CompactPCI DSP Card

Analogic Corporationmpany%> announces the CPCI-DSP-II, a dual Sharc Digital Signal Processor Board for CompactPCI. It combines two ADSP-2106x Super Harvard Architecture Computer (SHARC) floating-point DSPs designed to deliver performance of 120 MFLOPS per processor. This board provides execution of both DSPs with a peak performance rate of 240 MFLOPS and a sustained rate of 160 MFLOPS. It can be used as a standalone floating-point processor or paired with the CPCI-14-1, the 14-bit, 10 MHz analog input board.

Each SHARCDSP runs at 40 MHz and features either 2 or 4 Mbits of on-chip dual-ported SRAM, with an optional 24 Mbits of shared on-board zero-wait-state SRAM. The SHARC's 4-bus structure allows numerous operations to occur in a single 25-nanosecond instruction cycle.

Compatible with either a 5V or 3.3V PCI bus interface, the 3U form factor board features four front panel link ports that can directly connect the CPCI-DSP-II to an Analogic high-speed CPCI data acquisition system or other peripheral devices. The CPCI-DSP-II also hosts a mezzanine site designed to accommodate expansion products. On-board communication is facilitated through a 48-bit internal data bus.

The CPCI-DSP-II is designed with a 14-pin IEEE standard JTAG diagnostic connector that is compatible with commercial emulators, such as EZ-ICE, to facilitate debugging. Software support includes a Windows NT driver and Board Support Package for the 3L Diamond Real-Time Operating System. A diagnostic utility program that performs memory, DMA, and link port testing is also included. Analogic Corporationmpany%>, 360 Audubon Rd., Wakefield, MA 01880.
