Models 57651 and 58651 are members of the Cobalt® family of high performance 6U OpenVPX boards based on the Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA. They consist of one or two Model 71651 XMC modules mounted on a VPX carrier board. Model 57651 is a 6U board with one Model 71651 module while the Model 58651 is a 6U board with two XMC modules rather than one. These models include two or four A/Ds, two or four multiband DDCs, one or two DUCs, two or four D/As, one or two beamformers and four or eight banks of memory.
