Sundance debuts DSP/FPGA platform for PXI Express
In conjunction with becoming a member of the PXI Systems Alliance, Sundance Multiprocessor Technology has announced that it will introduce a range of PXIe (PXI Express) products for DSP (digital signal processor) and FPGA (field-programmable gate array) multiprocessor systems. Product roll out will begin with the SMT7 Series, which comprises more than 25 modular PXIe products.
The SMT702 provides eight PXIe lanes and two channels of 3-GHz analog-to-digital conversion that can be combined to deliver 6 Gsamples/s. It also features clock circuitry, two banks of DDR2 memory, and a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA optimized for logic and serial I/O.
The SMT700 carrier board will bring FPGA acceleration to PXIe systems. The board employs a Virtex-5 LXT or SXT device, which can be configured either through the onboard flash or through the Xilinx JTAG header. It includes a direct connection to an SLB (Sundance Local Bus) mezzanine card, enabling a variety of cards to be added to a system to provide Ethernet, video in/out, analog-to-digital conversion, and digital-to-analog conversion functions.
Data from these additional cards, along with data from the SMT700’s own inputs—Gigabit Ethernet, 2.5-Gbps optical inks, and Rocket Serial Links—can be processed via the Virtex-5 or by another linked card or module. www.sundance.com.
Geotest to convert EADS tester to PXI
Geotest—Marvin Test Systems reports that it will implement the EADS Talon Instruments T964 series of digital test instruments in the PXI bus form factor. Currently, the T964, which is aimed at testing avionics and electronic equipment as well as communications products, is available in the larger VXI format.
James Mulato, president of EADS North America Test and Services, said, “Our T964 is the newest, most exciting test instrumentation product available in VXI and provides a comprehensive solution for testing today’s advanced electronic boards and systems—as well as emulating older functional test systems and digital instrumentation.” www.geotestinc.com; www.ts.eads-na.com.
