XMC-6280-LF
Lead Free, RoHS compliant
Key Features
An XMC-6280 block diagram, found at the end of this manual, illustrates the
key features listed below.
•
Terminator 4 ASIC
–
A high performance purpose-built protocol
processor with a single processor data-flow pipelined architecture that
delivers up to one million connections and simultaneously supports
wire-speed, fully offloaded TCP/IP, UDP, FCoE, iSCSI and iWARP RDMA
on a single unified wire.
•
DDR3 SDRAM
–
Provides 64 Meg x 72-bit DDR3 SDRAM. The SDRAM is
linked to the ASIC device for the storage of the
ASIC’s
internal
microprocessor firmware, data buffers and connection information to
support up to 32k offloaded connections.
•
P15 High Speed Interface
–
Eight high speed serial lanes are allocated to
the XMC P15 connector. These lanes are used as an 8 lane PCIe Gen 2
interface to the T4 ASIC.
•
SFP+ High Speed Interface
–
The four high speed serial interfaces are
routed from the ASIC to four SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable) module
connectors. SFP+ provides a full-duplex 10GbE interface.
Applications
•
Data-Center Networking
o
Scale up servers and network-attached storage (NAS) systems
o
Link servers in multiple facilities to synchronize data centers
o
Consolidate local area networks (LAN), storage area networks
(SAN) and cluster networks
•
Cloud Computing
o
Virtualization features to maximize cloud scaling and utilization
