Description

The FMC257 is a storage module with dual NVMe storage SSD which provides high speed and low latency read/write. The module allows the FPGA to access a large capacity of storage in a compact space. The FMC257 interfaces to the carrier via dual PCIe x4 (DP0-3 and DP4-7).

The storage has option for SED which is a hardware-based AES-256 Encryption engine.

Further the FMC257 provides eight RS-485/422 RX plus eight RS-485/422 TX, and eight single-ended +3.3V input or outputs (user configurable per I/O). 

The RS-485/422 configuration can be selected as full-duplex RS-422 (independent RX/TX pairs with RX termination) or half-duplex RS-485 (RX/TX pairs tied together, no termination on board) based on the ordering option. The FMC257 can provide power of up to 12W to an external module.

Note: VadaTech FPGA carrier reference design for the FMC257 uses VadaTech NVMe IP. The “NVM257” IP core for standalone NVMe Host Controller is not included in the deliverable of the FMC257 and needs to be purchased separately. Contact VadaTech Sales for details.
