- Four independant point-to-point data streams to the host
The SFM uses highly integrated FPGA technology to provide 1, 2 or 4 channels of fast, low latency point-to-point ANSI/VITA 17.1-2003 serial FPDP in an XMC/PMC module. Each independent channel supports the standard sustained serial FPDP data rates of 1.0625 Gbps (105 Mbytes/s), 2.125 Gbps (210 Mbytes/s) and 2.5 Gbps (247 Mbytes/s) through front panel fiber optic transceivers. Each channel may be operated as a serial FPDP transmitter or receiver. Smooth dataflow is ensured using a 256 Mbytes pool of DDR2 SDRAM to provide each datastream with 64 Mbytes of FIFO buffering.
An FPGA based PCI Express x4 core provides the module with a host interface through the XMC connector. Each PCI Express lane supports data rates of 2.5 Gbps, bidirectionally.
Applications
The module is ideal for point-to-point or broadcast communications between remote sensor arrays and processing systems in applications such as:
- Radar / sonar
- In-flight / shipboard systems
- Electronic warfare / SIGINT / ELINT / surveillance
- Real-time imaging / inspection / machine vision
- Medical imaging space
