On-Chamber CSM Adapter

Revised 28 July 2003 by hazen@bu.edu.

This page documents the "on-chamber" CSM adapter, which is designed to mount on the crossplate of an MDT chamber. It provides an interface between up to 18 Octal type mezzanine boards and a CSM-0 VME module.

There are two PC boards: the passive motherboard (from Michigan) and the mezzanine board (described here). Here are some slides describing this adapter.

PC Board Changes required for correct operation:
  1. Remove RESET Pin (follow link for details...)
  2. JTAG Clock Termination (follow link for details...)
