XMC-FPGA05F, Integrated data processing and I/O module

Overview

Incorporating quad fiber-optic transceivers with a user-programmable Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA, the XMC-FPGA05F XMC/PMC module combines data processing and I/O in a single module. The integrated data processing and I/O module can be used for a wide range of tasks including sensor I/O, data recording, and linking systems in real-time. The FPGA can be used to implement custom protocols, data encryption or network processing.

The Curtiss-Wright’s XMC-FPGA05F is designed to be a user-programmable FPGA resource and is fitted with a Xilinx Virtex-5 SX95T FPGA that is optimized for a high ratio of DSP blocks to standard logic blocks to support high-performance signal processing. The FPGA configuration can be updated and controlled by the host across the PCI/PCI-X or PCI Express (PCIe) interfaces using the flash memory to store images.

Variants of this module are available with standalone IPs such as sFPDP that do not require any FPGA development. The Integrated data processing and I/O module are available in PMC only, XMC only, or combined PMC/XMC formats. A range of environmental requirements is addressed by the XMC-FPGA05F including commercial, air-cooled rugged and conduction-cooled.
