IO344: Simulink-Programmable FPGA I/O Module

IO344

Simulink^®-Programmable FPGA I/O Module

The IO344 is a Simulink^®-programmable FPGA I/O module with a high performance System on Chip (SOC) and very fast analog input and output channels, offering a wide range of capabilities for radio frequency and signal processing applications such as software-defined radio (SDR), MIMO Radar and digital signal processing (DSP).

The IO344 I/O module features an additional GPS interface to connect to an external GPS antenna for sample clock synchronization.

You can expand the capabilities of the IO344 using Speedgoat’s I/O interface extensions for additional digital I/O lines.

Furthermore, AMD^® Aurora protocol over fiber optics supports low-latency inter-module communication between multiple IO344s and other optically coupled, Aurora-capable I/O modules, in turn making it possible to extend I/O functionality and algorithmic resources.
