Supports subset of PCI local bus specification, revision 2.2 and the PCI-
X specification 1.0a
Supports 3.3 V only
The burst transfer rate is based on the input clock speed multiplied by
the number of bytes (8).
•
PCI - 66 = 525 MB per second
•
PCI-X - 100 = 800 MB per second
•
Bus transfer rate: 200 MB per second maximum at half-duplex and
400 MB per second maximum at full-duplex
•
Support for both FCP-SCSI and IP protocols
•
Support for point-to-point fabric connection: F-Port Fabric Login
•
Support for FCAL public loop profile: FL-Port Login
•
Support for Fibre Channel services class 2 and 3
•
Support for FCP SCSI initiator and target operation
•
Support for full-duplex operation
•
Copper interface ac coupled
Single-chip design with two completely independent 2 Gb serial Fibre
Channel ports. Each port provides:
•
RISC processor
•
Integrated serializer/deserializer
•
Receive direct memory access (DMA) sequencer
•
Frame buffer
•
Five-channel DMA controller
64-bit, 100 MHz bus-master DMA data transfers to 800 MB per second
512 KB sync burst SRAM per channel supporting parity protection
BIOS ROM 128 KB of flash memory (the flash is field programmable)
NVRAM 256 bytes, field programmable
Five-channel DMA controller for each port: transmit, receive, command,
auto-request, and auto-response
