PMC/XMC Module with Two 400/500 MSPS A/Ds, Two 500 MSPS DACs, Virtex-6 FPGA, 4 GB Memory and PCI/PCIe

Innovative Integration, announces the new X6-400M that integrates high speed digitizing and signal generation with signal processing on a PMC/XMC IO module with a powerful Xilinx Virtex 6 FPGA signal processing core, and high performance PCI Express/PCI host interface.

The X6-400M features two 14-bit 400 MSPS A/Ds, either AC or DC-coupled, plus two 500MSPS update rate DACs. The DAC can be configured as a single 1 GHz output channel. Receiver IF frequencies of up to 250 MHz are supported. The sample clock is from either a low-jitter PLL or external input. Multiple cards can be synchronized for sampling.

A Xilinx Virtex-6 SX315T (LX240T and SX475T options) provides a very high performance DSP core with over 2000 MACs (SX315T). The close integration of the FPGA, 4 banks of 1GB DRAM, the analog I/O and PCIe host interface enables real-time signal processing at extremely high rates.

The X6-400M power consumption is just 18W for typical operation. The module may be conduction cooled using VITA20 standard and a heat spreading plate. Available in several rugged levels for wide-temperature operation from -40 to +85C operation and 0.1 g2/Hz vibration. Conformal coating is available.

The FPGA logic can be fully customized using VHDL and MATLAB using the Frame Work Logic tool set. The MATLAB BSP supports real-time hardware-in-the-loop development using the graphical block diagram Simulink environment with Xilinx System Generator. IP cores for many wireless and DSP functions such as DDC, PSK/FSK demod, OFDM receiver, correlators and large FFT are available.

Software tools for host development include C++ libraries and drivers for Windows, Linux and VxWorks. Application examples demonstrating the module features are provided.

The X6-400M is extremely versatile, complete chassis and embedded PC solutions are available. Adapt to VPX, Cabled PCI-Express, PCI Express, 64-bit PCI, and CompactPC.

Common applications include Wireless Receiver and Transmitter, LTE, WiMAX Physical Layer, RADAR, Medical Imaging, High Speed Data Recording and Playback, and IP development.
