Description

The VPX516 is a FPGA Carrier (VITA 46) with an FMC (VITA 57) interface. The unit has an onboard, re-configurable FPGA which interfaces directly to the FMC DP0-9 and all FMC LA/HA/HB pairs. The FPGA has interface to two DDR3 memory channels (64-bit wide and 16-bit wide). This allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuing the data to the host. The 64-bit wide bank is 2 GB and the 16-bit wide bank is 512 MB.

The module supports dual GbE and, dependent on FPGA code loaded, PCIe up to Gen3 (dual x4 or x8 lane), or dual SRIO, 10GbE or 40GbE on P1. In addition, from the FPGA going to the P1 there are dual GTX that could be used as SATA or any other protocols. Additional x4 lanes are brought out to P2 for direct FPGA-to-FPGA connection using lightweight protocols such as Aurora (backplane dependent).

The VPX516 provide health management through the dedicated management processor (including temp, voltage, FRU info, etc.).

The unit is available in a range of temperature and shock/vib specifications per ANSI/VITA 47, up to V3 and OS2.
