AXM-A30 Acromag Analog Input Extension I/O Module

The Acromag PMC-LX40 / PMC-LX60 User-Configurable Virtex-4 FPGA Modules with Plug-In I/O use a high-performance Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA, but maintain a relatively low price point.They are optimized for high-performance logic, featuring a high logic-to-feature ratio and a high I/O-to-feature ratio Two modules let you select an FPGA to match your logic requirements.

Although there is no limit to the uses for Acromag's FPGA boards, several applications are ideal for this new technology.Typical uses include hardware simulation, communication processing, in-circuit diagnostics, military servers, and telecommunication.

I/O processing is handled on a separate mezzanine card that plugs into the FPGA base board. A variety of these external I/O cards offer an interface for your analog and digital I/O signals. Additionally, , 64 I/O lines are supported via the rear (J4) connector.

Plenty of DRAM memory is available for receipt and transfer of high-speed data from the I/O data ports on the front and rear of the board. Dual Ported SRAM memory is supplied for storage of data to be passed, via DMA transfer, to the PCI bus. One of the dual ports is attached to the FPGA and the other to the local bus.

The PCI bus interface is handled by a PLX PCI 9656 device which provides 64-bit 66MHz bus mastering with dual-channel DMA support.
