PMC DSP/FPGA MODULE 16 Channel Baseband Processing The FlexcellTM PMC DSP module is a 16-channel bidirectional digital transceiver and baseband processor, now part of the SignalMaster line of product. It offers full flexibility in terms of channel configuration, multiple protocol definitions and real-time programmability. The module can also act as a daughter card that attaches to a FlexcellTM cPCI RF transceiver module to expand the DSP architecture, or be implemented as a stand-alone processor on a PMC carrier. The FlexcellTM PMC DSP module processes the digital IF received from or sent to its own RF mother card or another card in the system. It allows dynamic channel configuration, with selection of up to 16 digital channels of various bandwidths per channel. A smaller number of channels can be configured to support wideband applications. Reception and transmission are simultaneous on all channels. The module processes the channels using the latest DSP and FPGA. These are reconfigurable in software to meet baseband requirements for any air interface standard. Functions Processes digital signals for simultaneous reception and transmission Dynamic, software-controlled creation and configuration of up to 16 independent channels Channels can be of different bandwidths Features Cost effective system for applications requiring less channelization power on a single board 16-channel processing Real-time multiprocessing and channel reconfiguration Based on PMC standards Uses latest FPGA and DSP devices to create a flexible, reprogrammable system Built-in test facilities Technical Specifications Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Texas Instruments 1 GB TMS320C6416 DSP with integrated Viterbi and Turbo Decoder Coprocessors 8000 MIPS peak performance Texas Instruments DSP/BIOS Operating System Field-programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Xilinx Virtex II FPGA Memory Capacity 64 MB SDRAM and 512 KB DPRAM 8 MB downloadable Flash Digital Receivers 4 Intersil ISL5416 Quad DDCs 16 narrowband digital receivers Digital Transmitters 4 Intersil ISL5217 Quad DUCs 16 narrowband digital transmitters Input/Output Data access: PCI bus; supports 32 bit / 33 MHz PCI 2.2 JTAG test ports Form factor PPCI Mezzanine card (PMC) compliant (IEEE Std. 1386-2001, IEEE Std. 1386.1-2001, Processor PMC Guidelines) Maintainability Built-in test
