Pentek Announces Industry’s First VME/VXS Board with Unique Combination of PowerPC, FPGA and Multiple High-Speed Gigabit Serial Interfaces
Freescale's latest PowerPC processor, now with the AltiVec™ engine; Fabric-transparent gigabit serial crossbar switch; Support for PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, Fibre Channel, Xilinx Aurora and more; Xilinx Virtex FPGA for custom programming and gigabit serial I/O; Dual Optical Fibre Channel interface for 800 MB/sec recording/playback; Two PMC/XMC-module hosted sites for flexible I/O; VITA-41 VXS interface with dual 1.25 GB/sec 4X ports; Dual gigabit Ethernet interfaces
Upper Saddle River, NJ, March 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Pentek, Inc., one of the pioneers of VME board-level technology, today released its Model 4207, the company's flagship product for high-performance digital signal processing and data-acquisition systems. Building upon the success and wide market acceptance of Pentek’s previous processor board designs, this new board employs Freescale's MPC8641D Dual Core PowerPC AltiVec™ Processor and a Xilinx Virtex-4 FX Series FPGA.
In addition, Pentek's unique fabric-transparent crossbar switch bridges a wealth of gigabit serial resources, including the PowerPC and FPGA, two XMCs, dual VXS ports, dual Fibre Channel ports and two optical serial transceivers. Native protocols support PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, Fibre Channel and Aurora, all accommodated by the crossbar switch. Up to 4 GB of fast DDR2 SDRAM simplifies data buffering and boosts real-time signal processing.
The Model 4207 thereby brings to designers extraordinary power, speed and connectivity in a single-slot solution, making it well suited for wideband, data acquisition-and-recording, real-time digital signal-processing and software-radio applications.
