This article , introduced by Jerry Gipper, editor of VITA Technologies, looks at how the FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) standard has become the de facto mezzanine standard for anyone wanting a modular solution for platforms using an FPGA [field-programmable gate array], and examines some of the creative ways in which engineers are leveraging its modularity.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.— June 12 2017 Responding to the accelerating trend towards wider bandwidth multi-channel receivers in modern radar systems, Abaco Systems today announced the FMC134 FMC+ FPGA Mezzanine Card Direct RF Conversion Module. It brings industry-leading ADC performance and density: the card can operate as a 4-channel receiver at 3.2GSPS or a 2-channel receiver at 6.4GSPS. Using 16 of the available 32 high speed JESD204B lanes, the...

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.— May 23 2017 Abaco Systems today introduced the innovative MMS8010 Micro Mezzanine System™ (MMS) rugged 3U VPX carrier card and MMS6245 XMC carrier card. They are designed to enable customers to achieve ultimate flexibility in configuring the broad range of mixed signal I/O typically required by today’s advanced embedded systems while minimizing chassis slot occupancy, and thus minimizing the size, weight and power (SWaP) of the...

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.— MAY 10, 2017 — At GTC (the GPU Technology Conference: San Jose Convention Center) Abaco Systems today announced the GVC1000 rugged, high performance, small form factor mission ready graphics and vision system. Based on the recently-released NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX2 supercomputer on a module, the GVC1000 delivers a market-leading combination of 1+ TeraFLOPS of performance in graphics/video applications, flexible connectivity, minimal...

In this audio interview , Amelia Dalton of EEJournal.com talks to Abaco’s Haydn Nelson, who is director of marketing for our 4DSP product family, about the future of electronic warfare, how spectral allocation in wireless communication can be a battlefield game-changer, and why open standards are critical to the evolution of warfare communication technologies.

GTC is the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference. It takes place every year, and is much anticipated by the GPU community. This year, it takes place at the San Jose Conference Center May 8-11 – and our own Ross Newman has been invited to deliver a paper describing how Abaco enables our customers to achieve the significant performance and SWaP benefits of GPU technology. We’ll be making a significant new product announcement – see here – at GTC, and...

In this article for COTS Journal, editor Jeff Childs discusses what’s going on in the world of FPGA, noting that they have “become the main engine for digital signal processing in military system designs.” He refers to the recently announced Abaco VP880 3U VPX FMC+ (VITA 57) carrier.
