Overview

The ProDAQ 3180 ultra-performance motherboard is a register-based VXIbus device supporting single-word transfer and block transfer of 16-bit and 32-bit words. It can be configured for both the A16 and A32 address space. The improved VXIbus interface of the ProDAQ 3180 is compatible to the VXI-1 Rev 4.0 standard and supports the 2eVME and 2eSST protocols, which allow for backplane transfers at data rates of up to 320 MB/s (theoretically). Depending on the slot-0 controller used, the ProDAQ 3180 can sustain data transfers up to 240 MB/s.

The ProDAQ 3280 TigerSHARC digital signal processor (DSP) plug-in and the ProDAQ 3214 DDR2 SDRAM module can be installed as options on the motherboard. The TigerSHARC DSP runs at 400 MHz, providing unmatched 4800 MMACS of 16-bit performance and 3600 MFLOPS of floating-point performance. Paired with 512 MB or 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM with sustained data transfer rates of more than 500 MB/s, it offers real-time capabilities for local data processing, control loops, or event handling.

ProDAQ 3180 modules installed in the same VXIbus mainframe can communicate directly to each other using a high-speed serial link protocol on the VXIbus local bus. The optional ProDAQ 3202 voltage reference can be added to the ProDAQ 3180 motherboard to provide additional self-test capabilities and allow the calibration of function cards on-the-fly.
