The PMC-8260 PCI mezzanine card (PMC) module is an ideal subsystem solution that can be easily integrated into larger systems, making it a virtual "plug-and-play" component for advanced communications equipment.

Featuring the robust PowerQUICC II communication processor, the PMC-8260 is perfect for telecommunications protocols. Its high-performance features include a 64-bit memory interface, 280 MIPS PowerPC core, dedicated local bus for SRAM and an enhanced CPM-communications processor module and software selectable DS-1 interface.

PMC-8260 boards are qualified for use with SPARC and PowerPC processors on a wide range of VME and CompactPCI  applications. Together, PMC-8260 and StackWare protocols offer a single-source solution for hardware and software, minimizing development costs and time-to-market.

PMC-8260 architecture

The PMC-8260, an upgrade of the PMC/860, is a high performance member of Force Computers' family of telecom controllers.

Its E1/T1/J1 (DS-1) interfaces allow direct network connection, and its time division multiplexing (TDM) bus interface complies with and supports H.110 and optionally supports SCbus. The architecture allows non-blocking routing of time slots among the DS-1, TDM bus and PowerQUICC-2.

Target applications

PMC-8260 target applications include advanced intelligent network (AIN/IN), network convergence and wireline/wireless infrastructure applications. The PMC-8260 is easily integrated to offload a host system via MTP-2, Frame Relay or LAPD lower-level protocol processing. The controller can connect to the telecom network, as well as an internal TDM bus, to distribute data within a system.

Time slot multiplexer and TDM bus interface

The PMC-8260 has an integrated, three-port time-slot-switching matrix, which allows system developers to route any time slot among a DS-1 interface, the processor's time slot assigner and the H.110 interface.

In mode "A," time slots are switched on frame boundaries to ensure a constant relative timing relationship. Mode "B," variable delay mode, enables shorter input-to-output delays.

The H.110/SCbus interface can be configured as a master or slave clock. For synchronizing different data signals, the PMC-8260 uses an internal clock, which is user selectable and can source the clock of either DS-1 line, the H.110/SCbus interface or a local on-board oscillator. The clock is available to all I/O devices.
