AM4024(E)
2.8 AMC Interconnection
The AM4024(E) communicates with the carrier board or the MicroTCA backplane via the AMC Card-edge
connector, which is a serial interface optimized for high-speed interconnects. The AMC Card-edge con-
nector supports a variety of fabric topologies divided into five functional groups:
» Fabric interface
» Synchronization clock interface
» System management interface
» JTAG interface
» Module power interface
The following sections provide detailed information on these interfaces.
2.8.1 Fabric Interface
The Fabric interface is the real communication path and comprises 20 high-speed ports providing
point-to-point connectivity for module-to-carrier and module-to-module implementations. The high-
speed ports are separated in three logical regions as follows:
» Common Options Region
» Fat Pipes Region
» Extended Options Region
The AM4024(E) port mapping is described below and illustrated in Figure 10.
