XMC-3321

Dual Transceiver XMC Module

Overview

The XMC-3321 is a key component in Spectrum’s series of software defined digital radio modules from the flexComm™ wireless communications product line. The XMC-3321 supports industry standard IF frequencies including 10.7, 21.4 and 70 MHz through the use of dual 14-bit A/D converters sampling at up to 105 MSPS and dual 14-bit D/A converters sampling at up to 300 MSPS in a single-width XMC form factor. The XMC (ANSI VITA 42.0) standard is fully compatible with the IEEE P1386.1 PMC standard but offers the additional benefit of dedicated high-speed links between an XMC-compliant carrier and its mezzanine modules. The XMC-3321 is capable of supporting either the Solano Communication Technology or Parallel RapidIO (ANSI VITA 42.1) via the high-speed XMC interface. The module also features a single user programmable Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA device for wide bandwidth signal processing and filtering in the digital domain.

Features and Benefits

Features

Available in conduction-cooled and air-cooled versions with (optional) conformal coating. Rugged conduction-cooled PMC module versions follow the industry standard ANSI VITA 20 specification and operate with IEEE 1101.2 compliant XMC carriers.
IF to digital conversion via two 14-bit A/D converters sampling at 96.0 MSPS (alternate sampling rates from 36
to 105 MSPS optional)
Digital to IF conversion via two 14-bit D/A converters sampling at 192.0 MSPS (alternate sampling rates up to
300 MSPS optional)
Two 12 bit D/A converters up to 100 KSPS suitable for driving AGC input of an RF front-end
Four 12 bit A/D converters up to 100 KSPS suitable for reading the RSSI output of an RF front-end
XMC interface (ANSI VITA 42.0) provides high-speed, low latency, deterministic data flow to an industry standard carrier. Compatible with PMC and ePMC (Solano®) carriers.
User programmable Xilinx® Virtex-4™ FPGA for wideband processing and low power consumption
PCI 32-bit/33 MHz host bus for control
High-speed analog inputs are AC coupled, DC coupled input is optional
JTAG interface compatible with Xilinx’s ChipScope™ debugger
General Purpose I/O (GPIO) lines via PN4 connect the user programmable FPGA to the carrier board
Internal or external 10 MHz reference oscillator drives the on-board sample clock
Extended GPIO version available, replacing low-speed A/D and D/A converters with additional JN4 GPIO

Benefits

Rugged design for deployment in harsh environments
Supports conversion and processing of intermediate frequency (IF) signals including industry standard 10.7, 21.4 and 70 MHz
Supports multi-channel coherent operation necessary in many Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) and Smart Antenna applications
Increase communications range and improve payload data throughput with ultra low additive jitter clock circuitry design that is essential to maximize energy per bit/noise spectral density (Eb/No)
Provides independent data and control signal paths necessary for real-time transceiver operation
quicComm™ software architecture accelerates application development, simplifies the programming model and
ensures code portability
