| Macrolink’s MCCR "Romeo" 16-port Serial I/O
Communications Multiplexer is an advanced low cost high-speed controller for CompactPCI
D32 applications. It supports individual line rates up to 12.5 Mbps, with aggregate
throughput of over 30Mbps full duplex. Advanced UART technology, combined with innovative
interrupt handling makes the MCCR ideal for a variety of applications like data
acquisition, process control, and telecommunications. The MCCR is simple to use, with its
standard 32-bit Slave-only interface and available driver support for WindowsNT, VxWorks,
Solaris and Linux. The MCCR is flexible. Independent baud rates for each port and a wide
variety of I/O interfaces allows you to tailor the MCCR for your needs. In addition to
rear panel I/O, the MCCR also offers options for front panel I/O. High Performance
The MCCR utilizes 4 high-performance quad-UARTs with
built-in PCI interfaces. Their 128-byte FIFOs reduce interrupts, and therefore the load on
the host, for higher system performance and efficiency. The FIFO depth can be read by the
host computer on a per-channel basis, while the interrupts from all of the channels are
combined and presented as a single interrupt to the cPCI bus. The host can peek into the
FIFOs for each channel, and empty only those needing service. So the host spends less time
polling or dumping empty FIFOs, and more time processing the data that is actually there.
Easy to Use
The MCCR has a remarkably low parts count, which reduces
the initial unit cost and improves the MTBF, resulting in lower life cycle costs and a
lower cost of ownership. The UARTs incorporate an "Industry Standard" 16500-type
programming interface, allowing driver portability. Macrolink's Device Driver Kit provides
turnkey driver support for a number of operating systems. The binary run-time software
comes complete with source code for user configuration, test and application examples.
Mixed Electrical Interfaces
A single MCCR can be configured with any mix of RS-232,
RS-422, RS-485, MIL-STD-188C and buffered TTL in 4-line groups using our Serial Line
Conditioning (SLiC) modules. Up to 4 different line modules can be installed with up to 10
signals per line for full modem control. Serial line connections are made via the P3 and
P5 cPCI connectors for back panel access. Configurations for front panel I/O, or a
combination of front and rear I/O are also available.
Low Cost per Port
With the lowest cost per port of any serial communications controller in the cPCI
market, the MCCR delivers CompactPCI performance at a PCI price. Reliable hardware plus
off-the-shelf software support equals the best value available in high-density serial I/O
today. Macrolink's MCCR is the ideal solution for new serial controller designs, and
brings improved performance to legacy systems. |
