Acromag’s VPX FPGA boards feature a user-customizable Xilinx Virtex®-5 or Spartan®-6 FPGA and a PCI Express interface. These boards allow users to develop and store their own instruction sets in the FPGA for a variety of adaptive computing applications.
Although there is no limit to the uses for Acromag’s FPGA I/O boards, several applications are ideal for this new technology. Common uses include sonar, radar, hardware simulation, automated test equipment, protocol conversion, in-circuit diagnostics, military servers, telecommunication, and digital signal processing. Typical applications for conduction-cooled models include manned and unmanned vehicles, battleground SIGINT and communications systems, deployment on tanks, or any system where ambient or forced air can’t provide adequate cooling.
Acromag offers a FPGA engineering design kit and software utilities with examples to simplify your programming and get you started quickly. A JTAG interface enables on-board VHDL simulation.
