Embedded board combines DSP with FPGA

The C6713Compact employs TI's highest performance TMS320C6713 floating-point DSP, a Virtex-II FPGA and dual IEEE1394 FireWire communications ports on a small form-factor embedded board.

The C6713Compact employs TI's highest performance TMS320C6713 floating-point DSP, a Virtex-II FPGA and dual IEEE1394 FireWire communications ports on a small form-factor embedded board.

The C6713Compact is a unique, highly flexible single-board solution for developers requiring integrated DSP and FPGA resources, as both the DSP and FPGA can be programmed as the respective bus master depending on application needs.

This intrinsic flexibility offers developers a new level of DSP/FPGA integration for applications such as imaging, communications, and industrial control and inspection.

System integration is also easily achieved, as users are able to access the open micro-line bus interface for hardware expansion.

OEM developers can integrate the C6713Compact as a mezzanine resource within their own hardware environment, or add their own memory mapped peripheral hardware as vertically stacking daughter modules that are controlled and accessed by the DSP processor via its 20bit address and 32bit data buses.

Dual onboard 400Mbit/s IEEE1394 FireWire ports allow for seamless incorporation within a high bandwidth, hot-swappable FireWire network environment, ideal for interfacing with host computers, digital cameras, and I/O devices.

The C6713Compact features a TMS320C6713 floating point DSP clocked at 225MHz (up to 1800MIPS or 1350MFLOPS), a Virtex-II FPGA (250k, 500k or 1Mgates), dual 400Mbit/s IEEE1394 FireWire ports, up to 64Mbyte of 100MHz SDRAM, and 8Mbyte Flash EPROM - all in a small 120 x 67mm form factor.

C6713Compact DSP boards are available now starting at $1200 (100-off).
