VXI interconnect adapter Kinetic Systems

The VCDS is a single-width, C-size VXI module that adapts most B size VME modules for use in a VXI mainframe. The VCDS is a functional replacement for the Colorado Data Systems Model CDS 73A-851.

The VCDS adapter maintains the VMEbus environment, timing, and backplane by buffering the VME address bus, data bus, and control signals and routing them to the installed VME module.

The VCDS supports seven interrupt levels, IRQ1 through IRQ7. The VCDS has an Interrupt Select Switch for each level on the VXIbus. The switches determine if the installed VME module will act as an interrupt handler or an interrupter, for each of the VXIbus interrupt levels.
