CompactPCI (Technical)

This section does not currently contain so much in depth information as I would like.

Since CompactPCI is based on PCI you should first refer to the PCI standard. This only explains the extensions CompactPCI specifies.

Overview:

A CompactPCI system is composed of up to eight CompactPCI card locations:

The connector has 7 columns with 47 rows. They're divided into groups:

The following signals must be terminated:

The following signals must be terminated if used:

The following signals do no require a stub termination:

The System Slot board must pullup the following signals (even if not used):
