	Title:	Sundance and Dillon Marry Fastest FFT with Fastest Virtex-5 LXT FPG ( 1258)
	Summary	Sundance and Dillon Engineering Merge Signal Processing Expertise and FFT IP to Deliver Benchmark Performance for Embedded Defence, Industrial, Geophysical & Medical Systems
	Main Text	Sundance has announced that is has partnered with Dillon Engineering to deliver a joint solution that provides leadership in the fixed width and floating point FFT FPGA market. The solution makes available Dillon’s benchmark portfolio of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) IP on the Sundance SMT702 dual ADC, PXIe embedded computing module. By marrying Dillon’s cores with Sundance leadership in modular FPGA design, developers have access to a uniquely configurable, cost effective and high performance embedded solution. Area efficient, Dillon^^s FFT cores occupy fewer FPGA logic resources in terms of XtremeDSP slices and BRAMs than comparable off-the-shelf FFT cores. Dillon^^s IEEE-754 Floating-point FFT core sustains a rate up to 250Msps to deliver a 36 percent faster performance versus comparable cores. By offering a FFT length up to 64M points, Dillon’s core sets the industry benchmark.
