PAD/NI – 200 Primary Specification
(Patent Applied For)
(Note: Product developed by ASC for Sypris Data Systems - formerly Metrum Data-Tape Inc.)

Network Interface
w 2 x 1 Gbps FC links w/optical interface
w FC AL, P-P, and Switched Fabric support
w FC Class 2 and 3 service support (optional Class 1 and intermix)
w SCSI-3 over FC (FCP) support
w Multiple logical SCSI-3 support - supports striping across RAIDS
w (PHASE II) ATM over FC (AAL5)
w Max 200 Mbytes/s transfer rate (max approx 185 Mbytes/s sustained user rate)

 User Interface
w LVDS data interface (approx 200 Mbytes/s sustained in either direction)
w Serial (RS-232/422) attached peripheral Control/Monitor Interface
w cPCI interface for peripherals
w functions as cPCI peripheral or system host
w IRIG a, b, g time-code input and output
w Voice/aux data input
w RTC/TODC input/output (for external GPS receiver, etc.)
w RTC/TODC sync input/output (for synchronizing multiple RTC/TODC)
w 10 Mhz Reference Clock input/output

Processing, Configuration and Control
w High-resolution (0.1 microsecond) deterministic Time Stamping of LVDS data (non-deterministic stamping of cPCI data)
w Precision data i/o clock measurement/clock regeneration to 100 Mhz
w Precision synchronization across multiple PAD/NIs and across multiple RAIDs/JBODs from a single PAD/NI; < 1 ns data i/o synchronization error
w 200 Mhz, 1600 MIPS, 200 Mbytes/s bursted i/o DSP for board-level control and signal processing
w Can support CCSDS/IRIG 106/107 Version 0 and Version 1 formatting/unformatting (Phase II)
w Can support variety of SP algorithms such as data decimation/interpolation/filtering, etc.
w Can support variety of cPCI peripherals including multi-channel data acquisition boards
w ON-board 1 Mbyte FLASH memory for program & application data
w Supports a full-suite of in-band OAM functions for remote provisioning, configuration, monitoring, and control of one or more PAD/NIs as well as associated input/output devices via serial control interface and cPCI interfaces

 Applications
w 70 Mhz analog (170 Mbytes/s = 1.36 Gbps) record/replay using single PAD/NI-200 and 2 x 1 Gbps RAIDs or JBODs
w 70 Mhz 12b analog (255 MBytes/s = 2.04 Gbps) record/replay using TWO PAD/NI-200 and 2 x 2 Gbps RAIDs or JBODs or 3 x 1 Gbps RAIDS or JBODs
w 16 x 4 Mhz analog or 16 x 10 Mytes/s record/replay using single PAD/NI-200 and a single cPCI peripheral card
w 64 x 1 Mhz analog or 64 x 2.5 Mbytes/s record/replay using a single PAD/NI-200 and external signal conditioner/input/output modules
