These SOSA aligned Xilinx FPGA boards from Annapolis Micro Systems include 1 Kintex® UltraScale™ XCKU115 or Virtex® UltraScale+™ XCVU5P/XCVU7P FPGA with 64 High Speed Serial connections performing up to 32.75 Gbps. There are two 80-bit DDR4 DRAM interfaces clocked up to 1200 MHz.

Each WB3XBM 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.

There is also an on-board quad ARM CPU running up to 1.3 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.

In addition, there are 12 backplane HSS connections supporting up to 25Gb/s with new RT3 backplane connector. With included High Speed Serial (HSS) FPGA cores, including 40GBASE-KR and hardened 100GBASE-KR (Virtex UltraScale+ only), there is up to 72 GB/s of bandwidth on the VPX backplane which can go directly to other VPX cards, a switch or RTM, depending on backplane topology. When using 40GBASE-KR/100GBASE-KR, there is the added reliability of Forward Error Correction (FEC) to achieve a much lower Bit Error Rate (BER).

WILDSTAR™ 3XBM 3U OpenVPX FPGA Processor boards are hot swappable allowing for more system reliability. This feature is unique to Annapolis and was developed because their experience with OpenVPX systems has shown it invaluable - a whole chassis does not need to be shutdown to remove a single board.

There are also plenty of user backplane signals available on the Annapolis 3U Rear Transition Module (RTM) such as LVDS, FPGA HSS, IRIG, Ethernet and clocking. RTM HSS is also capable of 10Gbps signaling and can support multiple channels of 40GbE.
