Announced as one of the industry’s first FPGA processing engines with support for the FMC/VITA 57 standard, the FPE650 VPX card integrates four Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs with two FMC I/O sites and VPX serial backplane connectivity, allowing I/O and processing capabilities in a single 6U slot. Available in air- and conduction-cooled versions, the card suits digital-signal processing applications such as electronic counter measures, signal intelligence, and electro optics. The FPGA sites support Virtex-5 SX95T, LX155T, or FX100T devices and each FPGA has four banks of memory. Two of the FPGAs interface to four 9-MB banks of QDR2 SRAM while the other two interface to two 9-MB banks of QDR2 SRAM and two 640-MB banks of DDR2 SDRAM. The FPE650 also provides backplane parallel I/O directly to two of the FPGAs. For pricing, call VMETRO INC., Houston, TX. (281) 584-0728.
