Description
The V2495 is a versatile VME 6U programmable logic unit designed for implementing a wide range of digital functions in experimental physics setups. It features a user-customizable Altera Cyclone V FPGA with 50K logic elements, directly interfaced to the front panel I/Os and an internal local bus. The unit supports up to 162 inputs and 130 outputs, which can be expanded using up to three piggyback boards from the A395x series.)
Key Features:
- User-programmable FPGA: Altera Cyclone V 5CGXC4 with 50K logic elements.
- Expandable I/O: Up to 162 inputs and 130 outputs using A395x piggyback boards.
- 32 independent programmable Gate and Delay Generators.
- Supported I/O standards: LVDS, ECL, PECL, NIM, TTL.
- Communication interfaces: VME bus and Mini-USB 2.0.
- Supported by SCI-Compiler: A graphical tool for easy FPGA programming (license not included).
- Firmware support: Includes free firmware demos and the optional FW2495SC firmware for scaler applications.
The V2495 is ideal for applications requiring custom digital logic, such as coincidence detection, trigger logic, gate and delay generation, and input/output register management. Its compatibility with various I/O standards and expansion options makes it a flexible solution for complex experimental setups.
