Application Areas

The DS6601 FPGA Base Board has been designed for applications that require very fast, high-resolution signal processing, for example:

• Electric vehicle applications
• Industrial drive applications
• Electric power industry applications
• Electric drive simulation
• Power electronics simulation
• Power hardware-in-the-loop simulation
• Electric motor control development
• Power electronics control development

The DS6601offers a powerful FPGA, making it well-suited for applications that involve protocols, third-party interfaces, processor-based electric drive simulation, or developing electric drive and power electronic controllers in the context of rapid control prototyping (RCP). The DS6601 is the cost-effective alternative to the DS6602.

Programming the FPGA

Applications for the DS6601 FPGA are modeled with the Xilinx® System Generator, RTI FPGA Programming Blockset and the related dSPACE XSG-based solutions. If required, you can react flexibly to new requirements, such as new interfaces or having to accelerate the execution of submodels. You can also test the program in offline simulation before implementing it on the real-time hardware. Using dSPACE ConfigurationDesk, you can download the programs to the FPGA.

I/O Modules

Three I/O modules are available to expand the I/O channels of the dSPACE FPGA base boards: the DS2655M1 Multi-I/O Module, the DS2655M2 Digital I/O Module, and the DS6651 Multi-I/O Module. Up to five I/O modules can be connected to each FPGA base board, thus providing a flex-ible, customized channel set.
