FPGA-based embedded computing XMC data converter module for RF and microwave tasks introduced by Pentek
UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J. – Pentek Inc. in Upper Saddle River, N.J., is introducing the model 71810 data converter Switched Mezzanine Card (XMC) for demanding RF and microwave tasks like modulation-and-demodulation, encoding-and-decoding, encryption-and-decryption, and channelization of the signals between transmission and reception.
The XMC is based on the Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and has LVDS digital I/O. The model 71810 routes 38 pairs of LVDS connections from the FPGA to an 80-pin connector on the front panel.
When mounted on a compatible single board computer or other XMC carrier, the model 71810 provides a customizable I/O signal status and control interface.
The model 71810 can be populated with Kintex UltraScale FPGAs, ranging from the entry-level KU035 (with 1,700 DSP slices) to the high-performance KU115 (with 5,520 DSP slices).
The model 71810 optionally can be configured with a P14 PMC connector with 24 pairs of LVDS connections to the FPGA for custom I/O to the carrier board or backplane. An additional option for a P16 XMC connector with an 8X gigabit link to the FPGA supports serial protocols.
With the Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale FPGA, LVDS digital I/O and gigabit serial I/O, the model 71810 embedded computing module becomes an high performance off-load co-processor to fit a wide assortment of processing needs in the most demanding of applications.
