AMC580

Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ FPGA, Dual FMC Carrier, MTCA.4 AMC module with RTM

The MicroTCA dual FMC Carrier board with Zynq Ultrascale+ FPGA allows extremely flexible solutions by combining a high performance FPGA for high-speed digital processing and two FMC+ connectors for attaching specialized I/O mezzanine cards like ADCs, DACs, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, SFP+, QSFP+ as well as NVMe storage and others.

FPGA I/O can be routed to a Rear Transition Module (RTM) according to MTCA.4 specification.

The main parts are:

FPGA: performs real-time processing, control, filtering, triggering, data conversion, or protocol handling.
FMC interface: accepts an FMC module such as an ADC, DAC, RF transceiver, camera interface, timing card, or custom I/O board.
MicroTCA backplane connection: carries data through PCIe, Ethernet, Serial RapidIO, JESD204, or other high-speed links, depending on the design.
Clocking and management: receives reference clocks and is monitored through the MicroTCA management system.

As a standardized platform of PICMG MicroTCA systems are typically used in medical applications, telecommunications, defense as well as in measurement systems for industrial and scientific applications (e.g. particle physics).

Description:

AMC580 is an AMC FPGA Carrier with dual FMC (VITA 57) interfaces. The AMC is compliant to AMC.1, AMC.2, AMC.3 and AMC.4 specifications. It is based on Xilinx UltraScale+ XCZU19EG MPSoC FPGA with dual FMC sites. The Rear Transition Module (RTM) pinout is compatible to the DESY D1.2 specification.

The re-configurable FPGA has 1968 DSP Slices, 1143k logic cells and includes a quad-core ARM processor. It has directly interface to AMC FCLKA, TCLKA-D, FMC DP0-9 and all FMC LA/HA/HB pairs. It also has interface to a single DDR4 memory channel (64-bit wide with ECC). This allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuing the data to the host.

The Module has onboard 64 GB of Flash, 128 MB of boot flash and an SD Card as an option.

Linux OS is standard on the AMC580.
