Processor AMC based on Freescale QorIQ P4080

Data Plane Processor AMC module

The AM4140 is a data plane CPU board implemented as Single Mid-Size Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) for MicroTCA applications. The design is based on the Freescale QorIQ P4080 8-Core processor, with cores based on the e500 Power Architecture®. Due to the P4080 processor, the AM4140 meets highest demands in multi-threaded processing: in combination with high-speed fabrics and frame handlers, the multi-core architecture allows high throughputs, as well as low latencies. To match demands on high-performance, the AM4140 provides a high-speed dual-channel memory with up to 8 GB ECC-RAM. In order to grant reliability of the application, the AM4140 features redundant U-Boot.

– Freescale QorIQ P4080 – 8-core CPU @ 1.5GHz
– Serial Rapid IO, PCIe and 1/10GbE fabrics
– Fast dual-channel memory (up to 8 GB RAM with ECC)
– Useable in managed (with MCH) and unmanaged (without MCH) systems
– Long life cycle beyond 7 years

Features:
– Conforms to PICMG 2.0 R 3.0, PICMG 2.1 R 1.0, PICMG 2.5 R 1.0
– System slot right
– Front of the backplane supports IEEE 1101.10-compliant boards
– Rear of the backplane supports IEEE 1101.11-compliant transition cards
– RSR backplanes have the capability to support various external devises such as supplemental cooling fans and I/O hardware
– RSR backplane series was developed for systems using a cPCI-CPU which does not support the CT bus on the J4 connector
– Pins of rows A to E of the P4 connector in the system slot are not connected to the backplane and available to the CPU board for rear I/O applications
– In keeping with the cPCI specification, rows Z and F of the system slot P4 connector are connected to the logical GND layer.
