Functional Description
Introduction
This chapter describes the MCPN750A single-board computer on a block 
diagram level. The General Description provides an overview of the 
MCPN750A, followed by a detailed description of several blocks of 
circuitry. 
 shows a block diagram of the overall board 
architecture.
Detailed descriptions of other MCPN750A blocks, including 
programmable registers in the ASICs and peripheral chips, can be found in 
the MCPN750A CompactPCI Single Board Computer Programmer’s 
Reference Guide
 (MCPN750A/PG). Refer to it also for additional 
functional description information.
