SMT398-VP70

The SMT398-VP provides a communications platform between a Virtex-II Pro VP70 FPGA and the on-board Double Data Rate Dual Port QDR II memory (at frequencies of up to 200MHz), Rocket IOs for high speed serial connections (capable of various high-speed serial standards), LVDS connections for high speed parallel connections and LVTTL connections and connectors.

This module can be used as the base board for many of Sundance ADC/DAC daughter cards like the SMT391.

This variety of connectors and interfaces provides a wide range of development options for designers to explore the capabilities of the comprehensive Sundance TIM modules family.

 Features

• Single width module
• Xilinx Virtex II VP70
• Two independent banks of 4-word-burst-QDR II at 200MHz (512 or 1M x 36 each)
• Two Sundance High-speed Bus (SHB) connectors with 60 I/O pins
• Six 20 MBytes/s communication ports
• Fourteen Sundance Rocket Serial Links
• SLB bus with a dual-port (2 x 16-bit differential bus) parallel interconnection link for data transfers at up to 622 MHz.
• Frequency synthesizer to allow several communication speeds through the Rocket IOs
• Differential External clock I/O
• TIM standard compatible
• 12 months warranty

Benefits

• Scalable and flexible system configuration
• Expansion of memory or I/O interfaces using mezzanine cards
• The SHB provides 60 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.
• Compatibility with a wide range of Sundance Modules
