The PMC240 Dual Channel Gigabit Ethernet Controller is a part of a comprehensive concept
to provide CompactPCI system integrators with a complete range of Comp actPCI communications products for high speed data networks. This concept ensures a maximum de gree of system design flexibility thus allowing efficient and effective usage of available resources.
The basic function of this board is to provide applications with up to two high speed Ethernet
interfaces per module and to support system expansion as required. The major components
involved in this process are the Intel® chip s: Intel 82546EB Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller and the Intel 82545EM Single Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
Both controllers provide full support for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T, and 1000BaseSX operations. In addition to supporting the Ethernet functionality, they provide interfacing to
the PCI-bus. Variant modules are available which provide a full spectrum of integration possibilities: single channel copper to dual channel fiber optic.
The following table provides a quick overview of the PMC240 module.
The PMC240 Dual Channel Ethernet Controller is a CMC / PMC mezzanine card designed for
use with compliant carrier boards or CPU boards which support PMC modules. This module
incorporates a very flexible design which allows simple and easy integration of Ethernet functionalily to any compliant system. As such, the PMC240 is an ideal solution for a very wide variety of application requirements: from simple starting systems which must use currently
available resources to complex upgrade implementations employing newer technology.
The module itself may be equipped with either the single channel controller (Intel® 82545EM)
or the dual channel controller (Intel® 82546EB). Except for the number of channels, the functionality provided by both controllers is essentially the same. The module supports either chip
using the same board design. This concept reduces the solution expenditure while providing
maximum performance and implementation flexibility.
Network interfacing is accomplished using either CAT5 UTP cabling for 10Base-T, 100BaseTX, 1000Base-T operation, or multimode fiber optic links for 1000Base-SX operation. For copper solutions, all MAC and PHY functions are integrated into the controller chip s. Only galvanic
isolation is performed externally. For fiber optic solutions, the controller chips also provide all
MAC and PHY functions (including SERDES) except for the optical transceiver interface. This
is accomplished using an external transceiver module for each channel which also includes the
connectors to the optical links.
Host interfacing is provided by CMC / PMC compliant connectors and a single on-chip PCI interface which supports both the PCI 2.2 as well as PCI-X 1.0a specifications. Depending on
application requirements, the PMC240 provides 32 or 64 bit data addressing and 33 / 66 MHz
PCI or 66 / 133 MHz PCI-X bus operation. Whether single or dual channel operation, the controler chips represent only one electrical load to the PCI / PCI-X bus.
1.3.2Board Specific Information
Specific board components involved in the Ethernet communications and data handling process are:
•Front panel connectors (dependent on variant):
•Up to two RJ45 connectors
•Up to two Magnetics modules for galvanic isolation (RJ45 front end)
•Up to two Agilent HFBR-53A5VEM Fiber Optic Transce ivers (with built-in connectors)
•Gigabit Ethernet controllers: (either)
•One single port Intel® 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller, or
•One dual port Intel® 82546EB Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller
The PMC240 is supplied with appropriate driver software which provides software interfacing
to the carrier CPU or system master.
1.4Board Diagrams
The following diagrams provide additional information concerning board functionality and component layout.
1.4.1System Level Interfacing
Because the PMC240 may be used with either a separate carrier board or with a CPU board
which provides interfacing to a PMC module, two System Level Interfacing (SLI) diagrams have
been provided to demonstrate these implement ation possibilities. SLI Figure 1-1 demonstrates
system interfacing when used with a CPCI carrier board, and SLI Fig ure 1-2 demonstra tes the
interfacing with a CPU board which supports PMC modules.
In the case of CPU boards, the PMC module may directly be installed on the CPU board itself
or be coupled to the CPU board through an intermediate carrier board. In either event, the functional interfacing to the CPU board is not through a backplane bus.
1.4.1.1SLI with PMC Carrier Board
This implementation depends on application requirements and available system resources.
The implementation can range anywhere from a single 3U PMC carrier board to multiple 6U
dual PMC carrier boards.
This implementation primarily depends on the type of CPU board in use. As the PMC240’s system interface is based on the PCI-bus, the CPU board must support this type of interfacing in
some way. With CPU boards which are compliant with the CMC / PMC standard, the PMC240
may be directly installed in any available PMC socket. Other CPU board types may require the
use of some intermediate carrier board for interfacing to the CPU board.
An example of such a configuration is PEP Modular Computers’ VMP1 CPU board which
interfaces with the VMP1-IO1 PMC carrier board. This board itself is a type of VME mezzanine
board which interfaces directly to the VMP1 CPU board via the PCI Expansion Connector.
Application expansion capabilites using this implentation are a direct function of the type of
CPU board used and its associated hardware.

The following chapters present more detailed, board level information about the PMC240 Dual
Channel Gigabit Ethernet Controller whereby the board components and their basic
functionality are discussed in general.
2.1General Information
The PMC240 is comprised basically of the following:
•Signal conditioning: either (depends on the variant)
•Galvanic isolation for CAT5 UTP cabling, or
•Full duplex transceiver for fiber optic links
•Gigabit Ethernet controller
•Dual or single channel controller
•Integrated (on single chip):
•PCI / PCI-X interface
•MAC
•Gigabit PHY
•SERDES
•System interfaces for:
•Up to two Gigabit Ethernet channels
•One RJ45, 8-contact, female connector per channel for CAT5 UTP cabling
(CON1 and CON5 if populated)
•One SC-type fiber optic transceiver connector per channel for fiber optic linking
(CON6 and CON7 if populated)
•Depending on variant, up to two sets of four green operational status LED’s for monitoring of link status, operational mode (link speed), and channel activity
•Software
•Windows® driver from Intel®
•Linux®
•VxWorks®
2.1.1Signal Conditioning
Signal conditioning is a function of the type of network being serviced by the individual PMC240
channel. Copper cabling networks are provided with galvanic isolation whereas fiber optic links
are interfaced using SC-type fiber optic connectors with integrated transceivers for full duplex
operation.
