The PMC-SB StarFabric PCI Mezzanine Card utilizing StarGen Inc.’s StarFabric bridge, offers a flexible switch fabric interface to real-time networks that scale from a few to hundreds of nodes. The flexibility and scalability of the PMC-SB is ideal for many signal-processing applications, including voice, that require the use of multiple processors to achieve real-time response and throughput.
The PMC-SB is PICMG 2.17 compliant and mounts on a CompactPCI or VME64 PMC carrier to provide a StarFabric interface. The PMC-SB converts a conventional parallel 32- or 64-bit PCI bus operating at up to 66 MHz to dual high-speed serial links compliant with the StarFabric protocol. The two links may be used separately for redundant fabric applications or may be aggregated for higher speed operation.
Incorporates StarGen's StarFabric-to-PCI bridge
32-bit/33 MHz, 64-bit/66 MHz PCI interface
Dual StarFabric links
External RJ-45 connections (shielded CAT5 cabling for up to 10 meters) or PICMG 2.17 compatible Pn4 interconnect
400 Mbyte/sec sustained throughput
Transparent protocol allows PCI-based O/S and application software to run without modification
Fabric autoconfiguration at boot
Redundant links for high availability
"Root" and "Leaf" mode operation
Compatible with Linux, Microsoft Windows, Solaris (SPARC and x86) and VxWorks operating systems
