Application Information

The TCPS892 is a PICMG CPCI-S.0 R2.0 compatible 3U

module providing a four channel Ethernet 10Base-T /

100Base-TX / 1000Base-T interface.

The Intel I350 provides integrated PHYs that support 10,

100 and 1000 Mbit/s transmission rates and is equipped

with a 1 Mbit Serial Flash to support PXE and iSCSI boot.

The four Ethernet interfaces of the TCPS892 are capable

of performing an auto negotiation algorithm which allows

both link-partners to determine the best link-parameters.

The TCPS892 supports IEEE 1588/802.1AS Precision

Time Protocol (PTP).

The controller is equipped with a 128 Kbit EEPROM

storing configuration data. LEDs in the front panel indicate

the different network activities.

All ports are galvanically isolated from the Ethernet

controllers and are routed to the P3 rear I/O connector.

An accompanying CompactPCI Serial 3U Rear Board

TCPS007-TM with reconstruction filters and four RJ45

connectors is available.
