Overview

No longer available for new projects

Quixote is a 64-bit cPCI 6U board for advanced signal capture, generation and co-processing. It combines one C6416 DSP with a two- or six- million-gate Virtex-II FPGA, utilizing the best of both worlds in signal processing technology to provide extreme processing flexibility and efficiency and deliver unmatched performance. Dual 105MHz analog input/output integrate signal capture and waveform generation right on the FPGA external interface. One PMC site facilitates integration of off-the shelf or custom PMC mezzanine boards. Finally a PCI-to-StarFabric bridge offers two 2.5Gbps ports to the new PICMG2.17 switched interconnect backplane, for up to 625MBytes/sec board-to-board or chassis-to-chassis communication.

Quixote's state-of-the-art architecture provides an unparalleled level of integration on a user-friendly platform that can quickly be deployed in the most advanced systems in the fields of Software Defined Radios, Wireless IP development, Test Equipment, Signal Intelligence, High-Speed Physics and other emerging fields.
