The four-lanes multi gigabit serial transceivers are coupled to a PCI switch for scalability, the FMC-LPC and a SATA connector on the PC/104 are said to stack to connect to local storage or for direct high-speed connection to stacked EMC2 boards.
The EMC2-7A introduces a 'cable-less-break-out' concept and upgradeable SoM (System-on-Modules). The 'break-out' solution removes the requirement for cabling from the EMC2 to the external world, and is implemented using the 100-way Samtec Razor Beam self-mating connector solution that breaks out the I/O to a connector board. The same connector system is used for the SoM modules, allowing the SoM to be replaced by one with a faster or bigger area of FPGA fabric or even the next generation of MPSoC.
The SoM modules measure 40 x 50mm and are available without the EMC2 Carrier for integration into custom solutions.
