VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, has announced a FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) per VITA 57 for high -speed networking.
The FMC109 features quad SFP/SFP+ transceivers for 10 GbE in copper or fiber formats. The mezzanine module has four re-timers on the board which provide tuning for the Tx and Rx signals. The re -timer ICs provide input equalization, clock and data recovery, and output de -emphasis. This also allows for the use of longer copper cables as the distortion is cleaned across the farther distances. VadaTech’s FMCs can be utilized in the company’s MicroTCA/AMC or VPX carriers. The company also offers the full suite of Xilinx -based FPGA carriers and several Altera versions in the AMC form factor.
