Embedded Computing Design

Series 1

Sundance — November 2010

Series 1

Melds FPGAs, PowerPC440, and PCI Express on the small form factor

  • Highly suited for the image processing, high-speed data acquisition, and communication arenas
  • Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs for its two versions: The SMT100 featuring 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM (good for data processing and buffering), and the SMT105, offering a mixture of memory banks in the DDR2 SDRAM and QDR2 SRAM camps to facilitate signal processing in real time
  • I/O: MicroSD/Transflash, USB 2.0 FPGA interface, fiber-optic modules, and RS-232 interfaces
  • 32-bit PCI, LVTTL I/O, SATA ports, and 1- and 4-lane PCI Express links in addition to stack-down or stack-up flavors that afford automatic detection
  • Many different IP cores are also vended to speed time to market and foster Series 1 design integration
