Introduction
This data sheet describes a board designed by RF Engines Ltd (RFEL)
to facilitate the development and testing of cores implemented in
Xilinx Virtex II FPGAs. Cores may be purchased from RFEL or produced
in-house.
Virtex II Development Board
While there are many Virtex II board designs in the market place,
the RFEL Virtex II development board has primarily been designed for
flexibility and very high memory bandwidth. This allows the development
of very complex, high speed, 'memory intensive' cores such as those
developed in the RFEL core architecture range.
Allowing a choice of Virtex II devices (from XC2V3000 to XC2V10000),
and a choice of QDR II RAM sizes and types means that the board can
be tailor-built to meet a specific application and budget.
The ability of the board to be used in rack and 'stand-alone' bench-top
environments means that it is equally well suited to both multi-board,
highly intensive signal processing applications, or as a sophisticated
piece of Lab equipment, able to execute real-time processing of very
high frequency signals.
The board can be supplied with a supporting power supply card and
companion transceiver card to allow easy transition of data on and
off of the board
