VME/VXS I/O Processor with two PMC/XMC Sites Boasts PowerPC, FPGA and High-speed Gigabit Serial Interfaces

  • Freescale MPC8641 dual core PowerPC processor
  • Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA for custom programming and gigabit serial I/O
  • Hosts two PMC/XMC modules for flexible I/O
  • Fabric-transparent gigabit serial crossbar switch connects board resources to interfaces
  • Dual optical Fibre Channel interface for 800 MB/sec recording/playback
  • Supports PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, Fibre Channel, Xilinx Aurora and more
  • Dual gigabit Ethernet interface
  • Pentek ReadyFlow® Board Support Package 
  • Pentek GateFlow® FPGA Design Kit and Installed IP cores

The Model 4207 brings to designers extraordinary power, speed and connectivity in a single-slot solution, making it well suited for wideband, data acquisition-and-recording, real-time digital signal-processing and software-radio applications.

Model 4207 combines many standard interfaces and protocols - VXS, PMC, XMC, PCI-X, PCI Express, gigabit Ethernet, RocketIO, Serial RapidIO, Fibre Channel, Xilinx Aurora and VME64x technologies--all in one extremely flexible, single-slot solution. The crossbar switch, the two PMC/XMC sites and the user-programmable FPGA offer users the connectivity and flexibility they need to handle a tremendous range of tough applications. What's more, the on-board Fibre Channel interface makes the 4207 ideal for high-speed real-time recording at rates up to 800 MB/sec.
