Description

The PCI596 is based on the Xilinx VU13P UltraScale+TM FPGA, which provides over 12,000 DSP slices, 360 Mb of UltraRAM and 3,780K logic cells. The FPGA interfaces directly to the FMC+ DP 0-31 and all FMC+ LA/HA/HB pairs, making it compatible with a wide range of industry standard VITA 57 and VITA 57.4 modules. It also has interface to DDR4 memory channels (1x 64-bit wide, 8 GB). This allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuing the data to the host.

The unit integrates the TI ADC12DJ3200 12-bit @ 6.4 GSPS (option for ADC12DJ2700) with dual DAC AD9164 at 16-bit @ 12 GSPS (option for AD9162) with Ultra-Low Noise VCXO.

PCI596 has x16 PCIe edge connector routed to the FPGA PCIe Gen4 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, 10/40GbE, SRIO, PCIe) without the need to go through the host.

Active cooling of the FPGA and FMC+ (the module does support HSPCe connector) is provided, making it appropriate for power-hungry applications or those requiring temperature stability for good performance.
