Description

The AMC516 is an AMC FPGA Carrier with an FMC (VITA 57) interface. The AMC516 is compliant to the AMC.1, AMC.2 and/or AMC.4 specification. The unit has an on-board, re-configurable FPGA which interfaces directly to the AMC FCLKA, TCLKA-D, 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 AMC516 has a single FMC connector per VITA-57 allowing the versatility of various FMC modules to be implemented.

The on-board quad core P2040 can run at 1.2 GHz with 1 GB of DDR3, 128 MB of Boot Flash, and a 32 GB SD Card.  The PPC has x2 PCIe interface to the FPGA in addition to its local bus. The PPC has its dual GbE routed to ports 0 and 1 of the AMC via a mux to allow FPGA routing as well.
