Critical Embedded Systems — AdvancedIO®
Systems, the leading provider of configurable 10-Gigabit Ethernet
(10GbE) connectivity for real-time embedded systems, today announced the
V1120, a dual-channel 10-GbE and the first member of the V1100 family,
the industry’s first conduction-cooled XMC
products for 10GbE connectivity and packet processing. The V1100 family
of rugged 10GbE modules address emerging requirements for open-standard,
extremely high-bandwidth networking and point-to-point connectivity in
high-performance real-time systems in harsh environments.
The V1120 uses a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA to optimize its performance and
provide the functionality and flexibility required by high-performance
real-time processing and recording applications. To accommodate large
line-rate bursts of incoming sensor data, the V1120 can buffer up to
115,000 jumbo-frame Ethernet packets in its onboard SDRAM memory.
Additional interface signals are provided to facilitate precise time
synchronization and other application-specific functionality that
requires deterministic, low latency access to the packets.
With unmatched flexibility and performance, the V1120 facilitates
stable, rapid deployment of 10GbE technology into high-performance,
real-time, sensor data flow applications such as signals intelligence,
radar and high-speed record/playback. Boasting two 10GbE interfaces in a
conduction-cooled package, the V1120 is designed for an extended
temperature range of -40oC to 85oC.
“Over the past year, customers have been
asking for a conduction-cooled version of our technology to provide
dependable 10GbE connectivity for systems operating in harsh
environments with excessive heat and no air cooling,”
said Rob Kraft, AdvancedIO Systems’ VP of
Marketing. “Our customers need the standard
interconnect advantages of 10GbE, but it’s the
advantages that our offload and streaming technology bring to real-time
10GbE that make the difference for their high-performance applications.”
V1100 is a family of rugged open-standard form factor modules connecting
real-time embedded systems to each other or to extremely high-speed
Ethernet networks. Following the widely used VITA 42.3 XMC mezzanine
module format, V1100 integrates with standard off-the-shelf platforms,
such as VXS and VPX blades, providing system developers with multiple
platform options. The V1100 family supports AdvancedIO’s
udpXG™ protocol offload and streamXG™
data streaming acceleration cores and software, specifically designed
for real-time applications. For easy integration and future software
portability, AdvancedIO’s V1100 supports a
standard sockets-based software API.
With two 10GE interfaces, the V1120 meets the needs of systems that
cannot tolerate front-panel connections. The V1120 routes the 10GbE
interfaces through Pn6, the standard secondary XMC connector. When the
V1120 is placed on a host carrier card with an XMC site, the carrier
routes the high-speed signals from Pn6 to the backplane. The V1120 uses
PCI Express® running over the primary XMC
connector, Pn5, to provide a high-bandwidth interface to the host CPU.
Upcoming members of the V1100 family will address different rugged
requirements and options.
Availability:
The first member of the V1100 family, the V1120, will be available Q4
2008. For more information, please contact sales@advancedio.com
