SOSA Aligned 3U VPX Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ 100GbE FPGA Board
The WILDSTAR
3XBP FPGA board from
Annapolis Micro Systems is 100GbE-enabled, SOSA-aligned, and highly rugged and thermally-controlled. It also builds in more support and options for the data, expansion, and control planes, and includes an NVMRO option for hardware/firmware control.
These Xilinx FPGA boards include 1 Virtex® UltraScale+™ XCVU5P/XCVU7P FPGA with GTH/GTY transceivers performing up to 32.75 Gbps. There are two 80-bit DDR4 DRAM interfaces clocked up to 1200 MHz.
If front panel and/or backplane IO is required, Annapolis offers extraordinary density, bandwidth and analog conversion choices. Each card has one WILD FMC+ (WFMC+) next generation IO site based on FMC/FMC+ specification. While accepting standard FMC and FMC+ cards (complies to FMC/FMC+ specification) it also allows larger form factor Annapolis WFMC+ cards for higher IO density. WFMC+ also supports additional LVDS IO (100) for higher density ADC and DAC solutions as well as stacking (2 IO cards per site) when at least one card is WFMC+. WFMC+ also brings the total available HSS up to 32 lanes for even more IO bandwidth. VITA 66/67 optical/RF backplane support is included.
There is also an on-board quad ARM CPU running up to 1.2 GHz which can be used for local application requirements. It is accessible over backplane PCIe or Ethernet and provides dedicated AXI interfaces to all FPGAs. It is also used to query board health like FPGA temperature and power. It is connected to the OpenVPX control plane via 1GbE.
The 3XBP is hot swappable, allowing for more system reliability. This feature is unique to Annapolis.
