Pentek - Analog Software Defined Radio Cards with Virtex-7 FPGA


pentek onyx virtex-7 analog io cards
Pentek
Pentek's Virtex-7 FPGA based family of data acquisition and software radio cards offer flexible backplane fabric connections supporting maximum data rates of up to 8 GB/sec with Generation 3 PCI Express.

The modules feature high-speed ADC/DAC channels linked to an FPGA which comes preconfigured with a suite of built-in functions for data capture, synchronization, tagging and formatting, making the board an ideal turn-key interface for radar, communications or general data acquisition applications. For systems that require custom functions, IP can be developed using the Xilinx ISE Design Software and the Pentek GateFlow FPGA Design Kit, extending or even replacing the factory installed functions. The Onyx architecture now includes enhanced FPGA loading modes to simplify live reconfiguration.

  • Virtex 7 (VX330T & VX690T)
  • 4GB DDR3 SDRAM
  • PCIe (Gen 1,2 & 3) interface up to x8
  • LVDS connections to V7 FPGA for custom I/O
  • Advanced reconfigurability features
  • Multiboard analog clock synchronisation
  • Air and conduction cooled versions available
The XMC (Model 717XX) card is used as the base module and supports various form factors (PCIe, cPCI and AMC) through the use of an appropriate Pentek carrier card.

The 3U VPX module features a Generation 2 PCI Express interface (PCI Express 2.0). The PCI Express interface includes a bridge that provides PCIe lane-width negotiation for x1, x4 or x8 data transfers over the VPX backplane. The 3U VPX form factor is compact and extremely well suited for avionics, including UAVs, shipboard and airborne radar and signal intelligence applications. Compatible with VITA-46, VITA-48 and VITA-65 (OpenVPX System Specification)
