With the MSMSF 104+ PC/104plus compatible board, digital-logic presents a highly integrated peripheral board with two StarFabric interfaces.
The new 32-bit PCI bus board is based on the StarGen SG2010 controller, a PCI bridge chip, that transmits the parallel PCI data into a serial format for the data communication via StarFabric. The MSMSF104+ works with all common PC/104plus CPU boards and provides a data rate of up to 2,5 Gbps via two off-the-shelf RJ45 cables.
StarFabric is a fully transparent serial PCI bus extension that expands the capability of the Backplane bus outside of a computer casing over a length of up to 10 m. The fast transmission technology is based on a switched network (Fabric) of serial interconnections and a bridge between the parallel PCI bus and this network. As StarFabric uses the PCI bus alternatively either as transparent or non-transparent bridge to the network, the PCI software and driver may be used unchanged.
With the help of StarFabric switches, up to 1000 network nodes can communicate with each other and it is possible to build clusters by linking several CPU units to a network. In addition, StarFabric is remarkable for its hot-plug capability and its DOS and Windows software compatibility.
Digital-Logic's StarFabric periphery board measures 90 x 96 x 15 mm, requires a 5 V/250 mA supply, and operates within -25 to +70°C.
