Reconfigurable logic boosts DSP module family
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.
The memory can be used by the FPGA design to perform whatever storage function is required by the user's FPGA design.
Hunt's hardware interface layer VHDL takes care of the SDRAM management issues while presenting an easy to use VHDL interface to the user's VHDL.
The Heron-FPGA5 shown has a Xilinx Virtex II plus 256Mbyte SDRAM.
Other modules offer a choice of 1, 3, 6 or 8 million gates for the FPGA with a choice of 256 or 512Mbyte SDRAM capable of more than 500Mbyte/s.
This memory can be used by the FPGA design to perform whatever storage function is required by the FPGA design.
Hunt's reconfigurable DSP architecture allows multiple FPGA and/or C6000 or high-speed I/O modules to be combined in the same system to achieve the optimum configuration for real-time DSP applications.
