Texas Instruments FPC402
The FPC402 quad port controller serves as a lowspeed signal aggregator for common port types such as SFP, QSFP, Mini-SAS HD, and others. The FPC402 aggregates all low-speed control and I2C signals across four ports and presents a single easyto-use management interface to the host (I2C or SPI). The FPC402 is designed to allow placement on the bottom side of the PCB, underneath the press fit connector, to simplify routing.FEATURES
● Control Signal Management and I2C Aggregation Across Four Ports● Combine Multiple FPC402s to Control 56 Total Ports Through a Single Host Interface
● Eliminate Need for Discrete I2C Muxes, LED Drivers, and High-Pin-Count FPGA/CPLD Control Devices
● Reduce PCB Routing Complexity by Handling All Low-Speed Control Signals Close to the Port
● Selectable I2C (up to 1 MHz) or SPI (up to 10 MHz) Host Control Interface
● Automatic Prefetching of Critical, User-Specified Data From the Modules
● Broadcast Mode Write to All Ports Simultaneously Across All FPC402 Controllers
● Advanced LED
