High Performance
e X3 and X5 module families feature high performance analog and digital
IO on a standard PMC module format with a exible PCI Express host in-
terface bus. Each has a powerful user-programmable FPGA computing core
that is used for data acquisition and connects the I/O to the PCI Express host
interface.
Two Product Groups
e X3 group provides an extremely cost-e ective combination of analog or
digital I/O plus a Xilinx Spartan 3 or 3A DSP user-reprogrammable FPGA
which provides a plug-and-play, yet customizable solution for common data
acquisition, waveform generation and servo/control applications.
e X5 group provides a state-of-the-art combination of the newest genera-
tion, high-density, user-reprogrammable Virtex 5 FPGA logic meticulously
integrated with ultra-high-speed analog or digital I/O to address the most de-
manding radar, wireless RF and communications applications.
e X3 Product Group
e X3 PCI Express modules are industry standard XMCe devices which
deliver performance with lower system cost and less development e ort than
custom designs. Use X3 XMCe modules in any PCI Express system or any
XMCe-compatible carrier card. Eliminate custom hardware by harnessing the
power of PCI Express and customizable FPGA.
All X3 modules have a x1 PCI Express interface delivering 180 MB data
throughput to the Host, along with the exibility of user-customizable FPGA
signal processing. Board speci c analog or digital I/O ows directly into the
user-con gurable Spartan 3 logic device. e supplied stock logic function-
ality allows the board to be used out-of-the-box as high-speed I/O board in
which the large onboard RAM is con gured as a virtual FIFO, to increase the
instantaneous load-carrying capacity of the board to eliminate data overruns/
underruns during real-time streaming.
Using the VHDL source code or MatLab board support package contained
within the optional Framework Logic so ware package, you can readily cus-
tomize the functionality of the FPGA to include real-time processing such as
FIR and IIR lters on each channel, real-time FFT processing, ultra-fast feed-
back and control loops and much more. Use of MatLab/Simulink with the
MatLab board support package opens an entirely new range of real-solution
possibilities. Importantly, this capability can be e ectively used by anyone
you need not be an FPGA or logic design maven to e ectively develop custom
logic solutions!
e X5 Product Group
e X5 module family integrates high performance I/O with a Xilinx Virtex5
FPGA computing core on 75x150 mm module (IEEE1386) with a PCI Express
interface. e Virtex5 SXT FPGA provides up to 640 DSP48 elements com-
bined with memory blocks and logic that support a complete DSP system on a
chip. QDR SRAM and DDR2 DRAM memory pools provide the FPGA with
deep, fast memory that is critical to implementing e cient signal processing
algorithms and data acquisition.
Innovative's unique Velocia architecture provides up to 1 GB/s data
streaming to the host that is exible and extensible for all types of ap-
plications. Its fast and easy to use allowing you to concentrate on your
application work because it handles all the data ow and routing. You
can freely mix high rate data streams with control and status making it
easy to adapt to your application, yet still achieve the full GB/s data rate
capabilities of the PCIe interface.
All X5 modules are architected to deliver high data throughput to the
Host, along with the exibility of user-customizable FPGA signal pro-
