DSP104-C

This PC104 carrier can accommodate a single TIM module for accelerating computations in PC104 environments. The carrier has an interface to the ISA bus and a version with PCI interface supporting PC104+ can also be made available. By using various available TIM modules from Sundance DSP, or third parties, and using the DSP104-C carrier one can stack up extremely powerful DSP and FPGA based solutions. The carrier card can be powered from the ISA bus with 5 and 12v or it can be just provided with 5 or 12V through a floppy drive style power connector. The power management is designed to be extremely efficient to cater for applications with low power budget and it generates its own 3.3 and 5V (if not supplied). This board was originally designed for a military application for General Dynamics.

Features

• Low cost PC104, DSP/FPGA and IO card carrier for TIMs
• Efficient power management
• Conduction cooled
• ISA bus interface
• Many available IO pins from the DSP to implement different communication protocols.
• Can be used for standalone operations.
• Small footprint, makes it ideal for OEM applications.
• Provides both DSP and FPGA JTAG connections with standard Xilinx and TI connectors through small Daughter card.

Benifits

This COTS TIM carrier gives a new lease of life to low power PC104 hosts by adding the power of latest DSPs and FPGAs. Conduction cooling allows this carrier to be used in application where thermal management is an issue due to either lack of space or low power budget. The carrier is RoHS compliant and can be exported to countries where this is a requirement.
