EDT Combo E1/T1, E3/T3, ECL interface

EDT Combo E1/T1, E3/T3, ECL interface

Features

  • 16 E1/T1 line interfaces
  • Four E3/T3 line interfaces
  • 16 ECL differential inputs/outputs
  • Large Xilinx FPGA provided by EDT PCIe8 LX main board
  • Two large synchronous static memory banks or one memory bank up to 1 GB (also provided by mainboard – see details below)
  • LVDS External clock that can be used to synchronize the output data
  • 16 independent DMA channels to host memory
  • Fast transfers using a 66 MHz 32-bit PCI
Applications
  • Telecommunications network monitoring
  • Telecommunications switching

The Combo Mezzanine board pairs with a PCI / PCIe, EDT PCIe8 LX main board. The board pair supports the processing of large amounts of telecom serial or ECL data for complex, user-defined applications. The high-speed 16-channel DMA controller allows flexible access to host memory. The main board supplies the DMA, memory, and programmable FPGA resources (see ordering options below); EDT provides FPGA configuration files.
