VXS DSP FMC Carrier
Project description
The VXS DSP FMC Carrier is an FMC carrier that can hold two FMC cards. The FMC mezzanine slot uses a high-pin count connector (as opposed to the OHR developments Simple PCIe FMC carrier, FMC PCIe Carrier (PFC) and the VME FMC carrier.
This board is optimised for the functionality required by RF applications and will be usable with most of the FMC cards designed within the OHR project (e.g. ADC cards, Fine Delay).
Other FMC projects and the FMC standard are described in FMC Projects.
Main Features
- 2 Virtex 5 FPGA (XC5VLX110T-1FF1136)
o One dedicated to system tasks (Main)
o One fully available for the user applications (FMC)
o Intercommunication between with Wishbone and dedicated gigabit connections - 1 Analog Devices Sharc DSP (ADSP-21-369KBPZ-3A)
