Advanced Mezzanine Card targets data processing applications.

Press Release Summary:



Based on Xilinx Virtex-5 LX110T FPGA, single-width full-size Model AMC-V5F-10G is intended for wireless broadband and other demanding processing and optical data interfacing applications. Full Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure allows for system expansion, and additional optical data interfacing is enabled by dual SFP interfaces from FPGA. High-bandwidth connection to other AMC modules is provided by optional Serial RapidIO or PCIe links from FPGA to the AMC backplane.

CommAgility Targets High-End Wireless and Data Processing Applications with 10G Ethernet/CPRI Interfaces



FPGA-based AMC-V5F-10G provides high-speed I/O on AdvancedMC module

Santa Clara, CA, USA - At the AdvancedTCA Summit Booth 510, CommAgility announced today the AMC-V5F-10G, a high performance FPGA-based interface and processing card for the latest wireless baseband and other demanding processing and optical data interfacing applications.

For systems that require very high speed optical links, a front panel SFP+ interface provides a fast data link, including Ethernet at 10Gbps, and 16x CPRI (running at 9.8304Gbps). As well as high end data networking applications, this enables advanced wireless applications such as multi-rate LTE to exchange data at four times the normal CPRI maximum rate.

A full Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure allows for system expansion, and additional optical data interfacing is enabled by dual SFP interfaces from the FPGA. High-bandwidth connection to other AMC modules is provided by optional Serial RapidIO (SRIO) or PCI Express links from the FPGA to the AMC backplane.

The AMC-V5F-10G is a single width, full-size Advanced Mezzanine Card. High processing power is delivered by a Xilinx Virtex-5 LX110T FPGA. This configures and boots from FLASH on reset, using one of 4 selectable configuration images which are customer programmable and can be updated over Ethernet. The FPGA is fully customer configurable.

Edward Young, managing director at CommAgility, said, "There's always a need for more I/O bandwidth and processor power from applications like LTE, and this module provides the performance required."

The AMC-V5F-10G is available now. Extensive software and firmware library support enables OEMs to port application code quickly, reducing time to market.
