Second Generation Virtual Design Lab

( 1 Apr 2006 )

Nu Horizons Electronics’ second-generation virtual digital signal processing (DSP) design lab builds upon the Spartan-3 two million-gate XC3S2000 FPGA from Xilinx. The company’s signal processing virtual lab incorporates the Mathworks Simulink simulation and model-based design with both A/D converter interfaces and D/A converter modules. The signal processing virtual lab is configured to allow users to create and download high performance DSP applications. Advanced algorithms can be developed and complex measurements performed via a full complement of test equipment connected to the virtual lab environment. Reference DSP designs are provided in the virtual lab environment, allowing the design engineer to evaluate the Spartan-3 2000 FPGA in a pre-verified environment with ease.
