Announcing M6713, a short-PCI board with floating-point DSP, reconfigurable FPGA and modular I/O, ready for advanced system deployment
Bringing a new level of performance and reconfigurability to the Modular DSP Series for PCI systems, the M6713 provides extreme I/O flexibility and real-time co-processing on a short-PCI card starting at just $1850. The M6713 integrates Texas Instruments fastest floating-point DSP, the TMS320C6713® running at 300MHz, with a large user-reconfigurable Spartan-3 FPGA. The board features two Omnibus daughter card sites to host off-the-shelf and custom A/D and D/A channels, one FPDP data port and numerous practical system-level peripherals to make it a powerful deterministic controller for PCI-based systems. FPGA source code is provided for all interfaces implemented on the card "as-delivered", and serves as the starting point for custom logic development for custom I/O interfaces or hardware-assisted computation. The M6713 will deliver significant performance gain to existing M6x systems and serve as a excellent solution for today's demanding applications. The M6713 is well suited for test & measurement, industrial control, flexible data acquisition, PC-based OEM instruments and other real-time systems.
SBC6713e moves to 300MHz DSP in production
Entering volume production phase, our latest release of the Ethernet-based stand-alone controller gets a DSP speed boost from 225 to 300MHz. A user-reconfigurable FPGA, choice of analog I/O and C-friendly programming make the SBC6713e an incredibly powerful controller. Fully self-contained and capable of booting and communicating over 10/100 Ethernet, the SBC6713e is the prime choice for high-end embedded control, remote data acquisition, industrial real-time sub-systems and sophisticated OEM instrumentation.
Velocia Series cPCI DSP boards upgraded to 1GHz TMS320C6416® DSP
Both cPCI cards in the Velocia series, Quixote and Quadia, are benefiting from the latest TMS320C6416® speed upgrade from 720MHz to 1GHz . Quadia is the most powerful off-the-shelf DSP platform integrating four C6416 DSP's, two XC2VP40 Virtex-II Pro FPGA devices, two PMC sites and RocketIO connectors, delivering unprecedented computation density and IO flexibility for advanced communications, signal intelligence, SatCom, test equipment and other computationally demanding systems. Quixote combines the 6416 DSP with a XC2V6000 Virtex-II FPGA and dual 105MHz A/D and D/A to provide a tight, well-integrated Software Defined Radio on a single board.
