The FMC-518 quad channel 500 MSPS 14-bit ADC / Analog to Digital Converter FMC/FPGA mezzanine card provides high-speed, low latency, high-performance functionality necessary for applications such as signal intelligence (SIGINT), electronic warfare (EW) and radar (including beamforming).
The CHAMP-WB 6U VPX FPGA DSP card was developed for wide-band, low latency applications that require large FPGA processing, wide input/output requirements, with minimal latency.
The CHAMP-FX4 6U OpenVPX Virtex-7 FPGA Processor card was designed to meet the needs of challenging embedded high-performance digital signal and image processing applications.
FusionXF is the FPGA toolset for Curtiss-Wright AMD FPGA-based Virtex-7/Kintex-7 family of user-programmable FPGA products.
The XCLK1 high-frequency low jitter clock generator PMC or XMC module provides up to six synchronized sample clocks for high speed I/O products such as analog to digital converters.
FMC-516 Quad 250MSPS 16b ADC FMC
The FMC-516 provides the low latency, high-performance functionality necessary for applications such as signal intelligence (SIGINT), electronic warfare (EW) and radar (including beamforming) through the density, speed and resolution of data delivered to the FPGA host through the FMC-516. The FMC (VITA 57) specification allows I/O devices to be directly coupled to a host FPGA. This makes the FMC516 an ideal digital receiver front end. On the FMC-516, the four ADC devices connect through the high bandwidth FMC connector to an FPGA-based host board which maximizes data throughput and minimizes latency.
The FMC-516, available in rugged air and conduction-cooled variations, can be synchronized with multiple FMC-516 modules to provide coherent sampling for a scalable solution. The FMC-516 supports an onboard programmable sample clock generator as well as an external reference input. Multiple FMC-516 boards can be synchronized to increase the number of input channels through the use of trigger input/output signals directly under the control of the FPGA. The FMC-516 can be used on platforms like Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions CHAMP-WB or CHAMP-FX4.
Curtiss-Wright’s FusionXF development kit includes software, HDL and utilities with examples and infrastructure for using the FMC-516 on each supported host.
