Abaco Systems / Ramix PMC610 Quad 10/100BaseTX Ethernet NIC PMC, Front I/O Module

The Abaco Systems / Ramix PMC610 is a PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) offering quad 10/100BaseTX Ethernet connectivity. Designed for embedded systems, it provides four independent 10/100Mbit Ethernet ports with front panel RJ45 connectors for direct network cabling. This NIC is engineered for high-performance networking with minimal PCI overhead, featuring powerful DMA engines and deep FIFO buffers. The integration of a PCI-to-PCI bridge ensures efficient communication with the host PCI bus, which can operate at 66 MHz. The PMC610 supports full-duplex operation in both 10 and 100 Mbit modes and includes auto-negotiation capabilities for automatic configuration to the highest operating mode. Its design facilitates deterministic real-time performance, making it suitable for demanding interconnect applications. Software drivers are available for various operating systems, including VxWorks, Linux, LynxOS, and Windows NT.
