CHAMP-FX Dual Xilinx Virtex II Pro FPGA
The CHAMP-FX harnesses the tremendous computing power of two Xilinx Virtex-II Pro™ FPGAs for digital signal processing applications such as radar, sonar and signal intelligence. The computing power of the FPGAs is complemented with more than 10GB/sec of I/O capability, implemented with an array of technologies including high-speed differential serial RocketIO™, XMC/PMC sites and StarFabric interfaces. With both large DDR SDRAM and fast DDRII SRAM memory, the FPGAs have more than 8GB/sec of memory bandwidth to service memory intensive algorithms.
The CHAMP-FX may be used in stand-alone applications, or easily integrated with CWCEC's CHAMP-AV family of PowerPC processors and StarReach I/O carriers. The entire family offers StarFabric switch fabric connectivity to support high-bandwidth communications in distributed multi-processor systems.
The CHAMP-FX is supported with the CHAMPTools-FX design kit which includes reference designs and ready-to-use VHDL modules to implement memory interfaces, DMA, PCI, RocketIO and support for the Xilinx II Pro's two internal IBM PowerPC 405 processors. The kit removes much of the risk associated with FPGA design, with modules that are designed and qualified for operation at temperature extremes where typical off the shelf IP can fail to meet timing requirements.
