FM430

The FM430 is a dual FPGA PMC module that provides a high bandwidth processing platform, targeted at Radar/Video functions such as FFT, FIR filters, DDC and convolution.

The FM430 uses ALTERA STRATIX® FPGA devices to implement two high-speed processing nodes. A separate FPGA is used for interfacing to the PMC connectors. The FPGAs are interconnected with high speed LVDS links for transferring data and control information between each other.

Up to 20MB of on-board memory (10MB standard) is available to the user. Configuration data for the two processing FPGAs is stored in an onboard Flash Memory that is programmable via the PCI bus.

The FM430 provides two 64-bit 66MHz PCI busses as well as two sets of 64 PMC I/Os that connect to Pn4. The two PCI busses each provide sustained data rates of up to 450 Mbytes/s to and from the module.
