NAMC-QorIQ-P5020

Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) with NXP (Freescale™) dual-core QorIQ® P5020 and optional Xilinx Virtex®-6 FPGA

The NAMC-QorIQ-P5020 is the market's most powerful single-width, mid- or full-size AdvancedMC™ (AMC) processor boards designed around the high-performance NXP (formerly Freescale™) dual core P5020 and optional Xilinx® Virtex®-6 FPGA.

The NAMC-QorIQ-P5020 is designed for today's packet-oriented telecom applications such as LTE or VoIP.

QorIQ P5020
The NXP (Freescale) QorIQ P5020 is a multi-core packet processor offering two 64-bit e5500 cores at up to 2.2 GHz. It provides security and pattern match engines, sophisticated buffer and queue management and various high speed serial data links. The board is therefore ideally suited for applications in AdvancedTCA (ATCA) and MicroTCA (MTCA) environments. The rich feature list of the QorIQ P5020 CPU turns the NAMC-QorIQ-P5020 into a state-of-the-art packet processing board.

The P5020 packet processor is accompanied by a set of supporting hardware blocks for time keeping/tracking as well as for external protocol processing/conversion and acceleration.

The best of two worlds: NAMC-QorIQ-P5020-V6
The powerful QorIQ processor, in combination with the most advanced Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA, results in an unrivalled power engine for data and packet processing as well as protocol acceleration. Providing I-TDM support by default, a major part of the FPGA is available for customer use.

Real time clock/PLL
The board is equipped with an on-board Real Time Clock and precision oscillator to support time keeping and time tracking for protocols like RTP (Real Time Protocol) or PTP (Precision Time Protocol, IEEE 1588).

The low jitter PLL allows telecom clocks to be derived from on-board sources and to be provided to the system by the MTCA clock distribution network.

Load Indicators
Each of the PowerPC cores has its own load indicator LED at the front panel. The load indicators provide a visual feedback of the current load balancing between the individual CPU cores.

Applications
Due to the unique combination of the powerful and feature-rich packet processor and the user accessible FPGA, the NAMC-QorIQ is ideally suited to any voice/data application with requirements such as deep packet inspection, encryption, protocol conversion or Layer 2-7 routing. The NAMC-QorIQ is the optimal choice for applications such as multi-service switches, edge routers, radio network controllers (RNCs), VoIP/VoP gateways and routers as well as mobile network equipment.
