As FPGAs acquired DSP capabilities with hardware multipliers, Pentek was among the first to offer board-level FPGA design kits so customers could easily add their own IP algorithms. Pushing the envelope of FPGA resources, Pentek announced a series of extremely high-performance FPGA cores for FFT, DDC and pulse compression algorithms and now offer these as installed IP cores on Pentek products. |

"Xilinx Virtex® FPGAs are a programmable alternative to custom ASIC technology and offer the best solution for addressing the needs of high-performance embedded systems designers with unprecedented logic, DSP and connectivity capabilities. Each sub-family contains a different ratio of features to address the needs of a wide variety of applications."
- Paul Mesibov, Pentek Vice President, Engineering

FPGAs are fully characterized: Pentek provides detailed information on FPGA utilization and recommends exactly which FPGA to use based on how much user-generated IP will be installed.
FPGA development support: Free, lifetime customer support is provided. Nearly all of Pentek's boards use the integral FPGA for moving data and signal processing functions. As a result, Pentek is an expert at developing IP and using the Xilinx development and debugging software tool sets. This helps new customers through the process, saving time and money.

Navigator® Design Suite takes a new approach to solving FPGA IP and control software connectivity. Most modern FPGA-processing applications require development of specialized FPGA IP to run on the hardware, and software to control the FPGA hardware from a host computer. Even when "turnkey" solutions are delivered with complete FPGA IP and software libraries, as developers add their own custom-processing IP, new software needs to be created to control the custom IP functions. |
|
Navigator® FDK (FPGA Design Kit) provides the complete IP for a specific RFSoC data acquisition and processing board. When the design is opened in Vivado’s IP Integrator, the developer can access every component of the Pentek design, replacing or modifying blocks as needed for the application. All blocks use industry standard AXI4 interfaces providing a well-defined format for custom IP to connect to the rest of the design. Each Navigator/RFSoC design includes User Blocks in the data-flow path, ideal for inserting custom processing IP. |
|
Navigator® BSP (Board Support Package) allows software developers to work at a higher level, abstracting many of the details of the hardware through an intuitive API. The API allows developers to focus on the task of creating the application by letting the API, the hardware and IP-control libraries below it to handle many of the board-specific functions. Developers who want full access to the entire BSP library, enjoy complete C-language source code as well as full documentation. |
|
While many applications can be satisfied with the board's built-in functions, the FMC carrier boards are an ideal development and deployment platform for custom IP. Supported by GateFlow® FPGA Design Resources, users have access to the complete factory-installed IP at the source level, allowing them to extend or even replace the built in functions. |
|
The Pentek ReadyFlow® Board Support Package is available for Windows and Linux operating systems. To accelerate application development, ReadyFlow is provided as a C-callable library, the complete suite of initialization, control and status functions, as well as a rich set of precompiled, ready-to-run-examples. |
|
The Pentek GateXpress® PCIe Configuration Manager supports dynamic FPGA reconfiguration through software commands as part of the runtime application. This provides an efficient way to quickly reload the FPGA, which occurs many times during development. For deployed environments, GateXpress enables reloading the FPGA without the need to reset the host system, ideal for applications that require dynamic access to multiple processing IP algorithms. |
|
The SPARK® Development Systems were created to save engineers and system integrators the time and expense associated with building and testing a development system. Each SPARK system is delivered with the Pentek board(s) and required software installed and equipped with sufficient cooling and power to ensure optimum performance. The SPARK systems are fully-integrated platforms for Pentek's board(s) in product families: |
|
As a Certified Member of Xilinx's Alliance Program, Pentek has passed a comprehensive 320-point review of our technical, business, quality, and support processes and have committed engineers who completed the same rigorous training used by Xilinx Field Application Engineers worldwide. Pentek continues to demonstrate years of expertise with Xilinx devices and implementation techniques and consistently delivers high-quality products and services utilizing Xilinx programmable platforms. |
