PXI-1044 Backplane Overview

Interoperability with CompactPCI

The PXI-1044 backplane is interoperable with 5 V and universal 
PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products. This is an 
important feature, because some PXI systems may require components that 
do not implement PXI-specific features. For example, you may want to use 
a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis.

The signals on the backplane P1 connectors meet the requirements of the 
CompactPCI specification for both peripheral and system modules. Refer 
to Appendix B, 

Pinouts

, for pinout information.

The PXI-specific signals are on the backplane P2 connectors and are found 
only on those signal lines reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit 
specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of the 
CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXI-1044. Refer to 
Appendix B, 

Pinouts

, for pinout information.

The PXI-1044 has three PXI bus segments linked through 
two 64-bit/33 MHz PXI bridges. The PXI bus segment divisions are 
represented on the front of the chassis by vertical lines as shown in 
Figure 1-1.

The PXI-1044 backplane has +5 V V(I/O). Refer to the 

CompactPCI 

Specification PICMG 2.0 R3.0

 for details regarding V(I/O).

System Controller Slot

The system controller slot is slot 1 of the chassis as defined by the PXI 
Specification. It has three controller expansion slots for system controller 
modules that are wider than one slot. As defined in the PXI specification, 
these slots allow the controller to expand to the left to prevent the controller 
from using peripheral slots.
