Signal-processing advanced mezzanine card

8 February 2006 Computer/Embedded Technology

BittWare, a designer and manufacturer of DSP board-level solutions based on Analog Devices' TigerSHARC technology, has released to market its new signal-processing advanced mezzanine card (AdvancedMC).

The new B2-AMC (B2AM) combines the performance of TigerSHARC with the superior logic density of Altera's Stratix II along with the benefits of AdvancedMC. This Quad ADSP-TS201 TigerSHARC board supports Universal Baseband Processing for any wireless application including WiMAX, Software Defined Radio, and Super 3G.

A full-height, single wide AMC, the B2AM is designed for use in AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA, or custom systems, and is completely hot-swappable. Using the superscalar architecture of the ADSP-TS201 TigerSHARC DSPs, the B2AM provides a 14,4 GFLOPs and 57,5 GOPS of processing power. A large Altera Stratix II FPGA implements BittWare's ATLANTiS architecture, integrating the DSP processing power with the switch fabric of choice: Serial RapidIO, PCI Express, advanced switching interconnect (ASI), GigE, or XAUI (10 GigE).

In addition the board features a variety of front and back panel I/O interfaces, an IPMI system management interface, and system synchronisation via AMC system clocks. BittWare also offers a complete suite of software development tools to simplify developing and debugging of B2AM applications.
