ATCA-PTSW-AMC4_RTM844

The ATCA_PTSW-AMC4_RTM844 is an xTCA[1]  based module that follows the specifications presented in PICMG^® 3.8, RC1.0f from 2 July 2011 that complements PICMG^® 3.0, Revision 3.0 with respect to ARTM[2]  specification.

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

The module implements the following functions:

• PCI Express 8 lane over cable upstream port, compliant with v1.x, operating as a downstream system using ATCA Base carrier with a PCIe bay. The PCIe lanes are mapped on ATCA Base Carrier according Table 2.
• PCI Express 4 lane over cable upstream port, compliant with v1.x., operating as a downstream system using ATCA Base carrier with a PCIe bay. The PCIe lanes are mapped on ATCA Base Carrier according Table 3.
• PCI Express 4 lane over cable downstream port, compliant with v1.x., operating as a upstream system using ATCA Base carrier with a PCIe bay. The PCIe lanes are mapped on ATCA Base Carrier according Table 4.
• Two Gigabit Ethernet ports that are mapped on ARTM connector according Table 5.
• Three General purpose Optical interfaces using SFP (Small form-factor pluggable) connector. These ports are mapped on ARTM connector according Table 6.
• External timing and trigger features connector.
• The ARTM provides features for control and status of on-board devices that are mapped on the ARTM, according tables referenced above.
