Specifications

BittWare’s GT-3U-VPX (GT3X) is a commercial or rugged 3U VPX board designed for demanding multi-processor based applications. The board’s hybrid processing architecture takes advantage of both FPGA and DSP technology to provide a complete solution for applications requiring flexibility and adaptability along with high-end signal processing.

The GT3X features a large Altera Stratix II GX FPGA and one cluster of four ADSP-TS201S TigerSHARC processors from Analog Devices. The board’s front panel interface supplies four channels of high-speed SerDes transceivers*, 10/100 Ethernet*, and RS-232*; and its extensive back panel interface supports PCI Express, sRIO, GigE, and 10 GigE. The GT3X can achieve simultaneous on-board and off-board data transfers at rates exceeding 2 GB/s via BittWare’s ATLANTiS FrameWork implemented in the Stratix II GX FPGA.

The board also provides a large amount of on-board memory, including 1 GB of DDR2 SDRAM and 128 MB of flash memory for booting the FPGA and DSPs.
