New MicroTCA AMC carrier for fpga mezzanine card per VITA 57

Compliant to AMC.1, AMC.2, and AMC.4, the Vadatech AMC515 carrier for fpga mezzanine card (FMC) per VITA 57 features a Virtex-7 chip in a 1925 package.

According to the company, multiple AMC carriers can be used in a system holding different FMCs, providing a range of serial protocol options and performance features. The fpga interfaces directly to Ports 4 to 11 and to the CLK signals and allows protocols such as PCIe, SRIO, XAUI, etc. to be programmed or re-configured. The on-board QorIQ PPC runs at 1.0GHz with 2GB of ddr3 memory at 64bit wide. This, says Vadatech, allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing and for queuing to the host. The AMC515 comes in single width, mid height (4HP) or full height (6HP) size. It has 8MB of boot Flash and up to 32GB of user Flash. Other features include a Serial over LAN with hardware RNG for secure sessions and RoHS compliance.
