Acromag XMC-7A200 XMC mezzanine module and Artix-7 FPGA

Acromag’s XMC-7A200 is an XMC mezzanine module enhanced with a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA for low power consumption and 128 M x 16-bit Quad DDR3 SDRAM processing performance.

The rear I/O provides an eight-lane, high-speed serial interface on the P16 XMC port. Select I/O or LVDS pairs, plus global clock pairs, direct to FPGA via rear P4 or P16 port. The FPGA module serves as a co-processor, applying custom logic and algorithms to streams of remote sensor data.

The module can be reconfigured via a direct download into the Flash configuration memory over the PCIe bus or the JTAG port. A four-lane, high-speed serial interface on the rear P15 connector supports PCI Express Gen 1/2 (standard), Serial RapidI/O and Xilinx Aurora implementations.

The XMC-7A will provide users with good functionality and a balanced mix of I/O, all based on Xilinx’s latest Vivado development package. Typical applications include hardware simulation, communications, in-circuit diagnostics, military servers, signal intelligence and image processing.
