3 Description

The FPC401 quad port controller serves as a lowspeed

signal aggregator for common port types such

as SFP+, QSFP+, and SAS. The FPC401 aggregates

all low-speed control and I2C signals across four

ports and presents a single easy-to-use management

interface to the host (I2C or SPI). Multiple FPC401s

can be used in high-port-count applications with one

common control interface to the host. The FPC401 is

designed to allow placement on the bottom side of

the PCB, underneath the press fit connector, to

simplify routing. This localized control of the ports’

low-speed signals cuts system BOM cost by enabling

the use of smaller IO count control devices (FPGAs,

CPLDs, MCUs) and by reducing routing layer

congestion.
