The XPort1021 is an intelligent communications controller targeting high-performance yet low-cost applications. The XPort1021 combines a wide array of supported serial protocols, a broad range of serial interface standards, and a flexible I/O routing structure, to pack maximum flexibility into an industry standard cPCI form factor.

Powered by two MPC8270 (PowerQUICC II) processors, the XPort1021 implements eight serial communication ports, each providing an EIA-530-A-compliant signal set. Supporting HDLC/SDLC, UART, transparent, and BiSync modes, with NRZ, NRZI, FM0, FM1, Manchester and Differential Manchester encoding. Coupled with software-configurable support for RS-232, RS-422, RS-423, RS-485 and MIL-STD-188-114, the XPort1021 provides a wide range of serial options.

The XPort1021 will minimize both the cost and power consumption of your system. Because the PCI bridge is integrated on-chip and the MPC8270s are linked via the 60x bus, the XPort1021 draws less power and costs less than conventional designs based on other processors that require a PCI bridge.

The XTend3130 is a 3U CompactPCI backplane with eight CompactPCI payload slots and two VITA 62 power supply slots. Slot one is the system controller slot and the other seven slots are peripheral slots. Power can be provided by installing a VITA 62 power module in one or both of the power supply slots or by cabling from a power supply.

The XPort1020 is a communications controller targeting high-performance yet low-cost applications. The XPort1020 combines a wide array of supported serial protocols, a broad range of serial interface standards, and a flexible I/O routing structure to pack maximum flexibility into an industry-standard cPCI form factor.

Powered by up to three Freescale MPC8270 (PowerQUICC II) processors, the XPort1020 implements twelve serial communication ports, each providing a EIA-530-A-compliant signal set. Support for HDLC/SDLC, UART, transparent, and BiSync modes, with NRZ, NRZI, FM0, FM1, Manchester, and Differential Manchester encoding is also provided. Coupled with software-configurable support for RS-232, RS-422, RS-423, RS-485, and MIL-STD-188-114, the XPort1020 provides a wide range of serial options.

For a system designer, the XPort1020 will help drive both cost and power consumption down. Because the PCI bridge is integrated on-chip and the processors are linked via the 60x bus, the XPort1020 draws less power and costs less than conventional designs based on other processors that require a PCI bridge.
