VITA 42 XMC Keeps on Truckin’
Data. Data. Data. It seems like we can’t get enough. 28 Gbps, 56 Gbps, and 112 Gbps serial channel data rates are standard or roadmap options for semiconductor, connector and optical module manufacturers. It’s almost like you need a Bugatti Veyron or Lamborghini Murcielago to get to the drug store in under 3.0 seconds for some cold medicine. Unless you are some rich Italian playboy, you probably have a sedan, a SUV, or a regular pick-up truck to run your errands. Likewise, typical … [Read more...]
BBC R+D Leverages FMC for Audio Codec Replacement
Our friends at Xilinx recently blogged about how the BBC R+D department replaced a 32-year old small rack-mount audio codec with low-cost off-the-shelf solutions customized to fit the BBC's needs. According to Justin Mitchell, principal engineer at BBC R+D, this project occurred since the original audio codec could no longer be supported due to component aging and a lack of parts. The heart of the new system is the Xilinx Zynq SoC found on the low-cost ZedBoard development kit available from … [Read more...]
