AJEET SBC with Xilinx V5 FPGA

The AJEET board combines the processing functions and the I/O necessary for a complete spacecraft C&DH system on a single 3U board. The AJEET uses the rad-hard BRE440 system-on-a-chip (SoC) and the rad-hard Virtex-5QV FPGA. The board includes the following resources:
Functions:
- Radiation-Hardened BRE440 SoC PowerPC Processor @100MHz Core Frequency
- Radiation-Hardened Xilinx Virtex-5QV FPGA
- 512Mbytes Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM System Memory (EDAC)
- 128Kbytes Boot EEPROM (TMR)
- Up to 8Gbyte FLASH Memory (TMR) with independent switched power
- 256Mbytes Digital Signal Processing (DSP) SDRAM (EDAC/Reed-Solomon capable)
- PCI V2.2, 32/64-bit, 33/66 MHz, configurable for cPCI system slot or peripheral slot operation; Initiator and target operation
- Mass: 460g, Power: 11.7W, TID: 50KRad
- Qty 24 RS422 or LVDS inputs
- Qty 24 RS422 or LVDS outputs
- Qty 2 RS485 transceivers
- Qty 1 LVDS DeSerializers (3:21)
- Qty 16 Bi-Level inputs (TTL/CMOS), 5V or 3.3V
- Qty 80 Analogs (+/-10V) / AD590 Temps (16 can be PRTs) with 14 AD590 voltage excitations
- Qty 12 Sun Sensors with 3 Sun Sensor Current Excitations
- Support for 10/100 Mbps RMII Ethernet (Requires 3 LVDS TX, 4 LVDS RX)
- Support for SpaceWire Interfaces (Requires 2 LVDS TX, 2 LVDS RX per interface)
