New Line of OpenVPX Products with Lower Power Consumption and Cost
Pentek recently announced the 52xxx board
family of power- and cost-reduced versions
of the 53xxx family of products. These compact
3U OpenVPX software radio modules
incorporate Xilinx Virtex-6 or Virtex-7 FPGAs
for on-board signal processing. The 52xxx
boards represent a complete family of ruggedized
and commercial grade boards for
high-performance military and avionics
applications utilizing the industry’s most
advanced FPGA technology.
By combining processing, data conversion,
and preconfigured functions, the 52xxx
family is suitable for such applications as
SIGINT and COMINT receivers for UAVs,
airborne communication transceivers and
radar countermeasures, shipboard diversity
transceivers and armored vehicle anti-IED
systems. The 15-watt power savings boosts
packaging densities, processing efficiencies
and overall system performance.
Pentek customers using the 52xxx series
can now achieve a substantial savings in
their power and cost budgets without taking
a hit on performance.

In addition, the 52xxx
OpenVPX products benefit from a parallel
offering of functionally-equivalent PCI Express
cards. This way, customers can jump start
their development effort in a low-cost desktop
PC, and then deploy 3U OpenVPX 52xxx
boards in the final application system.
Pentek’s 52xxx OpenVPX boards feature
ruggedized construction and extended
temperature options—essential for military
equipment. The products are available in
commercial and rugged packages, with aircooled
and conduction-cooled options. The
boards support PCIe x4 over the VPX P1
connector, a popular configuration for 3U
OpenVPX modules. The 52xxx boards are
fully compatible with Pentek’s 53xxx 3U
OpenVPX boards which include a fully
programmable serial fabric crossbar switch.
The 52xxx family provides developers
with a high level of processing power.
Pentek installs numerous signal processing,
data acquisition and control functions in
the Virtex FPGA to support popular radar
and communications applications.
