Implementing the HIP1011 on Hot Swap CPCI
Boards for High Availability (HA) Platforms
TM
Technical Brief
P RE L I M I NA R Y
August 2000
Introduction
As the board is being connected onto the system bus, the
ground plane and early power are first connected via the
longest pins. The HIP1011 is ground referenced by way of the
GND, PWRON and OCSET pins thus holding off the outputs
during subsequent connection of the medium length pins that
apply the chip and voltage rail bias. Once the system manager
recognizes complete board insertion by the BD_SEL# (shortest
pin) signal being pulled up to V(I/O), it signals that pin low
turning on the HIP1011. With the PWRON, FLTN and the
VOUT asserted, the HEALTHY# is pulled low indicating to the
system manager HW that the board is powered and ready for
use. The PCI_RST# signal is also generated and along with the
Local_PCI_RST# initiates configuration of the remaining Hard
Ware (HW) on the board. Once complete, ENUM# is asserted
by the HW manager and the Soft Ware (SW) configuration
starts, resulting in expected I/O activity. A significant
enhancement from the BASIC AND FULL platforms to the HA
platform is the change from BD_SEL# being hardwired to
ground to being a back plane available signal to the system
controller. Thus the controller can selectively power each and
any board at any time as necessary.
The October 1999 release of the CompactPCI Specification
PICMG 2.0 R3.0 defines for the CPCI environment such
developments as 66MHz operation, 3.3V signaling, the
addition of the System Manager, further definition and
differentiation of Hot Swap (PICMG 2.1 R1.0) and improved
mechanical features. Until now, CPCI Hot Swap features
were offered as a vendor proprietary feature with little or no
interoperability.
PICMG 2.1 R1.0 now defines three Hot Swap system
models: Basic, Full and High Availability (HA) each of
increasing complexity and automation. Intersil Tech Brief
TB358 details the implementation of the HIP1011 on boards
for the Basic and Full models. This Tech Brief details
important specification enhancements as they pertain to Hot
Swap and the HIP1011 solution for boards to be used in HA
System platforms.
HA Normal Insertion Sequence
Figure 1 is a simple diagram illustrating the progression of a
normal insertion. A more detailed state diagram can be
found in PICMG 2.1 R1.0 section 2.4. In the following state

Technical Brief 386
The extraction process begins with the opening of the
ejector handle. The SW connection control drives ENUM#
low to indicate impending extraction of the board. The OS
initiates the quiescing of I/O activity and disassociation from
the board. An LED lights to indicate the H2 / S0 state has
been reached and that removal can continue. The SW now
electrically isolates the board by asserting PCI_RST# and
deasserting BD_SEL#. Once the back end power drops,
HEALTHY# is pulled up indicating the board has been
powered down. The board is now electrically cold and ready
for complete removal.

Controlling the Connection Process
As a specified enhancement in order to provide inter
operability for all HA platforms, all Hot Swap boards must
support the following signals. All of these signal
considerations have been included in the HIP1011BEVAL5
demo board shown in Figure 4. The components and
circuitry referenced below can also be found in Figure 4.
BD_SEL#
BD_SEL# is now an addressable signal in HA platforms. This
signal is on 1 of 2 shortest pins. Thus upon sensing and
subsequent addressing, all other pins have been connected
and are stable. This pin is pulled high to V(I/O) by HW and
signaled low to enable power-on. This is accomplished on the
HIP1011BEVAL5 demo board through R5 and the inverting
buffer on the HIP1011 PWRON pin along with SW1 simulating
the signal. This enhancement to CPCI boards provides single
board power control at any time necessary to the Hot Swap
Controller.
HEALTHY#
A second signal has been added for HW control and is used
to signal that a board has successfully powered-on and is
ready to be released from reset and allowed onto the PCI
bus. On the HIP1011BEVAL5 demo board this signal is
generated by sensing the states of the FLTN, PWRON and
3VISEN pins of the HIP1011. This provides feedback from
the 3 areas of concern: fault status, input state and output
state respectively. HEALTHY# is low when all requirements
are met. The HEALTHY# signal has a minimum requirement
of monitoring the ‘PGOOD’ of the boards power supply and
can be expanded to include other criteria.
Local_PCI_RST#
S2 S2Q
BOARD EXHIBITS NORMAL ACTIVITY
THEN FAILS THUS GOING TO H1F STATE.
The third required signal is the Local_PCI_RST# signal, this
signal is asserted after HEALTHY# is valid and the system
generated PCI_RST# signal is also asserted.
Local_PCI_RST# must be deasserted immediately with the
loss of HEALTHY#.
S3 S3Q
FIGURE 3.
BD_SEL#
Once the system manager recognizes complete board
insertion by the BD_SEL# (shortest pin) signal being pulled
up to V(I/O) it signals that pin low which turns on the
HIP1011. During power-up, if a failure occurs such that
HEALTHY# remains high indicating to the system manager
HW that the board has experienced a failure and cannot be
successfully powered-up. The HW manager then either
resets and retries a start-up cycle or returns to the P0 state
for board replacement.
At anytime during normal operation a failure can occur,
resulting in a board being put into a H1F state with the
HEALTHY# signal high indicating failure.
