TMS320C5/6xxx Multi-Platform Daughter Board
SignalStrip FPGA Carrier Board
AED400 - Xilinx Spartan 3 200-1000
See SIGNALWARE's Home Page or Customer Reply Form for further assistance.
The SIGNALWARE SignalStrip FPGA Carrier, AED400, provides space to mount SignalStrip Units, a Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA, and an interface to mount directly on the Texas Instruments 5xxx and 6xxx DSP Starter Kits (DSK).
The AED400 can act as a TMS320 Multi-platform Daughter Card stacked directly on a DSK with other AED series daughter cards or daughter cards from other vendors. (A maximum stack depth of 3 cards is recommended.) Alternately the AED400 can be mounted on a power supply card to operate as a self-contained Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Spartan 3 based DSP system. The Xilinx Micro-Blaze processor may be employed in the FPGA to allow C programming of the DSP system.
The interface to the DSK from the FPGA uses the EMIF connection. The AED400 supports asynchronous data transfer up to the speed that any DSK supports. The AED400 also supports synchronous transfers up to 125 MHz on those DSKs that can support the mode (64xx).
Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) is used to connect different combinations of SignalStrip Units (SSU) to the AED400. SSU are available with A/Ds and D/As in 4 sizes of 2, 3, 4, and 6 units. A total of 12 units may be mounted on the AED400 Signal Strip mounting area. Combining different SignalStrip Units provides analog interfaces tailored to the needs of many different DSP applications.
