Overview
Product status: End of Life – Contact info@criticallink.com for information
The MityDSP-6455F is a highly configurable, high performance, small form-factor processor card that features a Texas Instruments TMS320C6455 fixed point DSP operating at up to 1.2GHz which is tightly integrated with a Xilinx XC3S2000 or XC3S4000 Spartan FPGA, FLASH and DDR SDRAM memory subsystems. Both the DSP and the FGPA are capable of loading/executing programs and logic images developed by end users. The MityDSP-6455F provides a complete digital processing infrastructure necessary for the most data- and processing-intensive applications.
The MityDSP-6455F is used in applications such as embedded radar control and signal processing, high data rate realtime data acquisition, and simultaneous multi-channel industrial monitoring and control. The MityDSP-6455F provides a large hammer in a very small footprint to meet serious processor and throughput demands.
The MityDSP-6455F with the TMS320C6455 processor includes 4 channels of Serial Rapid I/O and supporting clock speeds up to 1.2 GHz. In addition, larger FPGAs (up to Spartan 4000 series) may be populated without modification to the board form factor.

Development Resources
Development Kit
The MityDSP-6455F Development Kit provides a mother card that includes a MityDSP-6455F interface socket, dual 10/100 Ethernet PHYs, 6 Mbit USB PHY, and RS-232 drivers for communications, an LVDS LCD interface connector, a Camera Link interface, an 8 channel analog to digital converter and an 8 channel digital to analog converter to get projects started.
The mother card also provides additional Hirose connectors for add on modules as necessary for specific application needs. The Hirose connectors provide direct FPGA interface to the MityDSP-6455F, allowing customization of the motherboard configuration. Critical Link provides several modules and cores that integrate directly with the available MityDSP Core FPGA and DSP libraries. In addition, custom modules may be developed (by Critical Link, or a third party) to suit a particular need. This technique greatly reduces the scope of non-recurring engineering, as less focus is place on common infrastructure and more on your particular application needs.
