DRC Virtex-4 Expansion Module
DRC Virtex-4

Features

  • A Xilinx Virtex-4 LX25 or SX35 FPGA that offers unsurpassed capabilities and high-performance logic.
  • An onboard flash PROM that simplifies booting the FPGA.
  • 1-GBps (sustained) RapidCHANNEL ports (1 RX,1 TX).
  • An array of tools that allow designing complex algorithms for the DRC Virtex-4 as block models with the popular MATLAB and Simulink programs.
  • The DRC Virtex-4 is also compatible with one of the most powerful integrated development environments on the market — ISE Foundation.
  • Optional software configurable 400-MBps FPDP-I port (2x).
  • Optional GPIO-32 port with 32-bit header directly routed to the onboard FPGA (1x).

Description

The DRC Virtex-4 is a LYRIO+ expansion module for Lyrtech LYRIO+ carrier boards such as the SignalMaster Quad Virtex-4. Mounting the DRC Virtex-4 on a LYRIO+ carrier board allows feeding or retrieving digital data to/from the carrier board at high speeds. The two 1-GBps RapidCHANNEL ports (RX/TX) of the DRC Virtex-4 also allow interconnecting several carrier boards or interfacing a carrier board with other RapidCHANNEL I/O boards such as the VHS-ADC/DAC Virtex-4 multichannel, high-speed converters cPCI boards.

The DRC Virtex-4 is, as its name implies, equipped with an onboard Virtex-4 LX25 or SX35 FPGA that allows pre-processing incoming data before it is sent to the LYRIO+ carrier board (post-processing from the carrier board is also possible). The Virtex-4 FPGA is capable of delivering up to 96 GMACS of FPGA-based DSP processing power.

The DRC Virtex-4 comes with a complete board software development kit that allows designing and testing complex algorithms. With the DRC Virtex-4 it is also possible to simultaneously design and test in a real-time environment through the board’s integration to the model-based design software tools for Simulink.

Potential Applications

When it is combined to the SignalMaster Quad Virtex-4, the DRC Virtex-4 truly enhances the following applications: FPGA/DSP based development, real-time digital signal processing, telecommunications and telephony, wireless communications, base station prototying and DSP co-processing.
