Features

The ATCA-F125 is a hub board as defined in PICMG 3.0 Revision 3.0 Advanced TCA Base
Specification
and PICMG 3.1 Revision 1.0 Specification Ethernet/Fiber Channel for AdvancedTCA
Systems
. It supports several Base and Fabric Channel Ethernet interfaces to the Zone 2
backplane. It also supports 1 Gb and 10 Gb Ethernet uplinks to the front panel and to a Rear
Transition Module (RTM) through the Zone 3 connector.

Broadcom Ethernet switches and PHYs are used for the base and fabric channels. The entire
board is managed by a Freescale P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor.

The ATCA-F125 has several optional features including a processor AMC, local storage and
Telecom clocking.
