iSPAN 4532 PMC ATM over OC-3c/STM-1 Communications Controller
4532 Architecture
The iSPAN 4532 PMC ATM Over OC3/STM-1 Communications
Controller is a member of the Interphase line of MPC8260A-based
controllers for carrier-class telecommunications environments.
The software selectable interface for SONET OC-3c or SDH STM-1
makes the 4532 a universal interface module and enables maximum
fl exibility to support multiple international standard variants with
just one board.
The 64-bit, 66 MHz 60x data bus connects the core RISC CPU to
the 64-bit wide SDRAM memory and the local side of the Tundra
PowerSpan PCI bridge. I/O transfers across the bridge to the PCI
bus are executed at 32-bits, 33 MHz or 66 MHz. Also connected to
the 60x data bus is an 16-bit 8 MB downloadable Flash memory (4
MB of 8-bit Flash on original 4532 models) that can be used to store
boot code and operational fi rmware.
The MPC8260A CPM co-processor interfaces to the SONET/
SDH ATM framer via a master UTOPIA bus interface, which in
turn connects to the optical transceiver that connects to the
transmission line. The MPC8260A CPM performs all ATM layer
functions, including ATM layer, and up to the Common Part
Convergence Sublayer (CPCS) AAL functionality. The CPM has
separate and unimpeded access to a second block of 8 MB of
SDRAM memory, which can be used for storing virtual connection
lookup tables and traffi c descriptors.
A second slave-mode UTOPIA interface from the 8260A CPM
coprocessor is available to a carrier card via the PMC P3 connector,
and can carry ATM traffi c to and from the carrier card. In this
mode, the 4532 can be used as the front-end to an ATM switch as a
peripheral I/O card. Furthermore, the 8260A core RISC CPU can be
disabled, in which case the 4532 utilizes the CPM co-processor and
the ATM framer only to act as the physical I/O interconnect to an
ATM link.
