ANSI/VITA 57.1-2008 - Revisions Under Consideration
The VITA 57.1 working group is considering the following changes to ANSI/VITA
57.1-2008 that would affect compliance and interoperability. NOTE: This
information is provided for information only. While the working group is currently
considering these changes, they may or may not be approved by the working
group and may or may not become part of a revised standard. Contact VITA for
more information. October 2008.
Change of CLK*_C2M to CLK*_M2C
Version 1.0 of the standard has defined clocks signals from the carrier card to the
mezzanine card; CLK0_C2M_N, CLK0_C2M_P, CLK1_C2M_N, CLK1_C2M_P.
It is proposed that these signals will now be redefined as additional ‘M2C’
signals.
Original Signal Label
(Version 1.0)
CLK0_M2C_P
CLK0_M2C_N
CLK1_M2C_P
CLK1_M2C_N
CLK0_C2M_P
CLK0_C2M_N
CLK1_C2M_P
CLK1_C2M_N
New Signal Label
(Version 1.1)
CLK0_M2C_P
CLK0_M2C_N
CLK2_M2C_P
CLK2_M2C_N
CLK1_M2C_P
CLK1_M2C_N
CLK3_M2C_P
CLK3_M2C_N
A rule will also be added to state that the CLK*_M2C signals need to be
populated starting at the lowest ordinal and working up
Application Specific Signal
A permission will be added to allow application specific signals to be added to the
upper unused signals pins of the LA,HA and HB banks. However they will still
need to meet the voltage rules for those banks.
AC coupling to be placed on the mezzanine card
All AC coupling for the DP signals will all be placed on the mezzanine card. No
AC coupling will be placed on the carrier card.

ANSI/VITA 57.1-2008
American National Standard
for FPGA Mezzanine Card
(FMC) Standard
Secretariat
VMEbus International Trade Association
Approved July 2008
American National Standards Institute, Inc.
Abstract
This standard specifies a form factor and a pin assignment for FPGA
mezzanine modules.
American
National
Standard
Approval of an American National Standard requires
verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process,
consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met
by the standards developer.
Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the
ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement
has been reached by directly and materially affected
interests. Substantial agreement means much more than
a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity.
Consensus requires that all views and objections be
considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward
their resolution.
The use of American National Standards is completely
voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude
anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not,
from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using
products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the
standards.
The American National Standards Institute does not
develop standards and will in no circumstances give an
interpretation of any American National Standard.
Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to
issue an interpretation of an American National Standard
in the name of the American National Standard Institute.
Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the
secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title
page of this standard.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may
be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of
the American National Standards Institute require that
action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw
this standard. Purchases of American National Standards
may receive current information on all standard by calling
or writing the American National Standards Institute.
