Functions
Dual-channel fiber optic transceiver module providing high-speed serial data transmission and reception over single-mode or multimode fiber optic cables. Features transmit and receive capabilities with optical-to-electrical signal conversion, protocol-independent data transport, and PMC form factor for integration into embedded computing platforms. Supports point-to-point and network communication links with low latency, electromagnetic interference immunity, and extended distance capabilities for military, aerospace, and industrial applications requiring reliable fiber optic connectivity.
Platforms
The module is designed for integration within a PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) carrier system, adhering to the IEEE P1386 standard. It provides a serial communication interface utilizing either optical or electrical transceivers. The module's functionality is predicated on an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) for signal processing, and a supporting power supply design operating within the specified voltage and current parameters of the PMC standard.
Applications
Functions: Provides serial communication via Fibre Channel at 1 or 2 Gbps, supporting data transmission and reception.\nHardware: Designed as a PMC module, compliant with IEEE 1386, for installation in a VMEbus or similar carrier card.\nInterfaces: Connects via Fibre Channel ports and communicates with host systems through the PMC interface.\nApplications: Data acquisition, high-speed data transfer, and storage area network (SAN) connectivity in embedded systems.
Accessories
PMC carrier card required (e.g., VME, VPX, cPCI) for hosting. Module features J1/J2 64-pin DIN 41612 connectors for PCI interface. Front panel includes two SFP/SFP+ cages for high-speed serial I/O, requiring compatible SFP/SFP+ transceivers (e.g., LC fiber optic or RJ-45 copper) and associated cables.
Interfaces
Dual fiber optic SFP cages supporting 1000BASE-SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet transceivers, PMC P1 through P4 connectors (64-bit PCI-X 133MHz capable), front panel dual LC duplex fiber connectors for TX/RX channels, JTAG header for boundary scan testing, I2C interface for SFP module monitoring, GPIO pins accessible through PMC P4 connector, requires PMC-compliant carrier board or chassis with appropriate cooling, supports IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet standard, hot-swappable SFP modules, front panel LED indicators for link/activity status per channel
Specifications
High-speed PMC form-factor module designed for transmitting and receiving data in real-time control and data networking applications. Operates within rugged embedded computing platforms, interfacing via standard PMC connectors, supporting industry-standard small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers for optical or electrical links. Enables shared-memory networking with ultra-low latency and high data throughput capabilities, suitable for synchronized control and data exchange in defense and aerospace systems. Typically used in embedded real-time systems requiring reliable, low-latency data transfer and synchronization across multiple processors or devices.
