NAT-MCH-SRIO

The NAT-MCH-SRIO HUB-Module provides a non-blocking high performance data switching functionality for up to 12 AMCs. It supports x1 and x4 lane configurations.

The non-hierarchical structure of SRIO allows for superior bandwidth data communication between each end point. Additionally, SRIO data integrity and health checks are performed by hardware.

Although it is SRIO Gen 2, the switch module is backwards compatible to SRIO Gen 1 and supports any mixture of SRIO Gen 1 and  Gen 2 AMC modules.

• Non-blocking, non-hierarchical data switching functionality to each of the 12 AMCs in an MTCA system
• Configurable x1 or x4 SRIO interfaces to 12 AMC modules, with up to 20 Gb/s per port (x4)
• Backplane update fabric to second MCH
• Operation baud rate per data lane 1.25 Gbit/s, 2.5 Gbit/s, 3.125 Gbit/s, 5Gbit/s, or 6.25 Gbaud
• Two optional face plate uplinks
• Transport layer error management
• Low latency packet transport
• Configuration interface via onboard microcontroller
• 3 onboard temperature sensors
