PM7830 BRIC Baseband Radio Interface Controller Advance Product Brief PRODUCT OVERVIEW • Supports up to 6 serial channels running independently at CPRI line The PM7830 Baseband to Radio Interface Controller (BRIC) is a fullfeatured 6-port termination device that fully supports the CPRI specification for wireless base station interconnection. The BRIC provides integrated rate-adaptive SERDES links along with CPRI framing, mapping, switching, and combining functions. When used in conjunction with the 2-port PM7832 BRIC-2, the BRIC and BRIC-2 can be used to flexibly create scalable CPRI-compliant distributed architectures. rates from 614.4 Mbit/s to 2457.6 Mbit/s with 8B/10B-encoded data. • Supports up to 6 parallel Radio Bus Interfaces (RBIs) for output of user data. • Supports CPRI start-up sequence and link-rate auto-negotiation for both REC and RE operating modes. • Supports traffic switching at the CPRI Antenna Carrier (AxC) level. • Supports IQ summing. • Supports multiplexing and termination of control and synchronization sub-channels: PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS • Operates in all of the following Baseband-to-RF interconnect topologies: • Up to 6 Ethernet Fast C&M channels. • Up to 6 HDLC Slow C&M channels. • Measures round-trip delay on each CPRI link with an accuracy of • Local interconnect using a central combiner/distributor topology. • Local interconnect using a full mesh topology. • Remote interconnect using a point-to-point (P2P) star topology. • Remote interconnect using a tree and branch topology. • Supports serial line protection switching. • Remote interconnect using a chain topology. • Supports configuration, control, monitoring and test capability on a • Remote interconnect using a ring topology.

APPLICATIONS • Multi-channel HDLC serial interface for accessing Slow C&M channels across all links. Two of the many possible architectural implementations using the BRIC and BRIC-2 are shown below: • 16-bit microprocessor interface compatible with both Intel-like and Freescale-like processors. • Central combiner-based CPRI architecture where the BRIC is used as a termination and switching device for the interconnect of BRIC-2based REC and RE CPRI endpoints. BENEFITS • Chain-based CPRI architecture where the BRIC is used to terminate • Provides all necessary functions for implementing CPRI-based one or more chains of remotely-located RE devices. Chain, Ring, Point-to-Point architectures, and more. • Hitless protection switching, IQ summing, AxC switching & multicast functions enable single-device central switch/combiner architectures.
