The PM430 is a dual PMC module that employs FPGA technology to provide a high bandwidth processing platform, targeted at typical Radar/Video functions such as FFT, FIR filters and convolution. 

The PM430 uses ALTERA Stratix® FPGA technology to implement two high-speed processing nodes. A separate FPGA is used for interfacing to the PCI bus. The FPGAs are interconnected with high speed LVDS links that supports simultaneous target read/write and DMA transactions at peak PCI data rate. Up to 20MB of on-board ZBT memory (10MB standard) is connected to the Processing FPGAs.

Configuration data for the two processing FPGAs is stored in an on-board flash memory that is programmable via the PCI bus.The PM430 provides two 32/64-bit 33/66MHz PCI busses as well as two sets of 64 PMC I/Os.

The two PCI busses each provide sustained data rates of up to 420 Mbytes/s to and from the module.
