ACEX®, FLEX® Based Compact PCI -X/PCI Development Kit (6U)
32/64-bit ~ 33/66/ MHz

 
The CompactPCI SYS boards features Altera® programmable logic devices (ACEX1K100FC4841 and FLEX10K200SFC4841) that are the single points of acquisition and processing on the board. All of the data flow goes through the Altera devices, allowing maximum speed for all application processes, including data acquisition, parallel (multi-channel) processing, and PCI transfers up to 64 bits/66 MHz.

The software provided with the board includes drivers and a programming API (DLLs) for Windows 95, 98, NT, and 2000; Solaris, and others. The PCI interface core is fully parameterizable and can be used in any application that requires interfacing based on the PCI protocol. The core handles all of the required features for the bus standard. It supports and provides some unique features such as multi-function, multi-direct memory access (DMA), embedded memory controllers, and more. Most of the core capabilities can be enabled or disabled depending on design requirements, so silicon usage and performance are optimized. The core supports full speed, zero wait-states, and burst transfers in both slave and master operation.
