Geotest GX3700e |
Geotest has recently announced
the release of new, high performance PXI and PXI Express FPGA modules. The
GX3700 and GX3700e FlexDIOs use the Altera Stratix III FPGA, which
can support SerDes data rates to 1.25GHz/sec and I/O data rates to 700MHz.
Additionally, both cards include 256K x 32 of SSRAM as well as integrated DMA
capability. For applications that require high data throughput, the GX3700e
offers the ability to stream data to and from the host controller via the PXI
express' X4 interface at rates in excess of 800MB/s. The GX3700e can also be
used for peer to peer data transfer applications when combined with a
compatible PXI multi-computing controller which resides in a PXI Express
peripheral slot – providing a high performance data acquisition, generation
and analysis subsystem.
“Geotest is firmly committed to supporting both the PXI and PXI Express
platforms”, stated Loofie Gutterman, Geotest’s president. “By offering the
same high performance FGPA architecture in either PXI or PXI Express formats,
customers with an installed base of PXI chassis are not required to update
their existing systems, allowing them to take advantage of the latest FPGA
technology”.
Both the PXI and PXI express cards can accommodate additional custom
circuitry via an expansion card which does not require extra slots or
external interface boards. This approach allows users to add Geotest
expansion boards with signal conversion interfaces such as RS-422, LVDS, etc.
or optionally, users can design their own custom boards while still occupying
only a single PXI or PXIe slot. Both the GX3700 and GX3700e are supplied with
a generic expansion board which provides the user with access to the FPGA’s
I/O channels. Users can design their FPGA using Altera's free Quartus II Web
Edition tool set or for more complex designs, they can use Altera’s Quartus
II subscription edition software.
Pricing and Availability
The GX3700e and GX3700 are available now . The GX3700 is priced at $3795 USD
and the GX3700e is priced at $3995.
