BittWare has released the Hammerhead-6U-cPCI, a new 6U CompactPCI DSP board integrating eight 100 MHz Analog Devices ADSP-21160 SHARC DSPs and a 64 bit, 66 MHz PCI interface. With its distinctive balance of performance, I/O, memory, and price, the Hammerhead-6U-cPCI board can offer OEMs a superior yet cost-effective DSP solution. The newest addition to BittWare's Hammerhead family of DSP boards, the Hammerhead-6U-cPCI is also the industry's first ADSP-21160 CompactPCI board, continuing BittWare's legacy of being first to market with SHARC DSP boards.
"Our expertise with the SHARC processor allows us to deliver highly integrated DSP board solutions while maintaining high value and performance," said Jeffry Milrod, President of BittWare. "We have designed our Hammerhead-6U-cPCI to be balanced and flexible, providing our customers with a building block for a wide range of embedded DSP applications."
The Hammerhead-6U-cPCI's innovative architecture combines ADSP-21160 processing power with a 64 bit 66 MHz PCI interface, expansive memory options, a variety of I/O interfaces, and BittWare's SharcFIN ASIC technology. The board features two clusters of four ADSP-21160 SHARC DSPs, each providing 600 Mflops of processing power for a total of 4800 Mflops. It also supports up to 3184 MB/s of external I/O bandwidth, which is available via 16 external link ports, two 64 bit 66 MHz PMC+ interfaces, and a 64 bit 66 MHz cPCI interface. Other I/O interfaces on the board include two RS232 ports, a JTAG emulation interface, and two TDM serial ports. For memory options, the board incorporates up to three 64-512 MB banks of SDRAM (one per cluster and one shared) and two 2 MB banks of Flash memory.
Providing the backbone of the Hammerhead-6U-cPCI's architecture are two SharcFIN ASICs. The SharcFIN ASICs provide a comprehensive set of bus interfaces and peripherals for the ADSP-21160 DSPs and greatly simplify board-level implementation. They integrate a full-featured SDRAM controller, a full 64 bit 66 MHz master PCI interface, a peripheral bus that interfaces the DSPs to peripherals such as the RS232 UARTs and Flash, and an extensive flag and interrupt multiplexer.
A complete set of software development tools is available to support the Hammerhead-6U-cPCI. BittWare's DSP21k Toolkit allows users to easily develop application code and integrate the Hammerhead-6U-cPCI into their systems.
