TPCE636 – PCIe FPGA Card with 16-Ch Analog Input and 16-Ch Analog Output by TEWS Technologies

The TEWS Technologies TPCE636 is a half-length PCIe x4 reconfigurable FPGA module based on the Xilinx Kintex 7 FPGA — available in XC7K160T, XC7K325T, and XC7K410T options — designed for engineers who need high-speed, high-precision analog signal acquisition and generation combined with the flexibility of user-programmable FPGA logic in a PCIe form factor. The 16 ADC input channels are based on the Linear LTC2323-16 dual 16-bit differential ADC running at up to 5 Msps per channel, with analog input circuits accommodating up to ±10V per input pin (±20V differential), and all channels are factory calibrated. The 16 DAC output channels use the Analog Devices AD5547 dual 16-bit DAC, each delivering a single-ended bipolar ±10V output with factory calibration. The user FPGA is connected to a 1 GB, 32-bit wide DDR3 SDRAM bank via an internal Kintex 7 memory controller, enabling high-throughput data buffering for demanding signal processing applications. Customer-specific I/O extension or inter-board communication is supported through 64 FPGA I/Os on a rear 68-pin ERNI SMC connector (configurable as 64 single-ended LVCMOS25 or 32 differential LVDS25) and four FPGA Multi-Gigabit Transceivers on a Samtec FireFly connector. FPGA configuration is via SPI flash with Xilinx Tandem Configuration support, and in-circuit debugging is available via a JTAG header. User applications are developed with Vivado Design Suite. Software drivers are available for Linux, Windows, VxWorks, QNX, and Integrity. The TPCE636 operates from -40 to +85 °C with an MTBF of 240,000 hours and is an excellent fit for defence signal processing, industrial test and measurement, real-time control, and simulation across the Nordic and Baltic regions.
