1.1 Description
The MIC-3665 provides dual high performance Gigabit Ethernet interface controller
port on a single-wide PMC module. Both RJ-45 and fiber interfaces are available on
different modules. The RJ-45 Ethernet network interface complies with the IEEE
802.3 for 10BaseT and 100BaseTx, and IEEE 802.3ab for 1000BaseT over category
5 twisted pair cable. Both full duplex and half duplex modes are available. The
MIC-3665 eliminates machine bottlenecks and allows easy migration from existing
Category-5 networks to Gigabit Ethernet. Featuring cost-effective and flexible
auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps performance, the MIC-3665 is designed to
automatically scale with growing networks. Another choice is Fiber SFP LC Interface
based on IEEE 802.3z for 1000Base-X which
provides dual integrated low powered
MAC/SERDES functionality. The MIC-3665 fiber module
alleviates bottlenecks and
increases uptime with Gigabit performance in multi-mode fiber-optic networks. The
fiber module also delivers high throughput while conserving CPU resources. The
MIC-3665 is able to cache up to 64 packet descriptors in a single burst for efficient
PCI bandwidth use. A large 64 Kbytes on–chip buffer maintains superior
performance as available PCI bandwidth changes. Programmable host memory
receiving buffers (256 Bytes to 16 Kbytes) and cache line size (16 Bytes to 256
Bytes) enable efficient use of PCI bandwidth as well, allowing back-to-back
transmission with minimum interface latency. It also features a 100BaseTX and
1000BaseT auto-detection CSMA/CD interface controller. It supports a number of
sophisticated features, including auto-negotiation, collision detection, link detection,
I/O is via one front panel RJ-45 connector. The module is compliant with standard
single-wide PMC IEEE P1386.1 and PCI 2.3 specifications.
