Common Hardware Platform

The CHP is the workhorse of our multi-function FPGA-based products.

Built into a tamper-resistant PCMCIA package, the CHP mounts an advanced technology FPGA (field programmable gate array) that itself includes two high-performance RISC (reduced instruction set computer) microprocessosr. Also inside the module is 256MB of DDR2-SDRAM, 64MB FLASH, and an Ethernet MAC supporting data transport at 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps.

When installed in either a PCMCIA slot or (with an adapter board) a PCI slot the CHP look like any other Plug-n-Play card and is completely transparent to the host operating system and the users application.
