VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, has announced a FPGA in the Advanced Mezzanine Card ( AMC) form factor that utilizes the Xilinx® Zynq® all programmable SoC.
The AMC518 from VadaTech comes in a single module, mid-size AMC that allows an FMC per VITA 57 to be plugged into the carrier. The unit has an on- board, re-configurable FPGA which interfaces directly to the AMC FCLKA, TCLKA- D, FMC DP0-7 and all FMC LA/HA/HB pairs. The AMC518 features a clock and jitter cleaner which helps provide clean signals. The FPGA has an interface to a single DDR3 memory channel (64-bit wide). This allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuing the data to the host.
The Zynq SoC provides a tight integration of ARM processors and a programmable logic fabric FPGA. This allows a highly efficient design process in an FPGA that offers high- performance with low power consumption.
VadaTech also offers other Xilinx and Altera FPGAs as well as FMC modules . The FMCs include networking, ADC and DAC, and RF module versions.
