Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-FX4/VPX6-473 6U OpenVPX Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA Processor Card
by: Curtiss-Wright
The CHAMP-FX4 is the flagship 6U product in Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions' family of user-programmable AMD Virtex 7 FPGA-based computing products, designed to meet the needs of challenging embedded high-performance digital signal and image processing applications. Curtiss-Wright's 4th generation 6U FPGA card, the CHAMP-FX4 combines the dense processing resources of three large Virtex 7 FPGAs with over 12 GB of memory resources, all on a rugged 6U OpenVPX (VITA 65) form factor module.
Using the CHAMP-FX4 with Curtiss-Wright's Signal Acquisition FMC cards such as the FMC-516/FMC-518 provides a complete Digital Receiver solution. With no onboard FPGA, FMCs are a low power mezzanine option and can better handle extreme rugged conditions.
