The micro-line C6713Compact is replaced by the C6713Compact-2, providing the same capabilities, but with a more current and capable Spartan-6 FPGA.
The design incorporates a high performance TMS320C6713 floating-point DSP Processor, a Virtex-II FPGA, IEEE 1394 FireWire communications interface, up to 64MBytes of SDRAM, and 8MBytes of FLASH ROM.
In situations where additional functionality is required, developers can extend the capabilities of the C6713Compact-2 with their own application-specific hardware. External hardware is easily interfaced with the TMS320C6713 processor or connected directly to the Spartan-6 FPGA.
- 300MHz TMS320C6713 floating point DSP Processor
– Maximum performance of 2400 MIPS or 1800 MFLOPS - 250k, 500k, or 1MGate Complexity Virtex-II FPGA
– requires optional VHDL FPGA Development Package
– up to 160 (VHDL configurable) digital I/O pins - 400 MBit/s IEEE 1394 FireWire interface
– requires optional 1394a API Software Library - 64MBytes of 100 MHz SDRAM
- 8 MByte Boot Program Flash EPROM

– data files can be accessed by PC when connected via board’s serial RS-232 port and using provided PC side Flash Filesystem utility software - Onboard watchdog and temperature sensor
- External access to TMS320C6713 DSP I/O interfaces: 32-bit EMIF, XF0/1 flag pins, Timer input pins, Timer output pins, McASP & McBSP ports, I2C, and Host Port interface.
- Board dimensions 120 x 67 mm
The micro-line power supply functions as a base for a micro-line stack of DSP, data acquisition and I/O boards. It delivers power to the micro-line stack and provides additional services such as RS-232 communications connector, a reset button and a power-on indicator. OEM developers may wish to mount the micro-line stack on their own hardware.
Interfacing Options
A rich suite of peripheral & I/O options are provided for interfacing with micro-line DSP boards. These include serial and parallel digital I/O, 400MBit/sec IEEE 1394 FireWire communications, and direct access to the micro-line bus for memory mapped peripheral hardware design and integration.
Networking & Connectivity
The on-board FireWire interface facilitates C6713Compact-2 integration with other embedded DSP resources, cameras, sensors, and host computers. FireWire provides guaranteed bandwidth for mission critical applications, live connect/disconnect, and many other impressing features.
