The ATCA-1200 AMC carrier blade is more than just a hardware AMC to ATCA adaptor blade. It is a complete hardware and software solution that enables AMCs to function in an ATCA shelf. Starting from the premise that the AMCs may be “un-intelligent” I/O devices, the ATCA 1200 includes a fully managed environment for the AMC, with the inclusion of an on-board PowerQUICC™ III (PQ III) processor, a 26 or 24 port managed switch and a network timing switch to manage clock distribution to synchronous I/O interfaces such as STM-1/OC 3 and E1/T1 adaptor AMC modules. The ATCA-1200 is essentially a sub-system within the ATCA shelf.
The ATCA-1200 AMC carrier blade can be configured to support 4 x Single-Mid-Size AMCs or 2 x Double-Mid-Size AMCs, or a combination thereof.
Software is included with the blade to provision, manage applications running on the AMCs, and manage the data path on I/O AMCs.
The ATCA-1200 AMC carrier blade is available stand-alone or as a fully integrated solution in the form of:
- ATCA-7400 line card solution including one or more AMC-7201 or AMC-7202 Quad STM-1/OC-3 AMC with data path and data path control software.
- ATCA-7800 multi-processor solution including one or more AMC-8201 or AMC8201 Dual Core Freescale MPC 8641D processor AMC.
