• Four E3/T3 line interfaces
• 16 ECL differential inputs/outputs
• Large Xilinx FPGA
• Two large synchronous static memory banks (PCI SS) or one memory bank up to 1 GB (PCI GS)
• LVDS External clock that can be used to synchronize the output data
• 16 independent DMA channels to host memory
• Fast transfers using a 66 MHz 32-bit PCI

Applications

• Telecommunications switching

Description

The combo is a mezzanine board for the PCI SS, PCI GS, or PCIe8 LX main board, and provides multiple telecommunication and ECL interfaces that can be used for complex, user-defined telecommunications applications. A large Xilinx Virtex™-E (PCI SS) or Virtex™-II Pro (PCI GS) FPGA and associated memory allows the user to process large amount of telecommunications serial or ECL data. The high-speed 16-channel DMA controller allows flexible access to host memory.
