BittWare’s GT-3U-cPCI (GT3U) is a ruggedized 3U CompactPCI board that has been designed for demanding multi-processor based applications requiring complete flexibility and adaptability. The GT3U features a large Altera Stratix II GX FPGA, one cluster of four ADSP-TS201S TigerSHARC processors from Analog Devices, a front panel interface supplying four channels of high-speed SerDes tranceivers, and a back panel interface providing RS232/RS422 and 10/100 ethernet. Simultaneous on-board and off-board data transfers can be achieved at a rate of 2 GB/s via BittWare’s ATLANTiS FrameWork implemented in the Stratix II GX FPGA. The board also provides a large amount of on-board memory including 1 GB of DDR2 SDRAM or 64 MB of QDR SDRAM, as well as 64 MB of flash memory for booting the FPGA and DSPs.
