Nallatech, a leading supplier of high-performance COTS FPGA solutions, today announced their latest FPGA data processing product offering. The new DATA-V5 FPGA, memory and I/O module is compatible with Nallatech PCI Express COTS motherboards and is targeted at algorithm acceleration and signal intelligence applications. The DATA-V5 is the latest product to be introduced to Nallatech’s highly successful Embedded PCI Series of FPGA COTS solutions.
The onboard Xilinx Virtex-5 LX330T-2 user FPGA is directly coupled to multiple independent banks of DDR2 SDRAM and QDR-II SRAM memory providing up to 13GBytes/sec of sustained memory bandwidth to the FPGA. The module supports up to 1GByte of DDR2 SDRAM and 18MByte of QDR-II SRAM. Optimized memory controller IP cores and reference designs are included as part of the product deliverables along with VHDL source code and API for Windows and Linux operating systems.
The DATA-V5 is tightly integrated to the Host computer via an 8-lane PCI Express connection supporting sustained bandwidths of up to 2.38GBytes/sec. Eight high speed serial I/O links via the PCI backplate allow multiple DATA-V5 cards to be interconnected via low latency point-to-point links operating at data rates of 3.125Gbps each. These deterministic datapaths are independent of the Host operating system and an ideal way of dramatically scaling applications.