Within the PMC240, the Gigabit Ethernet controller is responsible for providing up t o two channels of full Gigabit Ethernet MAC and PHY layer functionality and for PCI / PCI-X bus interfacing for system communications either direct with a CPU host or via a carrier board to a CPU
host or system master . In addition, there is on-chip SERDES for both Ethernet channels to service fiber optic links thus eliminating the need for a separate, external SERDES chip.
Because the design of the PMC240 allows for either of the two Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Controllers (82546EB for dual port; 82545EM for single port) to be populated, there are various configurations possible ranging from a single channel copper solution to dual channel fiber optic
solution.
2.1.3System Interfaces
The PMC240 provides interfacing capability for the following system elements:
•One or two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
•PCI / PCI-X bus interfacing
Ethernet interfacing is achieved either via the CON1(RJ45), CON5 (RJ45), CON6 (SC), or
CON7 (SC) connectors depending on the PMC240 variant in use and the type of network link:
copper or fiber optic. One of the features of the Gigabit Ethernet controller is that it can automatically detect signal polarity so there is no need for using crossover cabling for direct copper
links to a CPU board.
Interfacing to the PCI / PCI-X bus is accomplished via the CON2 (Pn3), CON3 (Pn1), and
CON4 (Pn2) CMC / PMC standard compliant connectors.
2.1.4On Board Memory
There is 1 Mbit of EEPROM memory available for storing configuration information for use by
the Gigabit Ethernet controller . This EEPROM is factory programmed, and for st andard operation implementations no changes are required. In addition, up to 512 kByte of soldered Flash
memory is available as an option for onboard storage of data or executable binary images.
2.1.5Monitor and Control
Various LED’s are available depending on the variant in use for monitoring network operation.
Basically there is always the possibility to determine if a link is available (LNK on) and if there
is activity on the link (ACT blinking). In addition, with copper links the operational mode (10,
100, 1000 Mbits) is indicated accordingly whereby when neither the 100 or 1000 LED is on the
operational mode is 10 Mbit. For fiber optic interfaces the mode is always 1000 Mbits.
2.1.6Software
The PMC240 requires operating system driver software to operated. For the PMC240 drivers
are available for Windows®, Linux®, and VxWorks®.
The following figure demonstrates the interfacing structure between the internal processing
modules of the PMC240 and other major PMC240 system components. Where PMC240 system elements have common interfacing they are grouped into a block. Interfacing common to
only one element of a block is indicated with a direct connecting line. The interfacing lines are
shown in white where they are on board and in black for board external interfacing.
The “*” (asterisk) in the figure blocks indicate that the actual implementation depends on the
system configuration and the PMC240 variant employed. As a minimum, at least one channel
of up to 1000Base-T capability is available. A maximum of two channels of the same or varying
link type can be implemented. Flash memory is always an optional feature which must be stipulated along with the variant.
Legend for Figure 2-1:
•GALV.ISOL.= galvanic isolation for copper links
•SC TRCV= SC-type transceiver for fiber optic links
As the Gigabit Ethernet controller provides automatic detection of the Ethernet standard in use
on copper links the PMC240 may be used with any mix of Ethernet networks from 10Base-T to
1000Base-T.
The Ethernet wire cabling interface is implemented using up to two 8-contact, female, RJ45
connectors. CON1 is implemented as Channel A when installed, and CON5 is implemented as
Channel B when installed. As the Gigabit Ethernet controller is able to automatically detect the

2.3.3PCI / PCI-X Interface
The PCI / PCI-X interface is CMC / PMC
compliant and is realized using three, 64contact, male connectors: CON2 (Pn3),
CON3 (Pn1), and CON4 (Pn2). The following figure and tables provide pinout information for this interface.
The Configuration EEPROM is a 1 MBit (128 kB, 64 x 16 organization) EEPROM for storing
board control relevant information for the operation of the Gigabit Ethernet controller as well as
the PCI / PCI-X interfacing to a host CPU or System Master.
2.4.2Flash Memory
The PMC240 has provision for adding up to 512 kB of optional Flash memory for additional
data storage. This memory is controlled by the Gigabit Ethernet device but is accessible from
a host CPU or System Master. As such this memory can be used for a variety of functionality
including the ability to boot a host CPU or System Master from LAN.
2.5Monitor and Control (M/C)
Monitor and Control functions are divided essentially into Pre-operation and Operation. Pre-operation M/C deals with board configuration and system requirements. Operation M/C covers d irect operator interfaces.
2.5.1Pre-Operation M/C
Pre-operation M/C is a direct function of the application and the system requirements. These
requirements dictate the module configura tion as well as the overall system integration. Overall
system integration and compliance with its requirements is beyond the scope of this manual.
2.5.2 Operation M/C
Operation M/C is a function of the PMC240 driver software and the application. Direct interaction by the operator is limited to the functionality provided by the LED’s assigned to the respective Ethernet channels. These LED’s can be used to determine the basic operational status of
a channel and if data is being transferred.
The PMC240 has been designed for easy installation. However , the following standard precautions, installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation and to preclude damage to the board or injury to personnel.
