Modelware's SPI-4.2-Universal SmartBridge provides bi-directional interface and protocol translation between a SPI-4.2 interface and up to four 2.5 Gb/s or lower-speed ATM or packet interfaces. Each Universal interface is implemented as a size-efficient single logic block that can be programmed independently to operate as SPI-3, PL2, UTOPIA 3, UTOPIA 2, and their variations. The Universal SmartBridge provides valuable flexibility for designers interfacing the IXP2800 or IXP2850 network processors to one or more 2.5 Gb/s or lower-speed interfaces. In addition, the Universal interface can be software-programmed to run in any mode, which enables system designers to implement multi-protocol functionality on a single interface.
The Universal SmartBridge can be implemented in Altera's Stratix or Stratix II families.
