FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The ICE-slimPIC card is a 4-channel digital tuner or general purpose DSP processor for Laptop computers, featuring:

• One 16-bit digital input/output module site
• One Altera FLEX10K30A programmed as a 32-bit Card-Bus / PCMCIA controller (3V)
• One 40MHz SHARC 21062 for control and signal processing
• One Altera FLEX10K30A PLD for software programmable front-end bit processing
• One GrayChip GC4014 Digital Tuner for multi-channel tuning at input rates up to 64 MHz
• Apps: Same as PIC3T, but mobile

The series 3 card can be configured with two 80Mhz 8-bit A/Ds (Slimpic-A) or one standard ICE digital I/O module site (Slimpic-D).

GC4014 Digital Tuner:

One GrayChip GC4014 Digital Tuner provides digital narrow-band tuning on one or two digital input streams. The GC4014 is controlled via the SHARC data bus and outputs data to one of six SHARC link ports. The 16-bit digital input data can come from the external I/O Module ports or the SHARC link ports. This allows data that is archived on the host (disk or memory) to be processed by the tuners.

Wideband Input:

The tuner chip may be bypassed to acquire the wide-band input directly into the host if desired.  Four  link ports are dedicated to wideband input. See Diagram.
