Virtex-6 FPGA based XMC card

Alpha Data has released its first Virtex-6 FPGA based platform, the ADM-XRC-6TL XMC card. The card is fully compliant with the VITA 42.3 industry standard (PCI-Express backplane) and is a suitable platform for the development of ELINT and Image Processing applications. The flexible board architecture supports the larger Xilinx Virtex-6 devices, including the LX240T, LX365T, LX550T, SX315T and SX475T. A key feature of the card is the company’s PCIe to Local Bus bridge design, which provides a simple, high-performance interface, between the host and FPGA system. The board is supplied with 1 or 2Gbyte of DDR3 SDRAM supporting transfer rates of up to 3.2Gbyte/s and arranged in four independent banks for maximum flexibility. In addition, battery back-up of IP encryption keys is provided, ensuring maximum security and design protection. Up to 146 LVCMOS/ LVDS I/O and eight high-speed serial links are provided to the front connectors, while 12 high-speed serial links, a x4 PCI Express I/F and 24 GPIO (general purpose IO) are provided as standard to the rear connectors.
