The VME-FPGA Card can be used to interface with any SBC with a standard 10/100Mbps Ethernet Interface. The card converts data received
through the ethernet Interface into digital/RS2422/RS232 signaling standard. The VME-FPGA card can also be used to interface with non-
standard Military Interfaces like RADAR Radio, Interrogator, Encoder, Crypto etc. The on board FPGA with PPC can be used to implement

Applications
The VME-FPGA card is ideally suited for RADAR/SONAR applications where it can be used as an interface card between various communication channels,
helping build a unified system. The onboard programmable FPGA from Xilinx Virtex5 family supports custom applications and the embedded PPC 440GP core
canbeusedforsoftwareapplicationdevelopment.
The board is an ideal companion for any VME based SBC system or processing platform. As a slave card it can easily expand the abilities of the SBC to
communicatewithothersub-systemswhichwouldrequirecustomFPGAlogictobedeveloped.
