Card combines TigerSHARC DSP with Altera FPGA

BittWare Inc. in Concord, N.H., is shipping the B2-AMC (B2AM) that combines the Analog Devices TigerSHARC digital signal processor (DSP) with the Altera Stratix II and AdvancedMC. The Quad ADSP-TS201 TigerSHARC board supports Universal Baseband Processing for wireless applications including WiMAX, Software Defined Radio, and Super 3G, bringing BittWare’s expertise in SHARC-based designs to a new platform. A full-height, single-wide AMC, the B2AM is for AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA, or custom systems and is hot-swappable. Using the superscalar architecture of the ADSP-TS201 TigerSHARC DSPs, the B2AM provides 14.4 billion floating-point operations per second and 57.5 billion operations per second of processing power. A large Altera Stratix II field programmable gate array implements BittWare’s ATLANTiS architecture, integrating the DSP processing power with switch fabrics such as Serial RapidIO, PCI Express, Advanced Switching Interconnect (ASI), GigE, or XAUI (10 GigE).
