FPGAs

TechwaY & Nolam Embedded Systems join their R&D effort to design RAVEN, a flexible platform implementing four or eight sFPDP channels with receive and transmit engine for high performance data-processing.

The newest member of the Jade family of data converter XMC modules has been introduced by Pentek. The Model 71851 is based on the Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale FPGA and features two 500MHz, 12-bit A/Ds with multiband Digital Down Converters (DDCs), one Digital Up Converter (DUC) and two 800MHz 16-bit D/As.

  A manufacturer of integrated systems, embedded boards, enabling software and application-ready platforms, VadaTech, has announced the VPX599 and AMC599 ADC/DAC modules. 

A high speed mezzanine card for Intel Cyclone V FPGA boards was launched at embedded world by Inova Semiconductors. The transceiver card has been co-developed by Inova and the Intel Programmable Solutions Group, and enables engineers to easily set-up hardware for testing and system development with the APIX2 automotive video interface.

  Tanto, a universal generic platform which can be used for rapid FPGA prototyping has been created by Hitex.

  A pilot programme has been announced between Alibaba Cloud (Aliyun) and Intel for a cloud-based FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) acceleration service with the goal of enabling customers to have virtual access to powerful compute resources in the cloud to help them manage business, scientific and enterprise data application workloads more effectively.

Provider of semiconductor solutions, Microsemi, has extended its congratulations to Iridium Communications, Thales Alenia Space, SpaceX and project subcontractors on the successful launch of the first ten Iridium NEXT satellites. Iridium NEXT is Iridium’s next-gen satellite constellation, replacing and enhancing its existing network of low-Earth orbit satellites spanning the globe. The project is leveraging more than 200,000 Microsemi ...

Cadence Design Systems has announced the new Protium S1 FPGA-based prototyping platform, which incorporates implementation algorithms to boost engineering productivity. The Protium S1 platform provides front-end congruency with the Cadence Palladium Z1 Enterprise Emulation Platform, thereby delivering 80% faster design bring-up on average when compared to typical FPGA prototyping approaches.

Murata has expanded its OKD series of Digital PoL DC/DC converters by launching the 90A/162W OKDx-T/90 series from Murata Power Solutions. This is the highest current-rated product in the OKD series, which already provides solutions from 6-60A. The OKDx-T/90 series is suited for FPGA and processor applications.

The availability of Microsemi's cost-optimised PolarFire Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) product family has been announced. It delivers low power at mid-range densities with 12.7Gbps Serialiser/Deserialiser (SerDes) transceivers as well as security and reliability.
