Pentek Debuts First in a Family of Virtex-7 FPGA SDR Modules for Demanding UAV, Radar…
Pentek, Inc., today introduced the first member of its high-performance Onyx' family - the Model 71760. The 4-channel, 200 MHz A/D XMC module is based on the Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA family. Pentek's Onyx modules use the same modular I/O interfaces as the popular Virtex-6 FPGA Cobalt® family, while boosting memory, logic and I/O performance. The Onyx Model 71760, for instance, is similar to the Cobalt 71660, but has twice the memory capacity and...

Selecting the Right FPGA for Your Application
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a tremendously exciting implementation platform. They are used to replace Application Specific ICs (ASICs), such as digital receivers, and programmable general purpose processors or DSPs. Even though programmable logic has been around for many years, the latest generation FPGAs are more powerful and are making their way as the right solution for many embedded applications. Each new generation...

PMC: The PCI Mezzanine Card
A standard mezzanine card design, PMC is based on the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) standard bus, which has been universally adopted for use as a high-performance local bus in Pentium-based personal computers. With its further adoption as a mezzanine expansion bus for VMEbus, VME board makers are able to leverage off the economies of scale accruing to the personal computer industry. This development also opens the...
