Memory module

Additional 2 GB SDRAM for the VHS-ADC and the VHS-DAC

The memory module offers an additional 2 GB of SDRAM to the VHS-ADC and VHS-DAC cPCI advanced development platforms. When installed on the carrier's expansion site, the carrier's eight channels (ADCs or DACs) can be recorded or played back at full rate (105 MSPS on inputs and 480 MSPS on outputs). What's more, the FPGA of the VHS-ADC/DACs can be used to preprocess data before recording it through the selected channels of the module or post-process data after playback from the module.

Highlights

• Total of 2 GB of SDRAM
• Record or play back at the maximum sampling rate from a carrier board's eight channels
• User-friendly interface and easy-to-use host API to access the memory
• Model-based design flow support

The Generic Hardware Demonstrator for MIMO Systems (GEDOMIS) hosts a real-time implementation of the IEEE 802.16e-2005 physical layer featuring a 2×2 MIMO configuration and a high 20 MHz bandwidth. The algorithms of the mobile WiMAX receiver were modeled with MATLAB, designed with custom VHDL and implemented in FPGA devices operating in real-time using Lyrtech’s VHS-ADC and SignalMaster Quad. The VHDL code was integrated to the target boards with Lyrtech's own BSDK. For details about GEDOMIS, click here.
