| Based on the MPC8540 PowerQUICC III communications processor from Freescale Semiconductor, Artesyn Communication Products' Pm8540, a new ProcessorPMC protocol and packet processing engine for telecom infrastructure applications, gives telecom OEMs a simple way to add protocol processing and system management capability to telecom systems equipped with PMC or PTMC (PCI Telephony Mezzanine Card) expansion slots, including Artesyn's own Katana AdvancedTCA and PICMG 2.16 blades. |
Based on the MPC8540 PowerQUICC III communications processor from Freescale Semiconductor, Artesyn Communication Products' Pm8540, a new ProcessorPMC protocol and packet processing engine for telecom infrastructure applications, gives telecom OEMs a simple way to add protocol processing and system management capability to telecom systems equipped with PMC or PTMC (PCI Telephony Mezzanine Card) expansion slots, including Artesyn's own Katana AdvancedTCA and PICMG 2.16 blades. The Pm8540's high-performance, low-power architecture makes it suitable for adding protocol processing, signaling, and OA&M functionality to a wide range of telecom systems, including media gateways, softswitches, signaling gateways, and base station controllers. The Pm8540 features two Gigabit 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports, which are routed to the PMC connector, and one 10/100BaseTX Ethernet port, which is routed to the module's front bezel. The Pm8540 also features up to 512 MB of SDRAM, 32 MB of flash memory, an I2C bus system management controller, and a four-channel DMA controller, which boosts overall performance by facilitating high-speed data movement between module resources without CPU intervention.
