Comparison of PMC-5565PIORC and VMIPMC-5565

The PMC-5565PIORC combines the components of the classic VMIPMC-5565 into a single FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

These components include PLX Technologies’ PCI interface device, three separate small FPGAs, a transmit FIFO and a receive FIFO.

The PMC-5565PIORC adds greater design flexibility than the legacy VMIPMC-5565 and improves performance in at least three ways.

1. the PMC-5565PIORC has improved DMA burst and PIO single read access rates over the legacy VMIPMC-5565. 2. the PMC-5565PIORC has improved DMA burst and PIO single read access rates over the legacy VMIPMC-5565.

2. The PMC-5565PIORC’s onboard SDRAM memory access bandwidth has been doubled, improving overall throughput. doubled, increasing overall throughput.

3. The PMC-5565PIORC can be field upgraded as new features are added.

The legacy VMIPMC-5565 contains a set of control registers dcs-sis.com in the PLX device and a separate set of RFM-specific control registers in the FPGA.

Since these two sets of registers are physically located in different devices, they are accessed through different memory areas.

On the other hand, the PMC-5565PIORC contains two sets of registers in the same FPGA. These two sets of registers could have been combined.

However, in order to maintain software continuity and backward compatibility, the two sets of registers are stored separately as in the classic VMIPMC-5565.

In addition, the individual bit functions within the registers (where applicable) remain compatible.

The PMC-5565PIORC does not include a second DMA engine.

As shown below, the PMC-5565PIORC has an optical transceiver and three LEDs on the front panel.

The port labeled “RX” is the receiver and the port labeled “TX” is the transmitter.The PMC-5565PIORC uses an “LC” type fiber optic cable.
