New Virtex-6 VPX and CompactPCI Cards Combine Performance and Flexibility

May 13, 2011, Austin Texas, USA – 4DSP LLC announced the release of the VP680 and FC6301 Virtex-6 FPGA cards. These products, available in 3U VPX and CompactPCI form factors, offer an FPGA Mezzanine Card site that fully supports the 4DSP’s FMC series of high speed digitizers and signal generators as well as third party products compliant to the VITA 57.1 FMC standard. This I/O flexibility is further enhanced by BLAST sites with advanced memory configurability. 

Because of their visibility the FC6301 and VP680 are ideal for applications where FPGA logic and DSP resources are required, such as for RADAR, SONAR and specialized Software Defined Radio (SDR).

The VP680 and FC6301 follow on the heels of the successful FM680 where major configuration options were worked out using 4DSP’s just-in-time (JIT) process BLAST concept. This manufacturing nuance excels in providing customers with the ability to specify architectural features like memory type, added signal processors, microcontrollers, video CODECs, solid-state drives and custom circuits.

Both products have already been successfully test driven by select customers. They are fully backed by 4DSP’s engineering services program, where specific FPGA algorithmic processes are developed to meet customer’s unique needs.
