GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The DXV2P-D1 is a low-cost flexible development platform designed for use as a tool in the implementation of a wide range of communications, networking, and signal processing systems.  This single board solution provides high-performance A/D and D/A converters with digital mixing and digital filtering, two immersed PowerPC processors and all the flexibility of a high-performance FPGA fabric.  Combine all this with several standard communications interfaces and you have a complete system that can be “hot” reconfigured from SRAM over Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 making this the ideal development platform for your communications or processing applications.  The mixed signal analog/digital ports have 17-bits of digital I/O plus one Global Clock and the analog signals.  The digital I/O port has 34-bits of digital I/O.

 

The Xilinx Virtex-II Pro delivers superior capabilities for high performance and high-density designs with IP, PCI, Viterbi, Reed-Solomon, Rapid I/O and other core modules making the Virtex-II Pro family ideal for telecommunications, wireless, networking, video and DSP applications.  The Virtex-II Pro incorporates two immersed PowerPC processors, 20K to 50K Logic Cells, 1 Mbit to 4 Mbits of multi-ported Block RAM, dedicated 18x18 bit Multipliers, and the full flexibility of the highest performance FPGA fabric available.  These devices also incorporate multiple digital clock management blocks with on-chip digital controlled impedance terminations providing flexible clocking.  This board uses the FF1152 package and can accept the XC2VP20 through the XC2VP50.

 

The Analog Devices AD9862 Mixed-Signal Front-End (MxFE) processor is optimized for high-performance broadband communications and signal processing applications.  The transmission section has six stages: dual 14-bit 128 MSPS DACs with programmable gain amplifiers, coarse quadrature modulation mixer, interpolations stage, fine quadrature modulation mixer, Hilbert filter and data input circuitry.  The receive section has five stages: input buffers, programmable gain amplifiers, dual 12-bit 64 MSPS ADC, decimation filter, and Hilbert filter.  Combine all of the features of the MxFE processor and the Virtex-II Pro and this platform has the components needed to develop a wide range of communications and signal processing applications.  Add to this, an RF sub-systems that connects to the V2P

mixed signal port and you have a complete development system. 

 

The DXV2P-D1 also has a 10/100 mbit Ethernet physical layer, two USB 2 ports, two RS-232 ports, six Auxiliary DACs, four Auxiliary ADCs, and a general purpose digital I/O port attached to the Virtex-II Pro device.  These general-purpose I/O interfaces provide a variety of ways to transfer data and control telemetry between the DXV2P-D1 and other processors or computers.  DSP Systems has a growing list of interface modules for the analog and digital I/O ports on the VP2.  Additionally, complete documentation is available to enable users to design interface modules to meet their specific needs.  The digital port is also compatible with an Agilent logic analyzer.

 

The on-board regulators are optimized for use with the analog systems and require only 5V input.
