PMC-VFX User-Configurable Virtex-5 FPGA with Plug-In I/O Description
Acromag’s PMC-VFX boards feature a reconfigurable Xilinx® Virtex™-5 FPGA enhanced with multiple high-speed memory buffers and a high-throughput PCI-X interface. Field I/O interfaces to the FPGA via the rear J4/P4 connector and/or with optional front mezzanine plug-in I/O modules. The result is a powerful and flexible I/O processor module that is capable of executing your custom instruction sets and algorithms.
The on-board FPGA has a hard core PowerPC 440 block to handle the most complex and memory-intensive computing applications. Offload your CPU-intensive operations such as video and 3D data processing or fixed-point math for superior system performance. The PowerPC core also enables system-on-chip functionality with real-time processing capabilities.
64 I/O lines are provided via the rear (J4) connector. Additional I/O processing is supported on a separate mezzanine card that plugs into the FPGA base board.
A variety of these external I/O cards offer an interface for your analog and digital I/O signals. See the AXM I/O Card data sheet (Bulletin 8400-458) for more details. Large, high-speed memory banks provide efficient data handling. Generous DDR2 SDRAM buffers store captured data prior to FPGA processing. Afterward, data is moved to dual-port SRAM for high-speed DMA transfer to the system. Our high-bandwidth PCI-X interface ensures fast data throughput.
Take advantage of the module’s support of conduction cooling for efficient dissipation of heat in environments with inadequate cooling air flow. Optional extended temperature models operate from -40 to 85°C.
Acromag’s Engineering Design Kit provides software utilities and example VHDL code to simplify your program development and get you running quickly. A JTAG interface enables on-board VHDL simulation.
