3XVC
Overview
3U VPX SOSA Aligned 100GbE Versal FPGA Module with Maximum Optical Connections
The WILDSTAR 3XVC (WS3XVC) is a rugged, 3U OpenVPX FPGA processor board designed for high-performance, bandwidth-intensive applications. Aligned with the SOSA™ technical standard, the board is powered by AMD’s Versal™ Premium VP1702 FPGA, which delivers up to 10,896 DSP slices and over 5.5 million logic cells.
It is equipped with five 32-bit LPDDR4 DRAM ports running up to 3732 MT/s, alongside an onboard dual-core ARM Cortex-A72 CPU for handling local application requirements. Built for demanding defense and industrial environments, the board utilises ultra-high-speed RT4 backplane connectors for up to 200G support and comes in air-cooled, air-flow-through, and conduction-cooled configurations to ensure thermal stability.
Beyond its core processing power, the WS3XVC offers exceptional modularity and system reliability. It features a next-generation "WILD Mezzanine Card HSS" (WMC-H) site optimised for high-density JESD-based ADCs, DACs, and optical transceivers, accommodating VITA 66/67 optical and RF backplane interfaces.
Notably, the air-cooled version of the 3XVC is hot-swappable. This is a unique feature that allows operators to remove or replace a single board without shutting down the entire chassis, drastically improving system uptime.
Supported by a comprehensive Board Support Package and Open CoreFire™ development tools, the WS3XVC provides a secure, highly scalable solution for advanced digital signal processing and computing workloads.
Technical
Processor Engine: It integrates AMD’s Versal™ Premium VP1702 FPGA to handle extremely high-bandwidth workloads.
Connectivity & Bandwidth: The board is 100GbE-enabled and incorporates ultra-high-speed RT4 backplane connectors to support scaling up to 200G data transfers.
Standards Alignment: It is fully compliant with the SOSA™ (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) technical standard and OpenVPX (VITA 65) protocols.
Optical Capabilities: Compared to sister variants like the WS3XV1, the 3XVC model is explicitly optimised with maximum optical connections available.
System Reliability: The air-cooled version supports hot-swapping, allowing the board to be replaced or serviced without needing to shut down the entire system chassis.
