NEW PRODUCT PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release - February 21, 2006
Flexible USB Instrument offers powerful board access from PC
Pittsford, NY: GP-22050-BASE™ is a PC-controlled USB 2.0 pod with ADWG (Arbitrary Digital Waveform Generator), and logic analyzer capabilities. It enables the stimulation and analysis of digital interfaces, streaming data to/from a PC to 16 data lines at up to 100 MByte/s burst rate, with 6 additional control lines for repetitive sequence generation, in/out clocking or trigger definition. Electronic engineers now have an easy-to-use tool to access electronic systems from their favorite workstation.
GP-22050-BASE™
allows you to
access virtually any port that fits in
16 address/data lines
and
6 control lines
up to
50 MHz,
reaching a
maximum of
100 MB/s burst
performance over
the 16 kB internal memory depth. During operation, a built-in hardware
accelerator reduces the control flow to a minimum to reserve the bandwidth for
data transfer. Maximum continuous throughput of 48 MB/s is achievable, but
actual continuous flow through is held below the PC’s maximum continuous
throughput (~ 11 MB/s) –file size can be as large as your hard drive!
GP-22050-BASE™ offers a significant productivity gain for system-on-board development. Deliverable with many hardware options and host software extension packages, GP-22050-BASE™ is the ideal lab companion to access digital boards. GP-22050-BASE™ is used to complement existing in-lab debug, validation and analysis environments and to enhance electronic system development productivity. Key features of GP-22050-BASE: USB2.0-powered; 16 bidirectional data pins; 6 bidirectional control pins; I/O voltage 1.2V to 3.3V; System interface frequency up to 50 MHz; up to 48 MB/s throughput (100 MB/s burst).
Applications include: JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) access; logic/state analyzer/data logger; Arbitrary Digital Waveform Generator/pattern-generator; Serial protocol access; FPGA/CPLD serial or parallel configuration; parallel protocol access (up to 6 control lines/16 data lines); bus-master emulation; SRAM, flash interface; System debug and system prototype access; bidirectional protocol analyzer; IP prototyping and evaluation; recorder/player tools; ADC/DAC test and control; logic analyzer or pattern waveform generator. Future developments call for fast real-time cycle-accurate I/O, and SPI, I2C, I2S, RS-232 serial protocols.
8p Control Panel software provided allows you to define I/O clocks, repetitive sequences, and trigger patterns; and to automate tasks or build custom applications, you can use the TCL scripting environment, or C, C++ DLLs. It can also set repetitive and cumbersome lab tasks such as controlling a DAC (digital-to-analog converter), sending a stimulus to a custom IP block in an FPGA, or to create an arbitrary stimulus and collect results.
Made in Europe by
