CM106 Rugged PMC Carrier Expansion Card

As the processing power of SBCs continues to increases, expanding system functionality by means of PCI
Mezzanine Cards (PMCs) is frequently the method of choice for maximizing performance while minimizing system size, power consumption, and cost.

In order to facilitate expandability beyond the PMCsi tes on SBCs, Aitech has developed the CM106 PMC
Carrier. When used in conjunction with PowerPC® SBCs that provide PCI on P0, such as Aitech’s C106,
the CM106 adds two PMC sites per backplane slot. Depending on the SBC, up to two CM106s can be
used, providing a total of up to 6 PCI sites including those on the SBC.

CM106 architecture is based on a PCI-PCI bridge connecting the primary 64-bit 33 MHz PCI expansion
bus on P0 to a secondary 64-bit 33 MHz PCI bus on which the two PMC sites reside. A total of 110 factory
configurable PMC I/O lines are routed to the VME P2 connector. Air-cooled versions of the CM106 also
provide front panel access to PMCs equipped with front panel features.

Designed for harsh environment applications, the 6Ufo rm factor CM106 is available in commercial and
rugged air-cooled and conduction-cooled configurations.

With it’s extremely low power consumption (4W maximum) the CM106 provides maximum expansion
capabilities while consuming minimum resources.
