The Leader in FPGAAccelerated Computing

Overview

The XMC-231™ FPDP and FPGA PMC/XMC is designed to meet the data acquisition and digital signal processing needs of needs of modern signal intelligence, software defined radio and radar applications.

The Virtex-5 FPGA on the XMC-231 provides a powerful engine for digital signal processing applications. This processing capability is combined with the widely used FPDP interface, providing a familiar and reliable mechanism for communicating with other hardware platforms and allowing users to integrate FPGA processing into existing and new systems.

As part of the scalable VME and XMC series of products from Nallatech, the XMC-231 is complemented by further PMC/XMC mezzanines, processing engines, and application development tools.
