The PEV_7912 is a 6U VME64x PCI Express to VME bridge board with enhanced expansion capabilities and fully compliant with the latest PCI-SIG’s “PCI Express External Cabling Specification”, allowing to extend its onboard PCI Express bus infrastructure and to break trough the VME crate boundaries with copper cables.
The PEV_7912 forms part of a line of IOxOS Technologies VME64x products featuring its proprietary ALTHEA 7910 solution, a PCI Express to VME64x Bridge implemented in a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA to deliver an extremely competitive COTS in terms of cost, performance and power consumption. This field proven solution natively supports all Master/Slave VME64x modes of operation with Slot_1 System Controller function, including VME64x data transport 2eVME and 2eSST modes with maximal burst length capability, while guaranteeing very long term availability of the board as a result of not depending on already obsolete third party VME interfaces.
