Parsec has announced the release of the latest addition to its range of modules, the PM430. This module makes use of FPGA technology to provide a high bandwidth processing platform, targeted at typical applications such as FFT, FIR filtering and convolution.
The PM430 uses Altera's Stratix FPGA devices to implement two high-speed processing nodes. A separate Stratix FPGA is used for interfacing to the PMC module connectors. The module provides two 32/64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI buses as well as two sets of PMC I/Os (55 lines per set). The two PCI buses simultaneously provide data rates of up to 450 MBps to and from the module.
Six 128K x 36 ZBT memories connect to each of the processing FPGAs. One 128K x 36 ZBT memory connects to the Interface FPGA. The FPGAs use high speed LVDS links for transferring data and control information between each other. High-speed clock and trigger signals connect to the interface FPGA from two front panel SMB connectors. FPGA configurations for the two processing FPGAs can be stored in onboard FLASH, which can be programmed from the PCI bus.
An example VHDL FPGA program and a utility to program onboard Flash with FPGA code are provided. The module supports both Windows 2000/XP and Linux.
Examples of application are for realtime DSP functions, FFT, embedded processors, high-speed data routing, timing generation, and vector processing.
