Description
STAR-Dundee has extensive experience with demanding applications on the Microsemi RTG4 FPGA. Single-lane and multi-lane SpaceFibre IP cores have been designed and tested on the RTG4 along with other SpaceFibre IP cores. This serial interface IP runs at 3.125 Gbits/s using the internal SerDes of the RTG4. An FFT-based spectrometer has been designed which performs a 1k-point complex FFT at 2.4 Gsamples/s. An intelligent camera with both SpaceWire and SpaceFibre interfaces has been developed with an RTG4 coupled to an image sensor. The RTG4 is able to perform image compression or image processing task remotely. The SpaceFibre interface is able to send data at very high speed and to provide camera configuration, control and housekeeping services. These applications will be described.
Summary
Several high performance communication and signal and image processing applications running on the Microsemi RTG4 FPGA will be described.
