VME PCI Express Crate Controller for aerospace, industrial, and laboratory applications

Highland Technology announces the release of the V120 VME PCI Express Crate
Controller for aerospace, industrial, and laboratory applications.

The V120 is a VME bus master crate controller, usable as a crate slot 0 arbiter or as a
secondary controller. Each PCI Express cable driver board, in a PC backplane, can drive
one or two V120s over standard, flexible PCI Express cable assemblies up to 7 meters
long.

Designed for long-term availability, the V120 contains no proprietary VME chips.
Clean, simple architecture means no jumpers and no setup needed for basic VME I/O.
VME module registers are directly mapped into PC address space. The V120 provides
8184 remapping registers, each controlling a 16 kbyte PC-to-VME remapping page with
flexible timing and endian controls. The default powerup mapping allows immediate
access to the A16, A24, and partial A32 VME address spaces. DMA and VME64
support are optional.

Ethernet and USB ports are included. Status LEDs and scope monitors expose bus
operation and timing. Bus cycle analysis, power supply, temperature, and air flow
monitoring are standard.
