X6-RX
Architecture and Features

The X6-RX module architecture integrates analog IO with an FPGA computing core, memories and PCI host interface. This
architecture tightly couples the FPGA to the analog and enables the module to perform real-time signal processing with low
latency and extremely high rates making it ideal as
a front-end for demanding applications in wireless, Data flows between the IO and the
host using a packet system
RADAR and medical imaging applications.
Analog IO
A/D
The analog front end of the X6-RX module has A/D Data VITA59
four simultaneously sampling channels of 16-bit, Buffer Router
160 MSPS A/D input. The A/D inputs have an 4 channels 1GB
PCI
analog input bandwidth of 400 MHz for wideband Express Host
and direct sampling applications. The A/Ds are DDC or
directly connected to the FPGA for minimum data PCI
latency. In the standard logic, the A/Ds have an Interface
Triggering
interface component that receives the data, provides Aurora
digital error correction, and a FIFO memory for
buffering. A non-volatile ROM on the card is used Alerts
to store the calibration coefficients for the analog
and is programmed during factory test.
X6 Architecture
The A/D channels operate synchronously for
simultaneously sampling systems using the external clock input. Controls for triggering allow precise control over the
collection of data and are integrated into the FPGA logic. Trigger modes include frames of programmable size, external and
software. Multiple cards can sample simultaneously by using external trigger inputs. The trigger component in the logic can
be customized in the logic to accommodate a variety of triggering requirements.
FPGA Core
The X6 Module family has a Virtex6 FPGA and memory at its core for DSP and control. The Virtex6 FPGA is capable of
over 1 Tera MACs (SX315T operating at 500 MHz internally) with over 1300 DSP elements in the SX315T FPGA. In
addition to the raw processing power, the FPGA fabric integrates logic, memory and connectivity features that make the
FPGA capable of applying this processing power to virtually any algorithm and sustaining performance in real-time. The
FPGA has direct access to four banks of 1GB DRAM. These memories allow the FPGA working space for computation,
required by DSP functions like FFTs, and bulk data storage needed for system data buffering and algorithms like Doppler
delay. A multiple-queue controller component in the FPGA implements multiple data buffers in the DRAM that is used for
system data buffering and algorithm support.
The X6 module family uses the Virtex6 FPGA as a system-on-chip to integrate all the features for highest performance. As
such, all IO, memory and host interfaces connect directly to the FPGA – providing direct connection to the data and control
for maximum flexibility and performance. Firmware for the FPGA completely defines the data flow, signal processing,
controls and host interfaces, allowing complete customization of the X6 module functionality. Logic utilization is typically
<10% of the device.
PCI Express Host Interface
The X6 architecture delivers over 3.2 GB/s sustained data rates over PCI Express using the Velocia packet system. The
Velocia packet system is an application interface layer on top of the fundamental PCI Express interface that provides an
efficient and flexible host interface supporting high data rates with minimal host support. Using the Velocia packet system,

Innovative Integration • phone 805.578.4260 • fax 805.578.4225 • [Link] 11 of 17


X6-RX
data is transferred to the host as variable sized packets using the PCIe controller interface. The packet data system controls
the flow of packets to the host, or other recipient, using a credit system managed in cooperation with the host software. The
packets may be transmitted continuously for streams of data from the A/Ds, or as occasional packets for status, controls and
analysis results. For all types of applications, the data buffering and flow control system delivers high throughput with low
latency and complete flexibility for data types and packet sizes to match the application requirements. Firmware components
for assembling and dissembling packets are provided in the FrameWork Logic that allow applications to rapidly integrate
data streams and controls into the packet system with minimum effort.
The PCI Express interface is implemented in the Virtex6 FPGA using 8 Rocket IO ports, for a maximum bit rate of over 40
Gbps, full duplex. Data encoding and protocol limit practical in-system data rates to about 400 MB/s per lane. Since PCI
Express is not a shared bus but rather a point-to-point channel, system architectures can achieve high sustained data rates
between devices – resulting in higher system-level performance and lower overall cost.
PCI Host Interface
The X6 family can be optionally configured with a PCI interface capable of over 200 MB/s sustained rates. The Velocia
architecture is the same as the PCI Express system, supporting the packet system with DMA.
System Data Plane Ports and Digital IO
The X6 module family has eight high speed serial data links on J16 for system interconnect, operating at up to 5 Gbps per
link, full duplex. These links enable the X6 modules to integrate into switched fabric systems such as VPX to create
powerful computing and signal processing architectures. The standard logic uses these lanes as two Aurora ports of 4 lanes
each. Other protocols such as SRIO and SFPDP may be implemented in the FPGA.
J4 connector has 32 digital lines that connect to the FPGA. These digital IO lines are direct connections to the FPGA.
Module Management
The X6 family has independent temperature monitoring for the FPGA die. The temperature sensor is set so that power shuts
when a critical temperature is exceeded. This function is independent of the FPGA.
The data acquisition process can be monitored using the module alert mechanism. The alerts provide information on the
timing of important events such as triggering, overranges and thermal overload. Packets containing data about the alert
including an absolute system timestamp of the alert, and other information such as current temperature. This provides a
precise overview of the card data acquisition process by recording the occurrence of these real-time events making the card
easier to integrate into larger systems.
FPGA Configuration
The modules uses a FLASH memory for the Virtex 6 FPGA image. This FLASH can be programmed in-system using a
software applet. There are two images in the FLASH: an application image and a “golden” image as a backup.
During development, the JTAG interface to the FPGA is used for development tools such as ChipScope and MATLAB. The
FPGA JTAG connector is compatible with Xilinx Platform USB Cable.

