Altium has released a new daughter board aimed at high performance signal processing, FPGA-based applications.
The board hosts a member of Xilinx’s Virtex-4 device family, the XC4VSX35-10FFG668C. It is housed in a 668-ball grid array and comes complete with on-board memories for application use, and a one-wire memory device used to store board identification data.
This new daughter board complements other Xilinx device daughter boards already available from Altium. These include support for the Virtex-4 (LX), Spartan-3, Spartan-3A and Spartan-3AN devices. Together, these FPGA daughter boards in turn complement devices from other programmable device manufacturers also available from Altium. This vendor independent development environment and expanding range of daughter boards give designers options to tap the affordable, flexible power of programmable devices in both mainstream and high performance design applications.
Altium continues to release more daughter boards that plug straight into the desktop NanoBoard, giving designers more freedom to test and compare the performance of various high-performance logic applications without being tied to a particular device. This approach is complemented strongly by Altium Designer’s unified design environment, which allows designers to rapidly and interactively develop, implement, test and debug both the hardware and software of their applications.
