X6-250M

8 ch 310 MS/s 14-bit ADC & Virtex-6 FPGA

A Xilinx Virtex6 SX315T (LX240T and SX475T options) with 4 banks of 1GB DRAM provide a very high performance DSP core with over 2000 MACs (SX315T). The close integration of the analog IO, memory and host interface with the FPGA enables real-time signal processing at extremely high rates.

The X6-250M has both XMC and PCI interfaces, supporting PCI Express or older PCI systems. The PCI Express interface provides up to 2 GB/s sustained transfers rates through a x8 PCIe Gen2 interface.

System expansion is supported using secondary PCI Express or Aurora port used as a private data channel or second system bus.

The X6-250M power consumption is 18W for typical operation. The module may be conduction cooled using VITA20 standard and a heat spreading plate. Ruggedization levels for wide-temperature operation from -40 to 85C operation and 0.1 g2/Hz vibration. Conformal coating is available.

The FPGA logic can be fully customized using VHDL and Matlab and the Frame Work Logic tool set. The Matlab BSP supports real-time hardware-in-the-loop development using the graphical block diagram Simulink environment with Xilinx System Generator. IP cores for many wireless and DSP functions such as DDC, PSK/FSK demod, OFDM receiver, correlators and large FFT are available.

Software tools for host development include C libraries and drivers for Windows, Linux and VxWorks. Application examples demonstrating the module features are provided.
