 h2. Modem modules 

 h3. NP108 module 

 This module is built around 18x Conexant/Mindspeed RL56CSMV/6 chips (data sheet see attachment:RL56CSMV_6.pdf).    Each of the chips features its own MT48LC4M16A2 RAM chip.    Internally, each of those chips contains an _ARM core_ for management, and six _Digital Data Pump_ dies. 

 Interfacing with the backplane is done via 3x Intel i960. 


 h3. h2. NP60 module 

 This module is the little brother of the NP108. It is built around 10x Conexant/Mindspeed RL56CSMV/6 chips (data sheet see attachment:RL56CSMV_6.pdf).    Each of the chips features its own MT48LC4M16A2 RAM chip.    Internally, each of those chips contains an _ARM core_ for management, and six _Digital Data Pump_ dies. 

 Interfacing with the backplane is done via 2x Intel i960. 

 h2. Trunk interface modules 

 h3. 8PRI 

 This is an 8x PRI (E1/T1) interface. 

 Each PRI interface has its own EMI / overvoltage / transforer section, followed by a Mindspeed Bt8370KPF E1/Ta transceiver (datasheet see attachment:Bt8370KPF.pdf).    The main CPU is an MPC860 PowerPC, interfaced via a PLX PCI9054 PCI bridge (datasheet see attachment:PCI9054.pdf). 

 There are also two _PMC FREEDM8 PM7366 Eight Channel Frame Engine and Datalink Manager_ (datasheet see attachment:PM7366.pdf).