Software Tools
Software development tools for the module provides comprehensive support including device drivers, data buffering, card
controls, and utilities that allow developers to be productive from the start. At the most fundamental level, the software tools
deliver data buffers to your application without the burden of low-level real-time control of the cards. Software classes
provide C++ developers a powerful, high-level interface to the card that makes real-time, high speed data acquisition easier to
integrate into applications.
Software for data logging and analysis are provided with every module. Data can be logged to system memory at full rate or

Innovative Integration • phone 805.578.4260 • fax 805.578.4225 • [Link] 12 of 17


X6-RX
to disk drives at rates supported by the drive and controller. Triggering and sample rate controls allow you to use the
module's performance in your applications without ever writing code. Innovative software applets include Binview which
provides data viewing, analysis and import to MATLAB for large data files.
Support for the Microsoft, Embarcadero and GNU C++ toolchains is provided. Supported OSes include Windows, Linux
and VxWorks. For more information, the software tools User Guide and on-line help may be downloaded.

Logic Tools
High speed DSP, analysis, customized triggering and
other unique features may be added to the module by
modifying the logic. The FrameWork Logic tools
provide support for RTL and MATLAB
developments. The standard logic provides a hardware
interface layer that allows designers to concentrate on
the application-specific portions of the design.
Designer can build upon the Innovative components
for packet handling, hardware interfaces and system
functions, the Xilinx IP core library, and third party
IP. RTL source for the FrameWork Logic is provided
for customization. Each design is provided as a Xilinx
ISE project, with a ModelSim testbench illustrating
logic functionality. Using MATLAB Simulink for Logic Design
The MATLAB Board Support Package (BSP) allows logic development using Simulink and Xilinx System Generator. These
tools provide a graphical design environment that integrates the logic into MATLAB Simulink for complete hardware-in-the-
loop testing and development. This is an extremely power design methodology, since MATLAB can be used to generate,
analyze and display the signals in the logic real-time in the system. Once the development is complete, the logic can be
embedded in the FrameWork logic using the RTL tools.
The FrameWork Logic User sales brochure and User Guide more fully detail the development tools.

IP for X6 Modules
Innovative provides a range of down-conversion channelizer logic cores for wideband and narrowband receiver applications
for the X6 family. When fitted with these cores, the X6 modules provide powerful receiver functionality integrated for IF
processing.
The DDC channelizers are offered in channel densities from 4 to 128. Each offers offers complete flexibility and
independence in the channels. The DDC cores are highly configurable and include programmable channel filters, decimation
rates, tuning and gain controls. An integrated power meter allows the DDC to measure any channel power for AGC controls.
Multiple cores can be used for higher channel counts.
Each IP core is provided with a MATLAB simulation model that shows bit-true, cycle-true functionality. Signal processing
designers can then use this model for channel design and performance studies. Filter coefficients and other parameters from
the MATLAB simulation can be directly loaded to the hardware for verification.

Applications Information

Cables
The X6-RX module uses coaxial cable assemblies for the analog I/O. The mating cable should have an SMA male connector
and 50 ohm characteristic impedance for best signal quality.

XMC Adapter Cards


XMC modules can be used in standard desktop system or compact PCI/PXI using a XMC adapter card. An auxiliary power
connector to the PCI Express adapters provides additional power capability for XMC modules when the slot is unable to
provide sufficient power. The adapter cards allow the XMC modules to be used in any PCIe or PCI system.
The X6 module family uses the auxiliary P16 connector as a private host interface. Eight Rocket IO lanes with digital IO
signals provide support for data transfer rates up to 3.2 GB/s sustained, as well as sideband signals for control and status.
Protocols such as Serial Rapid IO and Aurora may be implemented for host communications or custom protocols.
Note that the high speed Rocket IO lanes require a host card electrically capable of supporting the high speed signal pairs.
Only the eight lane adapter, P/N 80259 is suitable for high speed P16 applications.
