    Customization:

    Currently Dynamic Engineering has customized card designs under contract:

    SpaceWire driver using INtime from Tenasys. The basic concept of the INtime system is to allow the real time component [SpaceWire in this case] run on a specified CPU in a multi-core system. This allows standard Windows to be operating on the other processors and the time critical function on the dedicated processor. Driver is in design currently.

    Update for the cPCI Receiver Controller to be VPX based plus some new content features. The design will be updated to a Spartan VI and tied directly to 1 lane [PCIe] on the VPX connector.

    Update for the PCI-ASCB to operate with the revision E ASCB protocol [8b10b encoding]. This design is in T&I currently.

  • IP-Connector-Saver Necessity is the root of invention. Tired of wearing out our IP Module connectors during test we decided to design a connector saver for IP Modules. Combined Carrier side and Module side connectors in a stacked configuration using a miniature PCB allows us to test our Carriers without destroying our IP-Test modules. The added air-space between the IP and carrier can be used for increased air-flow and taller components. Since the full added space can go to the Module the effect is "triple" the IP component height that can be used.
