ATCA-PTSW-AMC4_RTM

The ATCA-PTSW-AMC4_RTM board  is an xTCA[1] based module that follows the specifications presented in PICMG[2]^® PhysRTM.0, Revision 1.0 Draft 0.1g that complements PICMG^® 3.0, Revision 3.0[3] with respect to ARTM[4] specification.

The module acts as a passive External Host to ATCA Base carrier interface, providing the required electrical and logical connections, with status information.

The module main features are:

• PICMG 3.8 R1.0 compliant (ARTM “Zone 3A”)
• PCI Express Cable 16× plug to connect to an external host adapter; PCI Express External Cabling Rev1.0.
• Four General purpose SFP links (Optical or Ethernet)
• One SFP Gigabit link (Ethernet only) connected to AMC1.
• External Timing mezzanine interface for timing modules:
  • RMC-TMG-1588 module implementing an IEEE-1588-2008 over Ethernet interface to an external Grand Master clock, or:
  • Standard TTL clock/trigger interface.
