Overview
The DR Receiver PMC card features 16 receiver channels on one card
using the most advanced architecture for ultra-fast signal capture and
real-time processing. It integrates the latest analog chips with a 4M
Virtex-II Pro FPGA for user-code, ample memory and flexible
clocks/triggers on a 64/66 PCI mezzanine format.
High speed digital signal processing algorithms in the FPGA are
developed using MATLAB and VHDL code. The FPGA Framework logic allows
quick integration of custom signal processing into the data flow of the
module through use of component-based modular design. DSP algorithms are
rapidly designed using high-level MATLAB simulations that can be
integrated into the FPGA hardware with minimal VHDL coding.
Novel features include on-board low jitter PLL clock, Sync Burst RAM
dedicated to FPGA for fast, block-oriented processing and a direct PMC J4
DIO connection to the host card. This 64-bit J4 interface offers a very
high-rate, low latency connection to Innovative Integration's Velocia
series of DSP and FPGA compactPCI boards and this port protocol can be
reconfigured in logic to communicate with third party host cards. |
