Hybrid Signal Processing Board features a large Stratix II GX and four TigerSHARC processors
BittWare's GT-3U-cPCI (GT3U) is a ruggedized 3U CompactPCI board that has been designed for demanding multi-processor based applications requiring complete flexibility and adaptability. The GT3U features a large Altera Stratix II FPGA, one cluster of four ADSP-TS201S TigerSHARC processors from Analog Devices, a front panel interface supplying four channels of high-speed SerDes tranceivers, and a back panel interface providing RS232/ RS422 and 10/100 ethernet. Simultaneous on-board and off-board data transfers can be achieved at a rate of 4 GB/s via BittWare’s ATLANTiS architecture implemented in the Stratix II GX. The board also provides a large amount of on-board memory including 1 GB of DDR2 SDRAM or 64 MB of QDR SDRAM, as well as 64 MB of flash memory for booting th
e FPGA and DSPs.Features of the board include:
