Global distribution agreement delivers high-performance PCIe XMC modules

Mouser has announced a new distribution agreement with ISI, a Molex company. ISI’s hardware, software and FPGA IP design teams offer innovative products that facilitate faster, more intelligent systems.

The company now offers ISI PCI Express XMC modules through the agreement, including the XU-AWG, which provides two eight-lane, high-speed serial links that support PCIe Gen 3. The card offers two 16-bit Analog Devices AD9162 DAC devices with standard operation at a 5GSPS update rate. The module supports 1x to 24x interpolation with sub-nanosecond channel-to-channel synchronisation alignment. Inputs to support external clocking and triggering are offered for synchronisation over multiple modules for scalable RF channel count. A Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale XCKU060 FPGA with 4GBytes of DDR4 RAM assists the high-performance DSP core for demanding radar and wireless IF generation applications.

Also offered are the XA-160M PCI Express XMC module for high-speed stimulus-response, ultrasound, and servo-control applications. The module features two 160MSPS, 16-bit ADC inputs and two 615MSPS, 16-bit DAC outputs. The PCIe interface offers a flexible and expandable data packet system with data rates up to 1600Mbps. An array of internal and external clocking and triggering modes offers application flexibility and multi-module scalability. A Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA device supported by 256Mx16 memory provides data acquisition control, signal processing, buffering, and system interface functions. Using the FrameWork Logic toolset, the XA-160M logic can be fully customised utilising VHDL and Simulink platforms.

The ISI PCIe XMC x8 lane adapter enables a single-width XMC module to be employed in a PCI Express slot. The XMC module is compatible with VITA 42.3 and supports up to eight PCI Express lanes. The adapter is entirely transparent to PCI Express, with all PCI Express host bus signals connected directly to the XMC module.
