Embedded Ethernet switches outstrip PCI versions
The IPnexus CPC4411 and CPC4416 embedded Ethernet switches join the broadest and most comprehensive embedded Ethernet switch offering in the industry.
The AMC335 is a fully programmable communications subsystem that is capable of sustaining high datarates for a variety of protocols that are used in synchronous data communications.
The architecture of the AMC335 capitalises on the intelligence of the Freescale MPC8270 Quad Integrated Communications Controller (PowerQUICC II), which enables it to act as an optimised communications controller.
The module is ideally suited for use in creating flexible and efficient radar gateways, radar recorders, protocol convertors, serial gateways, and front-end I/O elements as well as many other communications devices that require RS232, RS422 (RS449/EIA530), and V.35 connectivity.
The AMC335 is fully supported by NexusWare, the company's CGL 4.0 Registered Linux OS and development environment, as well as a complete set of installable WAN communications protocols.
"The AMC335 and our suite of NexusWare WAN protocols including Radar Receiver/SBSI, HDLC, X.25, TADIL-B, Asynchronous Data Transfer, and Frame Relay, are compatible with operating systems that include Linux, Windows, or Solaris", says Steven Wigent, Senior Product Manager for Performance Technologies.
"This allows us to provide design teams with another powerful AMC-based building block for their applications requiring a serial-based, I/O communications module".
