Application Information
The TPMC385 is a Conduction Cooled PCI Mezzanine Card (CCPMC) compatible module providing a four channel Ethernet 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX / 1000BASE-T interface.
A transparent 64 bit, up to 133 MHz PCI-X/PCI to PCIe Bridge and a PCIe Switch provide access to the Intel™ 82574IT Gigabit Ethernet controllers. Each Ethernet interface supports 10, 100 and 1000Mbit/s transmission rates for full duplex operation, 10 and 100Mbit/s transmissions for half duplex operation, and is equipped with a 32 Kbit Serial EEPROM.
The four Ethernet interfaces of the TPMC385 are capable of performing an auto negotiation algorithm which allows both link-partners to find out the best link-parameters by themselves. The TPMC385 is widely user configurable via configuration and status register access over the PCI bus.
The TPMC385-10R routes all four 10/100/1000Mbit/s Ethernet ports to the PMC back I/O P14 connector.
All ports are galvanically isolated from the Ethernet controllers and LEDs on the board indicate the different network activities.
The module meets the requirements to operate in extended temperature range from -40° to +85°C.
