DSP board aims for leading edge imaging
Researchers at the University of Washington and IBM are using a DSP-based VME platform to help develop a practical technology for imaging the three-dimensional structure of individual molecules.
Upgraded VME board has more power and peripherals
Due to strong demand for the industry's first onboard, one-slot Fibre Channel VME board, Pentek now offers additional I/O, memory and real-time processing options.
This module is also available in a variety of form factors including PCI, 3 and 6U cPCI and a PMC conduction-cooled version.
The front end of the module accepts two +4dBm full-scale analogue RF inputs and transformer-couples them into 14bit A/D convertors running at 80 or 105MHz.
The digitised output signals pass to a Virtex-II Pro FPGA for signal processing or routing to other module resources.
