AMAT 0190-07847 Applied Materials SBS PCMIP SLOT 4 II Carrier Board

AMAT 0190-07847 | Applied Materials SBS PCMIP SLOT 4 II Carrier Board

The Applied Materials (AMAT) 0190-07847 is a high-performance CompactPCI (CPCI) Carrier Board manufactured by SBS Technologies (now part of GE/Abaco). 

Designated as the MC303 model, this board is designed to host and interface PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMC) or PCMIP modules within the control infrastructure of AMAT semiconductor tools.

 It acts as a bridge, allowing specialized modular functional cards—such as communication, motion control, or high-speed I/O—to be integrated into the tool's primary CPCI backplane.

Technical Parameter Table

Product Advantages and Features

Modular Expandability: The carrier architecture allows for "plug-and-play" customization of the tool's control capabilities without replacing the entire motherboard.

High-Bandwidth Interconnect: Designed to support the high data throughput required for real-time monitoring and robotic synchronization in 300mm wafer fabrication.

Reliable Hardware Bridge: Specifically optimized for the SBS 0190-07910 IP-Octal modules, facilitating high-density serial communication.

Industrial Ruggedization: Built to meet the stringent EMI/EMC standards of semiconductor cleanroom environments, ensuring signal integrity near RF-heavy process chambers.

Related Models & Same Series

The 0190-07847 often works in tandem with other SBS-sourced or CPCI-based modules in the AMAT control rack:

0190-07910: IP-Octal Serial Communication Module (often mounted on this carrier).

0190-12695: CPCI SBS CL7 3U Single Board Computer.

0190-08232: Motion Controller Module.

0190-08680: DeviceNet Scanner (SST-DNP-CPCI).

0190-07451: Analog I/O Interface Board.

Application Cases

This carrier board is a staple in the control towers of advanced AMAT platforms:

Producer SE / GT Series: Managing the complex multi-chamber communication protocols.

Centura & Endura Systems: Used in the VME-to-CPCI transition racks to handle high-speed data acquisition from process sensors.

Communication Gateways: Bridging the tool's central logic with peripheral serial devices via the IP-Octal mezzanine expansion.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation Guidelines:

Module Mounting: If installing a mezzanine card (like the 0190-07910), ensure it is securely screwed to the carrier's standoffs before inserting the carrier into the CPCI rack.

Static Safety: Handle only by the edges of the PCB. These boards contain sensitive logic circuits that are easily damaged by ESD.

Firm Seating: Use the top and bottom extraction levers to press the board into the backplane until the levers click into the locked position.

Maintenance Tips:

Visual Inspection: Periodically check the mezzanine connectors for "creeping"—ensure modules haven't loosened due to tool vibration.

Firmware Sync: When replacing a board, verify that the revision level (e.g., Rev 001) matches the system's software requirements to avoid initialization errors.
