SMT398

NOT FOR NEW DESIGNS

FPGA Module, Xilinx Virtex-II ; 2MB ZBT SRAM; Sundance High-speed Bus interface


s398

The SMT398 is a BIG ‘Big-Brother’ to the SMT358 FPGA Module that Sundance designed in 1999. It has all the same benefits, and a lot more!

The latest versions of the Xilinx Virtex-II are being used to the fullest of their potentials and offers ZBT-RAM with no less than four Sundance High-speed Busses (SHB) for general purpose I/O and interface to high-speed DAQ/DSP Modules, five interModule ComPorts and an enhanced 32-bit Global Bus interface to a Carrier.

The SMT398 is available in the following options:

SMT398-1000-4-Z2  (Virtex XC2V1000-4)
SMT398-2000-4-Z2  (Virtex XC2V2000-4)
SMT398-3000-4-Z2-Q2 (Virtex XC2V3000-4 and 2MB QDR SRAM)
SMT398-6000-4-Z2-Q2 (Virtex XC2V6000-4 and 2MB QDR SRAM)

Benefits

  • Simple prototyping for hardware solutions to typical DSP algorithms
  • Scaleable and flexible system configuration
  • Higher performance than conventional DSPs
  • Expansion of memory or I/O interfaces using mezzanine cards
  • VHDL Source to module interfaces available as ‘Shareware’.
  • The SHB provides 25 I/O pins each and they are available to the user as general purpose I/O pins and uses the high-speed connector system from Samtec and use the ‘Blue Ribbon’ cables from Precision Interconnect.
