DSPBrik™ FPGA Processing Module DB1000

 
 

Features

  • Four reconfigurable 88-pin I/O ports, plus four differential clock pairs
  • Powerful 4-, 6-, or 8-million gate field programmable gate array (FPGA)
  • 66-MHz 855T PowerPC for module command, control, and configuration
  • 10/100 Base-T network interface for command, control, and reprogrammability by a remote Linux, Unix®, or Windows® PC host
  • Up to 15 processing and I/O modules can be placed in a single 3U chassis
  • 4-1/4" square form factor (connector edge to connector edge)
 

Description

Rincon's Model DB1000 is the processing member of the DSPBrik™ family. You can choose from a family of three high-end Virtex™-II Xilinx FPGAs. The on-board 66-MHz PowerPC provides control during operation, initial load, and download. The four edge-connector interfaces on the DB1000 can be programmed to suit your application. Rincon’s proprietary algorithms detect adjacent DSPBriks and their pin configurations allowing for the safe reprogramming of arrays of multiple DSPBriks. DSPBrik Input/Output (I/O) modules are available to provide various I/O formats. Digital I/O formats include four-channel Differential ECL (DECL) and four-channel LVDS digital I/O. Analog I/O formats include up to four-channel I/O via analog-to-digital converson (A/D) with precise time-tagging capability and digital-to-analog conversion (D/A) modules.
