NAMC-xE1/T1

Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) with 8-, 16-E1/T1 or 4-E3/T3 interfaces

The NAMC-xE1/T1 is an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) in single width, compact-, mid- or full-size format providing access to up to 16-E1/T1 in next generation systems based on MTCA and ATCA standards.
The TDM-to-I-TDM converter connects the on-board E1/T1 interfaces with a Gigabit Ethernet port for system interconnects (I-TDM).
The NAMC-xE1/T1 is dedicated for (tele-)communication applications with extensive need for a high aggregation of multiple E1/T1 interfaces combined with access to switched networks based on high bandwidth Ethernet.
The NAMC-xE1/T1 is used for distributing signaling and payload data to DSP or CPU based processor resources within a MTCA or ATCA system.

– Interfaces at the front panel:
– 8x E1/T1 (NAMC-8E1/T1) or

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

The NAMC-QorIQ-P50 is the market’s most powerful single-width mid- or full-size AdvancedMC (AMC) processor boards designed around the high-performance Freescale dual core P5020 and optional Xilinx® Virtex®-6 FPGA.
The NAMC-QorIQ-P5020 is designated for today’s packet oriented telecom applications such as LTE or VoIP.

P5020
The P5020 is a multi-core packet processor offering two 64-bit e5500 cores with up to 2.2 GHz. It provides security and pattern match engines, sophisticated buffer and queue management, and additionally various high speed serial data links. Thus, the board is ideally suited for applications in ATCA and MTCA environments. The rich feature list of the 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 Virtex-6 FPGA architecture 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 two/eight 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 like deep packet inspection, encryption, protocol conversion or Layer 2-7 routing. The NAMC-QorIQ is the optimal choice for applications like multi-service switches, edge routers, radio network controllers (RNCs), VoIP/VoP gateways and routers as well as mobile network equipment.

Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) with Freescale quad core QorIQ® P3041

The NAMC-QorIQ-P3041 is a powerful single-width mid- or full-size AdvancedMC (AMC) processor board designed around the high-performance Freescale quad core P3041 with SATA, PCIe, SRIO and XAUI interface.

The NAMC-QorIQ-P3041 is designated for today’s packet oriented telecom applications such as LTE or VoIP. Additionally the NAMC-QorIQ-P3041 can be used as general purpose CPU in medical, industrial automation, defence & aerospace applications demanding high data throughput and multi-core processing power combined with dual SATA interfaces.

P3041
The P3041 is a multi-core packet processor offering four 32-bit e500mc cores with up to 1.5 GHz. It provides security and pattern match engines, sophisticated buffer and queue management hardware, and additionally various high speed serial data links.

The P3041’s e500mc cores can be combined as a fully-symmetric or as fully asymmetric multi-processing, system-on-a-chip. The ability of the cores to run different operating systems, or run OS-less, provides the user with significant flexibility in partitioning between control, datapath, and applications processing.

The P3041 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. Dual SATA ports provide high-speed, low-cost storage options for statistics or large databases.

The combinations of storage interface, fat pipe combinations of PCIexpress, SRIO and XAUI address the need of applications of a cost-efficient solution compared to the P40 and P50 family members. The P3041 is designed for combined control and dataplane processing enabling high-performance Layer 2-7 processing.

The rich feature list of the P3041 CPU turns the NAMC-QorIQ-P3041 into a state-of-the-art packet processing board.

Thus, the board is ideally suited for applications in ATCA and MTCA environments.
