Specifications

BittWare’s D4-AMC (D4AM) features the I/O processing power of two Altera Stratix IV FPGAs. The D4AM is a mid- or full-size, single wide AdvancedMC that can be attached to AdvancedTCA carriers or other cards equipped with AMC bays, and used in MicroTCA systems. An Altera Stratix IV GX FPGA paired with a Stratix IV E make the D4AM an extremely high-density, flexible board.

The FPGAs are connected by two full-duplex 2 GByte/sec lanes of parallel I/O for data sharing. Each FPGA supports BittWare’s ATLANTiS FrameWork to greatly simplify application development and integration. Providing enhanced flexibility is a VITA 57-compliant FMC site, which connects directly to the Stratix IV E FPGA for LVDS and to the Stratix IV GX for SerDes.
The board also provides an IPMI system management interface and a configurable 18-port AMC SerDes interface supporting a variety of protocols. On-board memory includes up to 1 GByte of DDR3 and 128 MBytes of Flash, and Ethernet is available via the AMC front and rear panels.

The FMC site provides 8 optional high-performance SerDes, 80 LVDS pairs, and 6 clocks. The site is compliant with the VITA-57 mezzanine standard for FPGA IO, enabling the D4AM to be customized to individual needs.

The Altera Stratix IV GX FPGA was specifically designed for serial I/O-based applications requiring high-density, reconfigurable logic. The Stratix IV GX provides 18 full-duplex, multi-gigabit transceivers, 16 of which are high-performance supporting PCI Express (Rev 1.0/2.0), 10 GigE, GigE, Serial RapidIO (Rev 1.0/2.0), and SerialLite II standards. It contains up to 530k equivalent logic elements, over 20 Mbits of embedded memory, and 1,024 embedded 18x18 multipliers. The FPGA implements BittWare’s ATLANTiS FrameWork and provides seamless routing of all on-board data, I/O, and memory.
