EP4080A

The EP4080A is a single width, full height AMC processor board featuring the high performance Freescale QorIQ P4080 eight core PowerPC processor operating at up to 1.5GHz. The highly integrated multi-core processor makes the EP4080A a natural fit for combined control and data plane applications on a single board, thereby reducing system cost and power consumption. With broad operating support, the EP4080A is built for a broad range of demanding applications in wireless basestations, media gateways, enterprise network access systems, test and measurement systems, and server blades.

The EP4080A can run in stand-alone mode on your desktop. For high speed point-to-point access to AMC cards, consider the EP AMC DEV chassis:

For fabric connectivity the EP4080A offers extreme flexibility, while maintaining standards compliance. All versions of the board support gigabit Ethernet on AMC channels 0 an 1, compliant with AMC.2, Type E2. The fat pipe region of the AMC (channels 4 - 11) can be configured on a build basis to support 10G Ethernet XAUI, Gen 2 PCI express, and SRIO. 

At the heart of the EP4080A is a Freescale QorIQ P4080 eight-core PowerPC processor. The P4080 is a highly integrated system-onchip (SoC) platform that includes eight e500 PowerPC cores, an integrated security engine, integrated Gen 2 PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, Gigabit Ethernet, 10G XAUI controllers, integrated DDR3 memory interface, and a pattern matching engine for packet inspection. The highly integrated SoC architecture improves system performance, increases system flexibility, lowers power consumption, and reduces overall system cost.
