1.3 About The IXD1110 Demo Board
The IXD1110 demo board provides a working platform for the evaluation of the IXF1110 in
1000 Mbps fiber optic applications. All ten network ports provide a 1000BASE-SX connection
through the GBIC Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules (not included).
The IXD1110 demo board contains one IXF1110 device, one SPI4-2 interface connector, ten GBIC
SFP connectors, and one plug-in CPU daughter card. The SPI4-2 interface connector allows for
loopback connection.
Note: In loopback mode, the board cannot be tested or used with other devices or equipment.
Connection can be made to an alternate SPI4-2 device or to another IXD1010 or IXD1110 demo
board utilizing a SPI4-2 connector board. In these modes, the SPI4-2 interface can be tested for
lengths greater than that in loopback mode.
The attached CPU daughter card uses the IXF1110 CPU interface to access all registers and RMON
statistics through the supplied IXF1110 software.
1.3.1 Features
The following is a list of IXD1110 demo board features and evaluation capabilities:
• Ten IEEE 802.3 compliant 1000BASE-SX MAC ports
• SPI4-2 interface
— Capable of data transfers up to 12.8 Gbps
— Supports SPI4-2 loopback mode (default)
— Can be connected to another SPI4-2 device (optional)
For example, a SPI4-2 enabled daughter card (FPGAs, bridges, etc.)
• SerDes interface with GBIC SFP modules not included
• Motorola* MCP860 32-bit CPU
— Mounted on the daughter card, which is attached to the bottom side of the demo board
(see Figure 2)
• Access to all supported registers for full evaluation
• Access to all RMON statistics registers
• Broadcast, multicast, and unicast address filtering capability
• Independent port enable/disable
• Programmable option to filter packets with errors
• Compliance with IEEE 802.3x flow control standard
