mapped to PCI INTA. For fast interrupt source detection, the TCP212 provides a special IP interrupt status register.

The IP power lines are fuse protected by self healing fuses and RF filtered. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.

The TCP212 complies with the PICMG 2.0 Revision 3.0 CompactPCI specification.

For First-Time-Buyers the Engineering Documentation TCP212-ED is recommended. The Engineering Documentation includes TCP212-DOC, schematics and data sheets of the TCP212.
