Altera Atmel Lattice through the external cable e Master I2C and SPI interfaces The CPLD logic can be customized as required The standard package of the extender includes full schematics and logic for the CPLD All these functions communicate with the computer through a parallel interface The same interface can be used to update or to load the customer s specific functions into the on board CPLD The extender supports two types of the computer enclosures the 2U and the standard profiles The angled connector of the extender allows for easy access to the UUT card The Extender has additional support tabs for the stabilization of the PCI express add in card UUT Amfeltec Corporation filed a Patent Application that covers this unique future PCI Express Extender Hardware Manual Revision 1 4 Page 5 General Description exlO exPRESS AMFELTEC Q 2004 GO WPPP Im Figure 1 PCI Express Extender PCI Express Extender Hardware Manual Revision 1 4 Page 6 3 1 3 2 3 3 3 4 Specifications Features Specifications Features Power and Signaling e Visualization of UUT powers 3 3V AUX 3 3Volt and 12V Green LEDs e Overloading Protection OLP on the UUT 43 3V and 12V supplies e Under voltage protection UVP on the UUT 43 3V 12V e UUT power failure protection in case OLP or UVP and indication filer on the LED red e Extender can be powered from primary PCI express or from external power supply d
