Description

XPort1018 is a communications controller targeting high performance yet low cost applications. XPort1018 combines a wide array of supported serial protocols, an RS-232 serial interface, and a flexible I/O routing structure, to pack maximum flexibility into an industry standard PCI form factor.

Powered by two MPC8270’s (PowerQUICC II™), XPort1018 implements eight DTE serial communication ports, each providing an eight wire signal set (TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS, DCD, DTR, TXC, RXC). Coupled with support for HDLC/SDLC, UART, Transparent and BISYNC modes, with NRZ, NRZI, FM0, FM1, Manchester and Differential Manchester encoding, XPort1018 provides a wide range of serial options.

As a system designer, XPort1018 will help drive both cost and power consumption out your system. Because the PCI bridge is integrated on chip and MPC8270’s are linked via the 60x bus, XPort1018 draws less power, and costs less than conventional designs based on other processors that require a PCI bridge.
