High-speed DMA and data processing board for specialty I/O mezzanine boards on PCI Express Bus

Features

• 221 low-voltage TTL user-programmable signals connected to mezzanine board
• Large Xilinx Virtex™-5 LXT FPGA
• Up to 8 megabytes synchronous static memory
• Up to 2 gigabytes double data rate (DDR2) 200-pin SODIMM socket
• 16 independent DMA channels to host memory
• 8-lane PCI Express with peak data DMA rates up to 1.6GB/second

Applications

Provides PCI Express DMA and data processing services to specialty I/O mezzanine boards.

Description

The PCIe8 LX connects a mezzanine board to the PCI Express (PCIe) bus. It provides DMA and target access resources. The high-speed 16-channel DMA controller allows flexible access to host memory. A large user-programmable FPGA and memory plus on-chip Power PC processors allow flexible application data processing.

The PCIe8 LX Main Board is similar to the PCI GS and PCI SS, any of which can be used as a base platform for EDT Mezzanine boards. The PCIe8 LX is a PCI Express board whereas the PCI SS and GS operate on PCI and PCI-X busses. The PCIe8 LX also has a larger, more powerful Xilinx and higher memory capacity, for more aggressive development.

A bridge board is available to connect two main boards.
