Summary

The Q8JS extends the capability of the Xiphos Q8 processor, adding support for JESD204B interfaces as well as access to external DDR3 or DDR4 memory. The Q8JS is ideal for advanced SDR applications.

The Q8JS consists of a Q8J card, which is specially equipped with space-ready software and firmware, and rigorously tested. At the core of each Q8JS is a hybrid environment of powerful multi-core CPUs, and reprogrammable logic, providing consistent and reliable performance. The library of logic and software functions is augmented by onboard digital I/O and high speed transceivers enabling JESD204B interfaces with high performance ADCs, DACs, and RF transceivers.

Each Q8JS is delivered with a detachable PIM to facilitate development. The PIM provides standard commercial interfaces (e.g. CAN, 1-wire, 4 RSXXX, JTAG, 13 digital I/O, 8 analog input, 4 analog output), debug LEDs and other lab development features.

Xiphos also offers a range of ancillary services for Q-card customers including additional hardware and firmware development, software hybridization and Linux driver/API & application software development.
