ISI LLC, a Molex company, have released their newest PCIe board, a Co-Processor centred around the Xilinx Kintex7 FPGA, the PEX7-COP. The PEX7-COP is ideal for hosting a high pin count (HPC) FMC module for data acquisition/signal generation applications. The Innovative family of FMC modules provide Adc and Dac combinations at upto 1.25GSPS. The family includes the FMC-1000, FMC-500, FMC-310, FMC-250 and FMC-SDF. These devices provide the highest performance converters available complete with clock sources for the most demanding acquisition applications. The PEX7-COP comes with a choice of 325T2 or 410T2 Kintex7 device fitted. The FPGA is connected to DDR3-1600 64 bit wide 2GB memory, offering > 10GB/s streaming to/from the logic, which is used for decoupling the data stream between FMC site and host.
The board is ideal for :
- FPGA co-processing and acceleration
- Wireless Receivers – LTE, WiMAX, SATCOM
- RADAR, Signal Intelligence
- Medical Imaging
- High Speed Data Recording and Playback
- IP development
The board comes complete with software drivers and examples for Windows and Linux operating systems. The libraries and example apps are written in C++ and are supplied with sourcecode. Customers who wish to customise the logic in the FPGA need to purchase the Framework Logic library.
