Peripheral Interconnect Component
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ICE-PIC4T is a programmable digital I/O processor combined with a powerful DSP processor and two digital tuners featuring:
- Two 16-bit digital I/O module sites, one SMB connector for external clock/synchronization
- One Altera FLEX10K30 programmed as a 32/64-bit PCI controller (3V)
- One 80MHz SHARC 21160 for control and signal processing
- One Altera FLEX10K100E PLD for software programmable front-end bit processing
- Two GC4016 Digital Receivers for up to 8 channels of tune/filter/decimate processing
All components are software configurable to support a variety of processing needs including:
- high speed data acquisition/playback of serial and/or parallel digital data
- an attached DSP processor (FFT processing power ~= 1 Alpha CPU at 233 MHz)
- digital tuning
- FM demodulation
- T1 or E1 multiplexing/demultiplexing interfaces
- time-code processor
The IOC code is user downloadable. See the IOC bullet for available algorithms.
