NAMC-MPX-Family

Overview

The scalable and flexible NAMC-MPX-Family offers sophisticated full-size AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) boards with an exclusive range of processors based on miriac™ MPX modules (MicroSys PPC EXtendable modules).

It is dedicated to the embedded markets such as industrial controls, automation, (tele-)communication, defense&aerospace and medical area.

The bandwidth of the new MPX-Family covers the folowing on-board processors from Freescale™

- low-end Power QUICC II Pro MPC8349 @667MHz (NAMC-MPX-PQIIP-8349)
- mid-scale Power QUICC III MPC8548 @1.3GHz (NAMC-MPX-PQIII-8548)
- high-end single core QorIQ™ P1011 @533-800MHz (NAMC-MPX-QorIQ-P1011)
- high-end dual core QorIQ™ P2020 @1.2GHz (NAMC-MPX-QorIQ-P2020)

N.A.T. offers also an Intel® Atom™ Processor E600 (NAMC-MPX-Atom-E600) to satisfy the different addictions, performance or application requirements.

The distinctive feature of this product family is the harmonized base board which offers at the front panel:

- two GbE
- one USB 2.0 and
- one RS232.

N.A.T. especially highlights the pin-compatible QorIQ™ communications processors, the high-performance Power Architecture® cores for applications requiring enormous processor performance, reliability, security and quality in every connection. The NAMC-MPX-QorIQ-P2020 is claimed to deliver the optimal blend of a low cost dual core processor board with high performance.

Fabric Support

Base Fabric

The NAMC-MPX provides two GbE interfaces at port 0 and 1 of the common options region of the AMC backplane connector.

Fat Pipe

The NAMC-MPX offers four bidirectional serial lines that can be operated either as PCIe, SRIO, or a combination of both.

The NAMC-MPX-P2020 can be configured to implement either an x1 (port 4 or 8) or an x4 PCIe interface (ports 4-7 or ports 8-11). A further option is either two x1 (port 4 and 8) or one x4 SRIO interface(s) (port 4-7 or port 8-11). The speed is configurable for 1.25Gb/s, 2.5Gb/s or 3.125Gb/s.

For systems using PCIe and SRIO the board can be set up to offer one x1 PCIe interface (port 4) and one SRIO interface (port 8). In this case the speed of the SRIO interface is fixed at 2.5Gb/s.
