About Annapolis Micro Systems
Founded in 1982, Annapolis Micro Systems is the leader in FPGA-based super-high-performance systems utilized for signal processing applications for defense and commercial requirements.
Annapolis systems are truly COTS-based due to the development of a breakthrough product line – WILDSTAR™ – and ecosystem – Wild100™ – that feature unprecedented interoperability, scalability, and forward/backward compatibility.
All Annapolis products are engineered and manufactured under one roof in the United States.  This co-location of engineering and manufacturing allows for better quality control and production flexibility, and substantially more aggressive delivery schedules.

First High-Bandwidth 3U OpenVPX FPGA Board Augments Growing 100Gb COTS EcoSystem

Annapolis Micro Systems, a leading FPGA board and systems supplier, is now shipping its first 3U OpenVPX COTS FPGA board with 100GbE capability. The WILDSTAR 3XBM 3U OpenVPX FPGA Processor’s superior bandwidth and speed is designed to address the most challenging real-time data digitisation, processing, and storage applications.
 

RT3 connectors support 25Gb/s, for a total of 100Gb per Fat Pipe

The 3U board’s debut follows the November introduction of the first 100Gb-capable 6U Board, the WILDSTAR 6XB2. Both boards align with the SOSA™ technical standard. The 3XBM integrates one Xilinx Kintex® UltraScale™ (XCKU115) or Virtex® UltraScale+™ (XCVU5P/XCVU7P) FPGA and a Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+ MPSoC (XCZU7EV) motherboard controller. The high-performance board also has a WILD FMC+ (WFMC+™) next generation I/O site, for dense, high-bandwidth ADCs and/or DACs. High-bandwidth backplane connectivity is enabled by MULTIGIG RT3 interconnects. The new high-density RT3 is 2.5X faster than existing technology, and enables PCIe Gen-4, 100 Gbps Ethernet, and InfiniBand high-speed bandwidths. The RT3 maintains backwards compatibility with the earlier MULTIGIG RT2.

“This 3U board was developed in close collaboration with our customers, who require fully-synchronized high performance processing, combined with high throughput,” said Noah Donaldson, Annapolis Micro Systems Chief Technology Officer. “With 16 LVDS and 12 HSS backplane connections, the 3XBM provides significant high-bandwidth VPX backplane I/O.”

3XBM is part of Annapolis’ growing Wild100 EcoSystem™, an interoperable portfolio of rugged high-performance 100GbE COTS boards and systems.
