- DS5203 FPGA Board
FPGA programmable per application
- Completely user-programmable via RTI FPGA Programming Blockset1)
- Utilizes the Xilinx® System Generator (XSG) Simulink® Blockset
- Offline Simulation in Simulink
- Basic set of I/O drivers on-board, I/O extendable by piggyback modules
Application Areas
The DS5203 FPGA Board can be adapted to various tasks, so you can react flexibly to tougher requirements, for example, signal conditioning, using new interfaces, or speeding up model parts. FPGAs are especially useful for relieving the processor board of tasks such as signal preprocessing during ECU development. Running at 100 MHz, the DS5203 board is ideal for application fields like engine knocking, cylinder pressure analyses and electric drive projects. The DS5203 works together closely with the XSG model library.
Key Benefits
A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device consisting of logic elements that you can configure. The DS5203 FPGA Board features a powerful, freely programmable FPGA, the Xilinx Virtex®-5. In addition, it offers 6 ADC, 6 DAC and 16 digital I/O channels, and connection to the processor board via PHS bus. The number of I/O channels can be increased by piggyback modules.
Programming via the RTI FPGA Programming Blockset1)
The DS5203 FPGA Board is programmed via the RTI FPGA Programming Blockset from dSPACE and the Xilinx System Generator. These let you develop applications for the processor board and the DS5203 together. You can test the interaction between the processor application and the FPGA application in offline simulation before implementing them on the real-time hardware. This enables you to react flexibly to new requirements such as new interfaces or having to accelerate the execution of submodels.
You can also use the RTI FPGA Programming Blockset Handcode Interface to program the DS5203.
NEW: Two Variants
The DS5203 is available with two different FPGAs:
- DS5203 LX 50 includes a Xilinx Virtex®-5 LX50T-1C FPGA, consisting of 46080 logic cells and 48 special DSP blocks. This board offers a cost-effective solution for smaller applications and starter systems.
- DS5203 SX95 includes a Xilinx Virtex®-5 SX95T-2C FPGA, consisting of 94298 logic cells and 640 special DSP blocks. The large amount of DSP blocks help by performing tasks such as fast, resource-saving multiplication.
