Advance PM2383-KIT PM8368 PBC 18x2G Evaluation Kit Short Form Data Sheet OVERVIEW EVALUATION CARD SCA-2 T-CARD The PM8368 PBC 18x2G Evaluation Kit (PM2383-KIT) allows evaluation of the PM8368 PBC 18x2G device with SFP MSA compliant 1G/2G Fibre Channel optical transceivers as well as Fibre Channel disk drives via SCA-2 connectors. In addition, this kit allows for signal integrity measurements via SMA coaxial connectors. The evaluation card connects to a Host PC Card via a USB interface, with power provided from an external power supply. This card consists of four pairs of SMAs, an SCA-2 connector, a power connector, LED indications, and jumpers. It is designed to interface to the Fibre Channel disks via SMA cables. Power is provided from an external power supply. For signal integrity and eye diagram measurements, this kit may be used in conjunction with external test equipment. The built-in data generator and checker of the PM8368 PBC 18x2G may also be used. When interfacing to the disks, a Fibre Channel HBA must be used (not provided as part of this kit) to perform Arbitrated Loop initialization and AL_PA assignment. The kit consists of four circuit boards: an Evaluation Card that provides SFP sockets, SCA-2 disk sockets, and highspeed components; a Backplane Simulator Card; an SCA-2 to SMA Daughter Card; and an SCA-2 T-Card. A Windows-based GUI provides access to all hardware functions and status information. This card contains the PM8368 PBC 18x2G port bypass controller device, a USB microcontroller, clock circuitry, SCA-2 disk connectors, SFP transceiver sockets, SMA connectors, HSSDC and HSSDC2 connectors, and an FCI Metral 4000 backplane connector. The approximate dimensions of the evaluation card are 25 cm by 18 cm. BACKPLANE SIMULATOR CARD This card consists of six pairs of SMAs and an FCI Metral 4000 male connector. It is designed to mate with the FCI Metral 4000 female connector on the Evaluation Card and provides a way to verify signal integrity when high-speed serial signals are passed through various trace lengths and through FCI Metral 4000 receptacle/plug connectors. FR4 trace lengths of 10", 15," and 20" are provided on this card. The approximate dimensions of the evaluation card are 10 cm by 7.5 cm. SCA-2 TO SMA DAUGHTER CARD This card consists of four pairs of SMAs and an SCA-2 connector. It is designed to mate with any of the four SCA-2 connectors on the Evaluation Card and provides an interface to the differential signals that are routed to an SCA-2 connector. The approximate dimensions of the evaluation card are 9 cm by 4 cm. HARDWARE FEATURES • Two SFP Transceiver sockets, compatible with the SFP MSA. • Four SCA-2 connectors. • SMA interfaces for clock and serial signals. • HSSDC and HSSDC2 connectors for FC copper interface. • FCI Metral 4000 backplane connector. • LED status indicators for the PM8368 PBC 18x2G, disks, and SFP transceivers. SOFTWARE FEATURES The demonstration software supplied with the PM8368 PBC 18x2G Evaluation Kit provides a graphical user interface with support for the following major functions: • Diagnostics tools such as error monitoring and pattern generation and detection. • Direct low-level read/write access to the PM8368 PBC 18x2G via the GUI. • Status and mode indicators for the PM8368 PBC 18x2G. The approximate dimensions of the evaluation card are 9 cm by 4 cm.
