AMC FPGA utilises SoC for high performance at low power
VadaTech has announced a FPGA in the AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) form factor that utilises the Xilinx Zynq all programmable SoC. The AMC518 comes in a single module, mid-size AMC that allows an FMC per VITA 57 to be plugged into the carrier.
The AMC518 has an on-board, re-configurable FPGA which interfaces directly to AMC FCLKA, TCLKA-D, FMC DP0-7 and all FMC LA/HA/HB pairs.
The device features a clock and jitter cleaner which helps provide clean signals. An interface to a single DDR3 memory channel (64-bit wide) allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing and 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.
