Ultra High-Performance Data Acquisition with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 FPGA Modules

Eletter Product

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 FPGA ModulesThe capabilities of sensors and sensing systems have grown considerably in recent years, making data acquisition (DAQ) systems increasingly complex as the amount of data flowing and the processing required in these systems multiplies. FPGA devices are perfectly suited to high-performance DAQ because of their flexibility, configurability, performance, and parallel processing capabilities. Data ingress and pre-processing with FPGAs is unmatched by any other programmable technology.

From custom machine vision cameras to extremely sophisticated research-grade metrology, cutting-edge LIDAR systems, and advanced machine-learning inference, Opal Kelly modules and the FrontPanel SDK allow our customers to focus on their core competency, leap ahead of the competition, and stay on the bleeding edge. Engineers leverage FrontPanel, relying on a proven system for professional-grade USB connectivity.

The XEM8350 Kintex UltraScale based FPGA module offers a turnkey SuperSpeed USB 3.0 host interface using Opal Kelly's FrontPanel SDK. System designers can build fully-operational prototype and production designs quickly by integrating this device into their product. From multi-sensor aggregators to high-speed JESD-204B data acquisition and software-defined radio, the XEM8350 provides multiple interfaces to manage data ingress and egress with flexible, high-density and efficient power of FPGA processing to offload host processors.
