Description

XPort1011 is an intelligent communications controller targeting high performance yet low cost applications. XPort1011 combines a wide array of supported serial protocols, a broad range of serial interface standards, and a flexible I/O routing structure, to pack maximum flexibility into an industry standard PCI card.

Powered by the MPC8250 (PowerQUICC II™), XPort1011 implements four serial communication ports providing a EIA-530-A compliant signal set. Supporting HDLC/SDLC, UART, Transparent and BISYNC modes, with NRZ, NRZI, FM0, FM1, Manchester and Differential Manchester encoding. Coupled with software configurable support for RS-232, RS-422, RS-423, RS-485 and MIL-STD-188-114, XPort1011 provides maximum flexibility for your application.

For solutions which require low cost but high performance, the XPort1011 is also available in configurations which provide a 7-wire signal set. This configuration implements four serial communication ports providing TXD, RXD, TXC, RXC, RTS, CTS and DCD flow control, with software configurable support for RS-232, RS-422, RS-423, and RS-485.

As a system designer, XPort1011 will help drive both cost and power consumption out your system. Because the PCI bridge is integrated on chip, XPort1011 draws up to 40% less power, and costs up to 30% less than conventional designs based on other processors.
