Flexibility for Technical Refresh
Using FMCs for A/D implementation supports a straightforward
technical refresh path for long-running programs, allowing them
to upgrade signal interfaces while leaving the baseboard intact.
Industry-standard FMC modules offer a number of benets over
proprietary mezzanine designs, including a small form factor, highbandwidth connectors, and condence in future interoperability
based on market acceptance.

Using the FMC-based exibility of its analog-to-digital conversion,
the DCM-V5-VXS offers multiple options for conversion speed
and bit resolution. SIGINT, ELINT, Radar and Weather Tracking
applications, as well as advanced scientic equipment such as
particle accelerators, can be matched with an option that covers
typical frequency domains. See Table 1 for details.

Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) is accomplished via converters
populated on the FPGA mezzanine cards (FMC). The two FMC
sites support either two single-wide FMC modules or a single doublewide FMC module. As with all Echotek Series digital receivers, the
DCM-V5-VXS delivers the nest signal integrity on the market, as
dened by signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), spurious-free dynamic range
(SFDR), and signal-to-noise-and-distortion (SINAD).
The DCM-V5-VXS implements three Xilinx Virtex-5 SX240T or
LX330T FPGAs. These 1738 pin-package FPGAs offer the ultimate
in processing power, supplying the user with up to 3168 raw DSP48e
slices. Each FPGA is connected via a network of HSDL links and
high-speed GTP serial lanes, allowing maximum exibility when
implementing complex designs. Two FPGAs function as
Prosecutors, the rst to receive and process data from either the
QSFPs or the FMC sites. The third FPGA acts as a Governor,
interfacing with the backplane by implementing either the highspeed VXS or a RACE++® interface. All the Virtex-5 FPGAs are
initially populated with standard IP loads that include rmware
cores from Mercury’s enhanced EchoCore™ library. The FPGAs
are also user-programmable for implementing customer-specic
application features.

The Echotek® Series DCM-V5-VXS Virtex-5 Based FPGA Digital
Receiver from Mercury Computer Systems is engineered for
applications that require data-conversion exibility coupled with
extreme FPGA processing power. Utilizing mezzanine cards
complying with the new VITA 57 FMC form factor and
powerful FPGAs from market leader Xilinx, the DCM-V5-VXS can
address tough mixed-signal computing problems as a cost-effective
single-slot solution. The DCM-V5-VXS also provides a number of
high-speed data-transfer interfaces combined with a network of
data paths, making it one of the highest performing digital receivers
available on the market today.
