PC/104-Plus Interface (J12)
The PC/104-Plus uses a 120-pin (30x4) 2mm header interface. This interface header carries all of the
appropriate PCI signals operating at clock speeds up to 33MHz. The Northbridge, VT8606, integrates a
PCI arbiter that supports up to four devices with three external PCI masters. This interface header
accepts stackable modules and is located on the top of the board.
Table 3-4 provides the signals and descriptions for each of the PCI bus pin-outs.
Table 3-4. PC/104-Plus Pin/Signal Descriptions (J12)
Pin # Signal Input/
Output Description
1 (A1) GND/
(Key) Key - Digital Ground
2 (A2) VI/O +5 volt power supply ±5%
3 (A3) AD05 T/S PCI Address and Data Bus Line 5 – There are 32 signal lines
(address and data) and the signals on these lines are multiplexed.
A bus transaction consists of an address followed by one or more
data cycles.
4 (A4) C/BE0* T/S PCI Bus Command/Byte Enable 0 – This signal line is one of four
signal lines. These signal lines are multiplexed, so that during the
address cycle, the command is defined and during the data cycle,
the byte enable is defined.
5 (A5) GND Digital Ground
6 (A6) AD11 T/S PCI Address and Data Bus Line 11 – Refer to Pin-3 for more
information.
7 (A7) AD14 T/S PCI Address and Data Bus Line 14 – Refer to Pin-3 for more
information.
8 (A8) +3.3V +3.3 volt power supply ±5%
9 (A9) SERR* O/D System Error – This signal is for reporting address parity errors.
10 (A10) GND Digital Ground
11 (A11) STOP* S/T/S Stop – This signal indicates the current selected device is
requesting the master to stop the current transaction
12 (A12) +3.3V +3.3 volt power supply ±5%
13 (A13) FRAME* S/T/S PCI Bus Frame access – This signal is driven by the current
master to indicate the start of a transaction and will remain active
until the final data cycle
14 (A14) GND Digital Ground
15 (A15) AD18 T/S PCI Address and Data Bus Line 18 – Refer to Pin-3 for more
information.
16 (A16) AD21 T/S PCI Address and Data Bus Line 21 – Refer to Pin-3 for more
information.
17 (A17) +3.3V +3.3 volt power supply ±5%
18 (A18) IDSEL0 In Initialization Device Select 0 – This signal line is one of four
signal lines. These signals are used as the chip-select signals
during configuration
19 (A19) AD24 T/S PCI Address and Data Bus Line 24 – Refer to Pin-3 for more
information.
