Overview
The X5-GSPS is an XMC I/O module featuring two 8-bit, National
Semiconductor 1.5 GSPS ADC08D1500 A/Ds with a Virtex5 FPGA computing core,
DRAM and SRAM memory, and eight lane PCI Express host interface.
A Xilinx Virtex5 SX95T with 512 MB DDR2 DRAM and 4MB QDR-II memory
provide a very high performance DSP core for demanding applications such
as emerging wireless standards. The close integration of the analog IO,
memory and host interface with the FPGA enables real-time signal
processing at extremely high rates exceeding 300 GMACs per second.
The X5 XMC modules couple Innovative's powerful Velocia architecture
with a high performance, 8-lane PCI Express interface that provides over 1
GB/s sustained transfer rates to the host. Private links to host cards
with > 1.6 GB/s capacity using P16 are provided for system integration.
The X5 family can be fully customized using VHDL and MATLAB using the
FrameWork Logic toolset. The MATLAB BSP supports real-time
hardware-in-the-loop development using the graphical, block diagram
Simulink environment with Xilinx System Generator.
Software tools for host development include C++ libraries and drivers
for Windows and Linux. Application examples demonstrating the module
features and use are provided. |
