The AMC123 is a best-of-class performance, very low power, high value AdvancedMC™ (AMC) compute module with the Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor, and is designed for embedded applications. As a compute module option for Performance Technologies’ IPnexus® Application-Ready Systems, which tightly integrates a MicroTCA®-based platform, other configurable AMC modules, and the NexusWare® family of Linux® software products, it meets the needs for costeffective and modular processing in a low-profile, appliance-style form factor for COTS-based telecom, wireless, as well as aerospace and defense applications. The AMC123 is ideal for control-plane and/or service related functions or for scalable clustering computing solutions.

Hardware Features
The AMC123 features the Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor that supports up to 4 GB DDR2 memory with ECC. This innovative and highly integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC) processor delivers an outstanding combination of performance, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness compared to discrete, multi-chip solutions.

Onboard flash storage for OS, application, and data is supported by one of two options (up to 16 GB):
1. SATA solid-state disk module (SDM) with a SATA II interface, allowing operating systems to boot locally
2. USB solid-state disk drive (uSSD) storage module with a USB 2.0 interface

A total of three 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports are configurable by one of two options:
1. One at the front panel and two at the AMC card edge
2. Two at the front panel and one at the AMC card edge

The front panel also features a serial console port, USB 2.0 port, and LEDs. High I/O bandwidth is supported via eight-lanes of PCI Express® and two SATA ports routed to the AMC card edge connector.
