Pentek Virtex-6 FPGA ADC / DAC Modules

Pentek Virtex-6 Cobalt Series FPGA ADC / DAC Modules

Pentek Cobalt series ADC/DAC modules expands the sampling frequency to 1GHz, while supporting key software raido functions. All Cobalt modules utilize the industry's most advanced FPGA technology --Xilinx's Virtex®-6 FPGA family --for on-board signal processing.

Key features:

•Extends A/D and D/A sampling rates to 1 GHz

•Embedded IP delivers turnkey software radio solutions

•GateFlow Design Kit speeds integration of custom IP

•FPGA device options offer scalable performance

Each module features a Xilinx Virtex-6 LXT or SXT FPGA fully connected to all data and control paths. The FPGAs contain factory-installed functions including data multiplexing, channel selection, data packing, gating, triggering, time stamping, and memory control with additional capacity for user-defined functions. The modules support a range of Virtex-6 devices, allowing customers to choose the device density that best fits their requirements.

Other Key Features:

•Synch bus for synchronizing multiple modules to increase channel count

•VCO sample clock synthesizers locked to an external system reference

•PCI Express (Gen 2) interfaces for x4 and x8

•Secondary gigabit serial interface

•Modular memory options for QDRII+ SRAM and DDR3 SDRAM

•Intelligent, chaining DMA engines

•All modules now shipping from stock

Development Support

Users can readily integrate custom FPGA code with standard factory-installed IP using Pentek's GateFlow® FPGA design kits. GateFlow kits include VHDL source files, test benches and complete documentation, and are fully compatible with the Xilinx IDS Foundation design tools.

ReadyFlow® board support packages for C-language programming include drivers, project files and example code demonstrating all features. ReadyFlow supports Windows®, Linux® and VxWorks® operating systems.
