High-speed I/O card provides four channels of A/D conversion and reconfigurable FPGA
31 May 2006
Computer/Embedded Technology
BittWare, a leading supplier of hybrid (DSP and FPGA) board-level solutions based on Altera's FPGAs and Analog Devices' TigerSHARC technology, announced at both the Embedded Systems Conference and RTS Embedded Systems 2006, the release of its Tetra-PMC+ analog-to-digital (A/D) I/O card.
The Tetra-PMC+ (TRPM) board features four high-performance wideband A/Ds running at up to 105 MHz, and an Altera Cyclone II FPGA providing A/D control, data distribution, and front-end processing capabilities. The card provides end users with a high-speed, multichannel approach to getting their real world signals into the signal processing environment.
BittWare's TRPM board is a high-speed analog input board that provides data capture for four 14-bit A/D channels running at up to 105 MHz, streaming this data directly to an Altera Cyclone II reconfigurable FPGA. The Cyclone II provides control over the A/Ds and handles the distribution of the high-speed converted data while also providing configurable pre-processing of this data, enabling digital filtering, decimation, and digital down conversion (DDC). The data can be transferred to the baseboard over the PMC interface by the Cyclone II. When attached to one of BittWare's hybrid signal processing boards, it supports BittWare's PMC+ extensions, which includes the four link ports directly connected to the Cyclone II FPGA. The board clocking can either be from the external clock or the on-board oscillator and is user-configurable.
BittWare offers software development tools that allow designers to easily develop application code and integrate the Tetra-PMC+ into their systems. For user-configured pre-processing, Altera provides a complete suite of development tools for the Cyclone II. BittWare also offers a Tetra developer's kit for the Cyclone II that includes the source for the A/Ds and the link ports.
