Sankt Augustin, February, 2011
N.A.T. announces its new full-size AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) product family with an exclusive
range of processors based on miriac TM MPX modules (MicroSys PPC EXtendable modules):
the scalable and flexible product family named NAMC-MPX-Family.
It is dedicated to embedded markets such as industrial controls, automation, (tele-) communication,
defense&aerospace and medical area.
The bandwidth of the new MPX-Family covers on-board processors from Freescale®
� low-end Power QUICC II Pro MPC8349 @667MHz (NAMC-MPX-PQIIP-8349)
� mid-scale Power QUICC III MPC8548 @1.3GHz (NAMC-MPX-PQIII-8548)
� high-end single core QorIQ P1011 @533-800MHz (NAMC-MPX-QorIQ-P1011)
� high-end dual core QorIQ P2020 @1.2GHz (NAMC-MPX-QorIQ-P2020)
N.A.T. offers also an Intel® Atom Processor E600 (NAMC-MPX-Atom-E600) to satisfy the different
addictions, performance or application requirements.

The distinctive feature of the product family is the
harmonized base board which offers two Ethernet, one USB and
one RS232 interface at the front panel. At the common options
region of the AMC connector (port 0/1) are two GbE interfaces
as well as optionally FAT Pipe interfaces as PCIe, SRIO or XAUI
at port 4-7. The Fat Pipe offers four bidirectional serial lines that
can be operated either as PCIe, SRIO, or a combination of both.
It can be configured to implement either an x1 (port 4 or 8) or
an x4 PCIe interface (ports 4-7 or ports 8-11).
A further option is either two x1 (port 4 and 8) or one x4 SRIO interface(s) (port 4-7 or port 8-11). The
speed is configurable for 1.25Gb/s, 2.5Gb/s or 3.125Gb/s. For systems using PCIe and SRIO the board
can be set up to offer one x1 PCIe interface (port 4) and one SRIO interface (port 8). In this case the
speed of the SRIO interface is fixed at 2.5Gb/s.

N.A.T. especially highlights the QorIQ communication processors, the high-performance Power
Architecture® cores for applications requiring enormous processor performance, reliability, security and
quality in every connection.
This sophisticated family originates from a cooperation with MicroSys Electronics. It is the result of
combined exclusive knowledge about System-on-Module architecture by MicroSys Electronics and
comprehensive know-how about AMC and MTCA technology by N.A.T..
“Combining the most important resources like know-how and skills of two technology-driven companies
and turning these resources into market-relevant capabilities is the ideal way to satisfy customer
requirements and focus on latest market trends”, says Ina S. Schlund, Marketing&Communication
Manager at N.A.T..
Customers benefit from fast development cycles and longevity of the NAMC -MPX-Family. The new
processor family complete the product portfolio of N.A.T. providing solutions with turnkey elements as
high-performance switches and interface cards for MTCA systems.
