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.

1 (A1)

GND/

 

Key - Digital Ground

 

(Key)

 

 

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
