        针对数字信号处理应用而设计；可应用于最恶劣的环境当中

        * Xilinx® VirtexTM FPGA 处理器   
        * 5种加固选项
        * 灵活配置选项
        * 兼容 VITA-42.0、VITA 42.2 和VITA 42.3

        GE Fanuc 智能设备近日发布支持Xilinx® VirtexTM-5 FPGA 的XMCV5夹层卡，以满足军事和航空领域客户日益增长的对FPGA技术的需求。我们设计的XMCV5应用范围十分广泛，在数字信号(DSP)处理应用方面，可应用于地面移动通信、飞机固定和旋转机翼等；在海军应用方面，可应用于雷达、声纳、信号智能(SIGINT)及图像处理等方面。

        在信号处理的应用方面，越来越多的客户开始转向采用FPGA技术，这是由于它独特的灵活性和性能。通过XMCV5，客户可以灵活地实现以硬件为导向的基于FPGA的运算和基于软件的应用程序之间的合理平衡，它们运行在作为完整解决方案一部分的基于POWERPC或Intel的平台上，这些平台则由我们的业内领先的加固单板计算机、载卡、多处理器和传感器产品组成。

        现有5种加固等级可供选用，以应用于不同的苛刻环境下。XMCV5是第一款加固的XMC产品，XMCV5利用了V5产品中LX、SX和FX三个系列的卓越性能和灵活性；面向用户的编译选项包括：Virtex-5 FX100T、SX95T和Virtex-5 LX110T，这样不同领域的客户可以充分利用这些前沿的COTS设备从而锁定合适的解决方案。XMCV5可以配置到GE Fanuc 智能设备丰富的3U单板计算机和6U单板计算机(SBC)上，其中包括VMEbus PPC9A和VPX SBC（如SBC610 和SBC310）。它符合VITA-42 XMC夹层卡基本标准，并支持VITA42.3 (PCIe(r))和VITA 42.2（高速串行IO）。

        XMCV5可以有多种配置，以适用于加固空气冷却系统和传导冷却系统。
 
        GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms Announces First Rugged XMC Mezzanine Card To Offer Choice Of Three Xilinx® Virtex™-5 FPGAs
Designed for digital signal processing applications; card can be deployed in the harshest environments
 
        •  Choice of Xilinx® Virtex™ FPGA processors   
        •  Five ruggedization options 
        •  Range of flexible build options 
        •  VITA-42.0, VITA 42.2 and VITA 42.3 compliant
 
        CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA   June 24, 2008   GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms today announced the XMCV5 mezzanine card with Xilinx® Virtex™-5 FPGA technology, responding to the growing importance of FPGA technology to military and aerospace customers.  The XMCV5 is designed for a wide spectrum of digital signal processing (DSP) applications in ground mobile, airborne fixed- and rotary wing and naval applications including radar, sonar, signals intelligence (SIGINT), and image processing.
 
       “In demanding signal processing applications, many customers are turning to FPGA technology because of the flexibility and performance it brings,” said Peter Cavill, General Manager, Military & Aerospace Products at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.  “The XMCV5 gives customers the flexibility to strike the right balance between hardware-oriented FPGA-based computing and software-based application code running on either PowerPC- or Intel-based platforms as part of a complete solution based on our industry-leading range of rugged single board computers, carrier cards, multiprocessors and sensor I/O products.”
 
       Available in five ruggedization levels – allowing for deployment in the harshest environments – the XMCV5 is the first rugged XMC to harness the power and flexibility of all three Virtex-5 FPGA families with build options for the Virtex-5 FX100T, SX95T and Virtex-5 LX110T enabling customers to field the right solution with this leading edge COTS platform.  It can be mounted on a broad range of GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms 3U and 6U single board computers (SBCs), including the VMEbus PPC9A and VPX SBCs such as SBC610 and SBC310.   It is compliant with the VITA-42 XMC mezzanine card base standard, and is available in both VITA 42.3 (PCIe®) and VITA 42.2 (Serial RapidIO) configurations.
 
       The XMCV5 is available in a range of configurations for rugged air-cooled systems as well as in conduction-cooled form factors.
