February 9, 2011 - Acromag released XMC-SLX mezzanine modules featuring an economical Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA. These XMC modules still provide plenty of computing power for custom signal processing and algorithm acceleration with the FPGA s integrated DSP, logic, and memory resources. The Spartan-6 FPGA s logic structure also leverages the premium-performance Virtex FPGA platform s architecture and system-level blocks for faster, easier and more compatible development. Acromag supports the FPGA with a high-throughput PCIe interface, generous memory, and convenient access to field I/O signals. Typical uses include hardware simulation, in-circuit diagnostics, communications, signal intelligence, and image processing. Pricing starts at $2895 with options for extra memory and extended temperature operation.
Engineers familiar with other Xilinx or Acromag FPGA cards can greatly reduce design time by capitalizing on shared resources. Many Spartan-6 system-level blocks and interface cores are derived from Virtex FPGAs for cross-platform compatibility and better integration. Additionally, the XMC-SLX s support software is very similar to the design kits for other Acromag modules.
Field I/O interfaces to the FPGA via the rear J4/P4 connector and/or with optional front mezzanine I/O extension modules. 64 I/O or 32 LVDS lines are accessible through the rear connector. Acromag s plug-in AXM mezzanine cards provide additional I/O processing capabilities. A variety of these AXM mezzanine I/O cards are available to provide front-end 14-bit 105 MHz A/D conversions or an interface for CMOS digital I/O, RS-485 differential signals, or extra LVDS I/O lines.
