Mezzanine card carries two Fibre Channels
The FC2312 family of 2Gbit Fibre Channel host bus adapters provide space-constrained embedded real-time networking and storage applications with two independent channels on a single-width PMC card.
CompactPCI SBC takes the rough with the smooth
The CM4 3U is a CompactPCI single board computer for new and legacy commercial and government COTS applications operating in harsh environments.
"These Gigabit Ethernet cards are excellent examples of how the latest high-performance information technology standards can be applied to embedded military, avionics and industrial applications - applications that often require rear access to all I/O", said Bill Molyneux, Vice President of SBS' General Purpose I/O Products.
A conduction-cooled version of this card, the PMC-GBIT-DT2CC, is offered for military and other extended environmental applications.
PCM-GBIT-DT2BP is the commercial temperature version.
Both Gigabit Ethernet cards are single-width PMCs with 32/64bit 33/66MHz PCI, 66/133MHz PCI-X.
They have back panel I/O access, auto-negotiating protocol selection, and support for Jumbo frames.
Transmit and receive FIFOs and 64Kbyte total per port allow back-to-back transmissions with minimal interface latency.
Dual integrated low-powered MAC/PHY functionality is provided by the Intel 82546EB Ethernet chip.
The chip appears on the PCI bus as a multifunction device reducing the number of PCI-to-PCI bridges required and consequently significantly improving bus performance.
Standard network connection is accomplished through a rear panel I/O and a rear panel interface module for Ethernet, the PIM-GBIT-DT.
Both PMCs and the PIM module are available now.
