EP5020A

The EP5020A is a single width, full height AMC processor board featuring the high performance, next generation 64-bit Freescale QorIQ P50x0. Choose the P5020 dual core or P5010 single core e5500 PowerPC processor operating at up to 2.0GHz. 

The highly integrated multi-core processor makes the EP5020A a natural fit for combined control and data plane applications on a single board, thereby reducing system cost, thermal budget and power consumption. The EP5020A is built for a range of computationally intensive applications in wireless base stations, media gateways, enterprise network access systems, and test and measurement systems.  The high performance classic floating point unit (FPU) combined with 64-bit data transfers result in a high computational capacity that creates a powerful solution for Defense and Industrial applications.  The built-in RAID 5/6 and Data Path accelerators allow for high-reliability storage area networks (SAN), server blades and network attached storage (NAS) that feature Policy Control and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI).

The EP5020A 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 EP5020A offers extreme flexibility, while maintaining standards compliance. All versions of the board support SGMII on channel 0, compliant with AMC.2, Type E2. Channels 2 and 3 support SATA.  The fat pipe region of the AMC (channels 4 - 11) can be configured on a build basis to support combinations of 10G Ethernet XAUI, Gen 2 PCI express, and SRIO 1.3/2.1 controllers. 

Target Applications:

•     Network Attached Storage
•     Server Blades
•     Control Plane
•     Aerospace and Defense
