Alpha Releases Deployable ZYNQ SoC Board

3rd July 2013: Denver, CO: Alpha Data is proud to announce the launch of the ADM-XRC-7Z1, the first in a new class of products featuring the Xilinx Zynq System-on-Chip (SoC). 

The ADM-XRC-7Z1 is an XMC Mezzanine card suitable for initial development through to deployment in rugged environments.  Supporting the largest devices in the Zynq family, the ADM-XRC-7Z1 provides dedicated USB, Serial and Ethernet interfaces for the Processing System.   The Programmable Logic is served with on-board memory and flexible IO to the front and rear.  The front I/O supports the large range of Alpha Data XRM adapters for applications including:

  • Software-Defined Radio (SDR)
  • Radar and Sonar Processing
  • Image Processing
  • Machine Vision

“Xilinx Zynq is a game changer for the embedded market.  The performance of dual ARM Cortex-A9 processors, tightly coupled to over 6M logic gates with high-speed IO, allows a reduction in Size, Weight and Power that renders existing system architectures obsolete.  With the ADM-XRC-7Z1, designers can now integrate their I/O, DSP and host processing in a single mezzanine card.” – Adam Smith, CEO of Alpha Data Inc.

Availability:

The ADM-XRC-7Z1 is competitively priced and available to order immediately.  It ships with a comprehensive Software Development Kit (SDK), including example designs and software drivers.  The board is available in industrial grade and air or conduction cooled variants, making it ideal for use in a wide range of markets and applications.

Further product details and ordering options for the ADM-XRC-7Z1 are available at: http://www.alpha-data.com/products.php?product=adm-xrc-7z1&src=pr

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
