Application Information

The TPMC382 is a PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) compatible module providing a four channel Ethernet 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX interface.

A transparent 32 bit / 66 MHz PCI-to-PCI Bridge provides access to the four Intel™ 82551IT Ethernet Controllers, which support 10 and 100 Mbit/s transmission rates for half and full duplex operation. Each channel of the TPMC382 is capable of performing an auto negotiation algorithm which allows both link-partners to find out the best link-parameters by themselves. The TPMC382 is widely user configurable via configuration and status register access over the PCI bus.

The TPMC382-10 routes all four Ethernet ports to the PMC back I/O P14 connector. The ports are galvanically isolated from the Ethernet Controller.

For First Time Users the Engineering Documentation TPMC382-ED is recommended. The Engineering Documentation includes TPMC382-DOC, schematics and data sheets.

Driver Support:

The TPMC382 is directly supported from Linux, QNX6 (Neutrino) and LynxOS.

Software Support for Windows XP/2000/NT4.0 is available from Intel at www.intel.com
