CAMAC - 2915 PCI Interface to 3922 Controller View Datasheet Request Ordering Information     ABOUT 2915 The 2915 is a computer bus interface adapted for use with computers incorporating the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) local bus. It mounts in any available PCI slot supporting 32-bit data transfers and communicates with the host using the 32-bit data path. The 2915 supports up to eight Model 3922 Crate Controllers via a Model 5843-Txyz 40-conductor, twisted-pair ribbon cable (ordered separately). Signaling on the parallel bus is accomplished using RS-485 balanced line drivers and receivers, giving high noise immunity and allowing an overall cable distance between the 2915 and the last 3922 of up to 90 m (300 ft). The last 3922 on the parallel bus is terminated with a termination card provided with the 3922. Program transfers as well as Direct Memory Access (DMA) are supported by the 2915. The DMA transfers provide a speed-efficient mechanism to move large blocks of data to and from a 3922. The DMA transfer modes include a Q-Stop, Q-Ignore, Q-Repeat, and Q--Scan. Interrupt capability is also provided. An interrupt can be generated by CAMAC Done or by a pending Look-At-Me (LAM). In response to a LAM interrupt, the host performs a parallel poll operation to the 3922 via the 2915.
