The ALTHEA PCIe to VME is a high-performance bridge solution crafted for seamless PCI Express to VME64x interfacing, specifically utilizing Xilinx Artix-7 devices. It acts as a transparent master/slave bridge with embedded chained DMA, pivotal for efficient data transfers across networking architectures while maintaining low power consumption of under 1.5W.
This bridge offers single-chip compactness and versatility, which assists in simplifying integration into existing systems while saving on space and power. It serves as a powerful link in systems demanding high-speed data processing and minimal latency, crucial for industrial and aerospace applications.
Notably, the ALTHEA bridge features local shared memory and a network on chip configuration, designed to manage complex signal routing and processing tasks. This streamlines operations in systems where the minicost of inaccuracies is high, proving its value in mission-critical environments.
