Overview
M6713 is a powerful and flexible DSP + FPGA board of novel architecture
for advanced data capture and real-time control in PCI systems. Designed
around Texas Instruments' most powerful floating-point Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) for high-speed, high dynamic range signal processing, and
Xilinx�s Spartan-3 platform Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for
unlimited customization of the I/O peripherals as well as
hardware-accelerated signal processing, the M6713 adds high-speed, low
latency IO and deterministic control to PC systems in a COTS (Commercially
Off The Shelf) solution for a wide array of advanced real-time control
applications such as communication test equipment, automated industrial
test bench, SONAR/RADAR, semiconductor testing, medical instruments,
vibration/acoustics monitoring, adaptive servo and other high-speed
industrial controls. Supporting this open-architecture hardware platform,
the Pismo software tool set provides target and host libraries, practical
utilities and numerous example programs that illustrate the use of all
board peripherals at full bandwidth and greatly accelerate end-user system
development. The packet-based PCI interface provides flexible control of
the card from a host application as well as data transfer at maximum
busmaster rates. |
