Mercury Computer Systems PCS1Q32H-D1 SHARC PCI Module Description

Functions

High-performance DSP computing module featuring quad ADSP-21062 SHARC processors for parallel signal processing applications. Implements PCI bus interface for host communication and data transfer. Provides inter-processor communication via shared memory and link ports. Supports real-time data acquisition, FFT processing, digital filtering, and algorithm acceleration. Includes onboard memory banks for each processor with DMA capabilities. Interfaces through standard PCI slot with software APIs for development. Commonly deployed in radar processing, sonar systems, medical imaging, and scientific computing requiring intensive floating-point calculations.

Platforms

Single-slot PCI form factor DSP accelerator card featuring quad ADSP-21060 SHARC processors operating at 40MHz with 4MB SRAM per processor. Implements shared memory architecture with dedicated link ports enabling 40MB/s inter-processor communication. Interfaces to host via 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus supporting DMA transfers. External I/O through dual 50-pin headers providing access to SHARC link ports and serial ports. Supports Windows NT/2000/XP and Linux drivers. Commonly deployed in radar signal processing, sonar systems, medical imaging reconstruction, wireless communications baseband processing, and real-time FFT/FIR filtering applications requiring parallel floating-point computation.

Applications

High-performance, real-time signal and image processing for defense and medical applications. Common uses include RADAR/SONAR beamforming and pulse compression, signals intelligence (SIGINT) for spectral analysis and demodulation, electronic countermeasures (ECM), and medical imaging modalities such as MRI and CT scan data reconstruction. Also used in industrial machine vision and scientific computing simulations requiring parallel floating-point processing.

Accessories

SHARC PCI Module requires a compatible PCI chassis or mainframe for operation. Connectors: PCI interface, standard PCI card edge connector with gold-plated contacts for high reliability; Fifty-pin headers for interfacing with external devices, providing general-purpose I/O; JTAG interface for programming and debugging, typically a 14-pin connector.

Interfaces

Requires PCI bus connection via a 64-bit, 33 MHz card-edge connector for integration with standard PCI backplanes. Features two SHARC DSPs interconnected via SHARC link ports. Provides a 68-pin VHDCI front panel connector for high-speed digital I/O interfacing with external devices. Additional 10/100 Ethernet RJ-45 interface present for control and data streaming. Equipped with rear power and ground contacts through PCI slot. Compatible with standard industrial mainframes or chassis housing PCI cards.

Specifications

PCI module equipped with SHARC DSP; designed for high-performance signal processing; interfaces via PCI bus for system integration; supports memory-mapped I/O for data acquisition and processing; requires compatible PCI slots; commonly used in applications involving digital signal processing in scientific, industrial, or defense sectors.
