Description

The PCI595 is based on the Xilinx XCVU440 Virtex UltraScale FPGA, which provides 2,880 DSP slices, 88.6 Mb RAM and 5,541,000 logic cells. The FPGA interfaces directly to the FMC DP 0-9 and all FMC LA/HA/HB pairs, making it compatible with a wide range of industry standard VITA 57 modules. It also has interface to one DDR4, 64-bit wide, with 8 GB total memory. This allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuing the data to the host.

The unit has x8 PCIe edge connector routed to the FPGA PCIe Gen3 hard IP block. In addition, 16 uncommitted connection pairs are routed to a dual x8 expansion connector, providing direct connectivity to a neighbouring FPGA (e.g. via Aurora, 10G/40G, SRIO, PCIe) without the need to go through the host.

PCI595 provides active cooling of the FPGA and FMC, making it appropriate for power-hungry applications or those requiring temperature stability for good performance.
