PCI Express to XMC Carrier PRO-2910

The PRO-2910 is a PCIe-based carrier card with dual XMC sites. This unique carrier card can be used within a PC-based system to interface to Spectrum FPGA, DSP, and I/O processing engines. The PRO-2910 provides a flexible data routing architecture, allowing numerous combinations of FPGA, DSP and GPP signal processing devices to support a wide range of software-defined radio (SDR) applications. 8-lane PCIe Gen1 interface to the PC motherboard Two XMC sites that support: Spectrum Solano-based XMC modules Third-party PMC modules via a PCIe-to-PCI bridge Two Solano links from each XMC site provide a data rate of up to 400 MB/s between the PRO-2910 and an XMC module Two Solano links via external connectors provide a data rate of up to 400 MB/s between two PRO-2910 boards in a system High-speed communications fabric FPGA allows data routing between XMC Solano links, external Solano links, and the external PCIe bus Benefits Provides a low cost software-defined radio (SDR) solution as part of the flexComm™ software-reconfigurable platforms Supports applications requiring high-speed, low latency, deterministic data paths Modular architecture supports multiple combinations of processing and I/O mezzanine cards Suitable for use in a Linux or Windows®* desktop environment Scalable for future system expansion
