FPC402 Overview
The FPC402 quad port controller serves as a lowspeed signal aggregator for mon 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). Multiple FPC402s can be used in high-port-count applications with one mon control interface to the host.
FPC402 Key Features
- Control Signal Management and I2C Aggregation Across Four Ports
- bine 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 plexity 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 Features for Port Status Indication, Including Programmable Blinking and Dimming
- Customizable Interrupt Events
- Separate Host-Side I/O Voltage: 1.8 V to 3.3 V
