FEATURES
Small but mighty
Equipped with a fast and reliable Intel® Core™ four-core processor and a powerful AMD Kintex™-7 410T FPGA, the OP4605XG2 delivers raw simulation power for CPU-based real-time simulation and sub-microsecond timestep power electronic simulations. Its 2U chassis is versatile for desktop or rack-mounted setups, offering up to 140 high-performance analog/digital channels with signal conditioning and 4 SFP-GTX optical high-speed links for seamless hardware interfacing.
HARDWARE DETAILS
Connections and interface
Simulator Architecture
Compact design, powerful simulation
The OP4605XG2’s commercial off-the-shelf FPGA and CPU architecture delivers real-time simulation with low time steps. A high-speed PCI Express link enables seamless co-simulation between FPGA and CPU, allowing high-speed FPGA-based models—such as power converters and electric drives—to integrate with slower electrical and mechanical systems on the CPU for more detailed simulations. With low nanosecond timing resolution, the FPGA supports advanced RCP testing of high-speed PWM-based controllers on actual hardware. All this computing power is packed into a single, rack-mounted chassis.
