Hunt Engineering has extended its Heron range of modular products for digital signal processing to offer modules that use Xilinx FPGAs to offer powerful DSP processing and hugely flexible I/O.
High-gate-count FPGA module aids real-time DSP
The Heron-FPGA4 DSP module from Hunt Engineering has a Xilinx Virtex II with a choice of 3, 6 or 8 million gates.
The Heron range of DSP modules includes C6000 and Xilinx FPGA modules plus a variety of high speed I/O interfaces.
Heron-Base1 is ideal for those Heron-FPGA modules which also have I/O, such as the Heron-IO2 which has Virtex II FPGA plus analogue I/O.
Heron-FPGA and Heron-IO modules have the option of a Flash PROM to initialise the FPGA for embedded systems.
The Heron-Base1 will also accept a Heron C6000 module; these modules have the ability to boot application software from Flash ROM.
The Heron-Base1 is ideal for use in a laboratory environment or mounted inside another piece of equipment, it measures just 5.0 x 2.5in.
Heron-Base1 can be used as a low cost method of embedding a single Heron module.
For larger embedded systems the HEPC8 and HEPC9 offer the option of mounting up to four modules on a single carrier.
The availability of a wide range of C6000 and Xilinx FPGA modules combined with the ability of all module carriers in the Heron range to be used in embedded systems allows developers the greatest choice of system for their embedded applications.
Heron-Base1 has already proved to be popular in Japan where there is a high demand for small low-cost embedded systems that provide a high level of functionality.
