    The NAT-MCH CLK-Module / NAT-MCH CLK-PHYS-Module can be accessed by the ColdFire MCF54452 via I²C bus. To interface the NAT-MCH HUB-Module, a SPI interface is also available. The SPI interface of the ColdFire is used for this purpose. 3.5.2 NAT-MCH HUB-Module...
  • Page 16: Ethernet Switch

    BCM5396 supports Fabric A switching according to MicroTCA.0 R1.0 and PICMG SFP.1 R1.0, serving up to 12 AMCs as well as the update channel from the second NAT-MCH in redundant environments. Also supported are two uplink ports at the front panel of the NAT-MCH BASE-Module in order to interconnect to other carriers, shelves or systems.
