MPC8548E Based Advanced Mezzanine Card
Advanced Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC or AMC) is a PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG) specification for hot-swappable, field-replaceable mezzanine cards optimized for, but not limited to, ATCA carriers in a telecom shelf.
Based on the Freescale MPC8548E PowerQUICC® III processor, the AMC board runs at 1.3GHz with a 512 MB of on-board DDR2 memory, while addressing power and heat constraints for an AMC form-factor. The highly integrated MPC8548E processor architecture improves system performance, simplifies board design, lowers power consumption, and reduces system implementation cost.

Delivering performance beyond 3065 MIPS, the reference board facilitates Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEM) to add processing power to AdvancedTCA (ATCA), MicroTCA or proprietary systems equipped with AMC expansion bays. With two Gigabit Ethernet ports in the front panel and two Gigabit Ethernet ports with x8 PCI Express on the AMC edge connector, the card provides a modular development environment for embedded applications using
PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet and Serial RapidIO.
The board's Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), which is routed to the AMC connector, enables it to be monitored and controlled through the ATCA carrier card by remote shelf management controllers. Also, the XOR acceleration in hardware supports software based
RAID systems allowing for integration of networks to storage systems. With encryption capability for ETSI implementation of the Kasumi (MISTY) algorithm (F8/F9) needed for 3G GSM voice encryption support, the 8548E is an ideal compute platform for wireless base stations. Also included in the 8548E is support for DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1/2, AES,
RSA, RNG, and ARC-4 encryption algorithms, enabling robust communications at very high speeds along with TCP/IP checksum acceleration and QoS support.
