VME / VXI P1 Connector Pinout


The table below lists the signal assignments for the P1 connector on the VXI bus.
Pinouts are provided for both the slot 0 card and slots 1 to 12 [which are identical].
The VXI interface uses DIN 41612 connectors.
Manufacturers producing DIN 41612 connectors may be found on the VME page; a link is provided below the pin out table.
Editor note; I do not believe that this specification has been updated since 1992.

Both the VMEbus and VXI bus use the same P1 connector, the pin-outs and signal names are the same.
The connector is a 96 pin DIN (41612) 3 rows x 32 pins @ IEEE 1014-1987. The pin-out for either bus is listed in the table above. The latest VMEbus spec added two additional rows, but I'm not sure that the up-grade has hit the VXI spec yet.
Because both bus types can use the same P1 connector, VME cards may be used in a VXI bus. How ever I do not believe VXI cards work in a VMEbus chassis, because of the P2 differences.

The VMEbus signal types for P1 and P2 connectors are listed below:
Open collector signals which require Open Collector drivers and receivers: [Working with Open Collector Pins]
ACFail, BBSY, BERR, DTACK, IACK, SERDAT, SYSFAIL, SYSRESET, [IRQ1 - IRQ7], and [BR0 - BR3].
Three-State signals which require 3-State drivers and receivers: [Working with 3-State Pins]
AS, DS0, DS1, DTACK, RETRY, IACK, LWORD, WRITE, [AM0 - AM5], [A01 - A31], and [D00 - D31].
Totem-Pole signals which require Totem-Pole drivers and receivers: [Working with Totem-Pole Pins]
BCLR, SYSCLK, SERCLK, IACKIN, IACKOUT, [BG0IN - BG3IN], [BG0OUT - BG3OUT].

Back to the main VXI bus page for VXI bus descriptions, or VXI P2 connector pin-outs or VXI P3 connector pinout.
The VME bus Interface description is listed on the VMEbus page.
Or use the Buses icon below to search for related interfaces.





Editor note; The signal assignment table is based on the original VXI IEEE1155-1987 standard.
The pin-out table does not account for IEEE1155-1992, or the revision to the VXI specification in 1998 or 2004.
However defined signal pins do not change between specification updates, which occur ever 5 years as the standards are reviewed.

Engineering note; like the original VME standard, the VXI standard is starting to become out-dated in regards to speed.
