Advantech AMC-4201 with QorIQ P4080 multicore processor

Click2Contact

The AMC-4201, based on Freescale Semiconductor’s QorIQ P4080 multicore processor, has been added to the AdvancedMC range.

It is suitable for infrastructure designs in elements such as basestation controllers, radio network controllers and access gateways for LTE as well as in networking, telecom and broader general-purpose embedded equipment.

It is a single-width, mid-size AMC and combines eight Power Architecture e500 cores operating at frequencies up to 1.5 GHz with datapath acceleration logic, extensive networking I/O and peripheral bus interfaces.

It provides 2, 4 and 8 GB build options for onboard DDR3 memory at 1333 MHz with ECC support. One front-panel 10 GbE SFP+ connector provides network access in addition to a front-panel console and debug port.

The SERDES design supports up to four different AMC port configurations for a mix of SRIO, PCIe, XAUI and SGMII channels, catering to a range of MicroTCA or ATCA Carrier topologies beyond telecom applications. 16 Mb SPI flash and 2 GB NAND flash provide onboard options for software and storage. The AMC also provides 8 kHz and 19.44 MHz telecom clock synchronisation support.

The processor’s built-in security co-processor delivers an aggregate 10 Gbps of bulk encryption/decryption depending on the security protocol and specific algorithms.
