ICE-PIC4T
Peripheral Interconnect Component
BLOCK DIAGRAM 
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 configuarble 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/demultplexing interfaces
-
time-code processor
The IOC code is user downloadable. See the IOC
bullet for available algorithms.
