The SIO features ultra-fast serial and parallel digital communication and real-time processing for applications such as network testing, protocol analysis and channel verification. It integrates state-of-the-art Virtex2 Pro FPGA for user-code, an optional 1GHz ‘C6416 DSP and deep, fast memory on a 64/66 PCI mezzanine format that make an ideal platform for BERT engines, protocol and channel integrity testing. Novel features include RocketIO’ based serial ports with SFP connectors compatible with off-the-shelf copper and fiber optic transceiver modules, deep DDR RAM dedicated to FPGA for ample buffering and fast block-oriented processing, and a direct PMC J4 DIO connection to the host card. This 64-bit J4 interface offers a 1.6GB/s transfer capable, low latency connection to Innovative Integration’s Velocia series of DSP and FPGA compactPCI boards and this port protocol can easily be reconfigured in logic to communicate with third party host cards.
