Application Information

The TPMC882 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 100Mbit/s transmission rates for half and full duplex operation. Each channel of the TPMC882 is capable of performing an auto negotiation algorithm which allows both link-partners to find out the best link-parameters by themselves. The TPMC882 is widely user configurable via configuration and status register access over the PCI bus.

The TPMC882-10 provides four 10/100Mbit/s network connections via front panel RJ45 connectors. The TPMC882-11 routes all four Ethernet ports to the back I/O P14 connector. The ports are galvanically isolated from the Ethernet Controller.
