IC-PQ2-PMCc PMC module is designed in accordance with IEEE1386 standard. It features a high performance 32-bits PowerPC processor with three Fast Ethernet controllers. A local co-processor takes in charge all communication functionalities unloa-ding thus the PowerPC processor.

IC-PQ2-PMCc can be used in conjunction with CompactPCI, VME carriers or proprietary design. Many networks or embedded applications can be developed on-board :
  • Processor module with a need of high level of integration and low power consumption
  • Low cost embedded application
  • Communication controller with Multi-Ethernet Links
  • Time stamping on the data flow, Traffic shaping, ...
  • Ethernet channels with redundancy

Description

IC-PQ2-PMCc is powered by a MPC8270, being part of the PowerQUICCII processor family. This embedded processor couples a 603e core with a RISC communication processor and three Fast Ethernet controllers. This low power design, less than 4W with three Ethernet ports, makes system integration easier.

IC-PQ2-PMCc CPU board implements a 64bits PowerPC local bus. This local bus is usable by the host via the 32 bit-PCI bus through a PowerPC-to-PCI bridge.

IC-PQ2-PMCc can be used in Monarch, Non-Monarch or in stand-alone mode. According to the application, the PMC processor module can be host or simple station.

IC-PQ2-PMCc provides three full-duplex 802.3 and Fast Ethernet controllers associated to three PHY 10/100TX interfaces. Each controller implements a local FIFO and DMA channel and supports the promiscuous mode.

IC-PQ2-PMCc is specially designed for industrial environment as it is available in extended and rugged versions with coating. A temperature sensor monitors the operational constraints. Surge protections implemented on each Ethernet lines make this board particularly fitted to harsh conditions.
