XMC-7AWP: User-Configurable Artix-7 FPGA Modules

XMC-7AWP: User-Configurable Artix-7 FPGA Modules Description

Acromag’s XMC-7AWP modules feature a high-performance user-configurable Xilinx^® Artix^®-7 FPGA enhanced with high-speed memory and a high-throughput serial bus interface.

The result is a powerful and flexible I/O processor module that is capable of executing custom instruction sets and algorithms.

The logic-optimized FPGA is well-suited for a broad range of applications. Typical uses include hardware simulation, communications, in-circuit diagnostics, military servers, signal intelligence, and image processing.

For security, the FPGA’s configuration flash is write-protected. The XC7A200 is only configurable via PCIe bus or JTAG. There is no configuration memory.

The rear I/O provides an 8-lane high-speed serial interface on the P16 XMC port for customer-installed soft cores. P16 also supports 34 SelectIO channels. The P4 port adds another 60 SelectIO and global clock lines. SelectIO signals are Artix-7 FPGA I/O pins that support single-ended I/O (LVCMOS, HSTL, SSTL) and differential I/O standards (LVDS, HT, LVPECL, BLVDS, HSTL, SSTL)

With Acromag’s Artix-7 FPGA modules, you can greatly increase DSP algorithm performance for faster throughput using multiple channels and parallel hardware architectures. Free up CPU cycles by offloading algorithmic-intensive tasks to the FPGA co-processor.

These modules are ideal for high-performance customized embedded systems. Optimize your system performance by integrating high-speed programmable logic with the flexibility of software running on MicroBlaze™ soft processors.

Acromag’s Engineering Design Kit provides software utilities and example VHDL code to simplify your program development and get you running quickly. A JTAG interface enables on-board debugging. Additional Xilinx tools help finish your system faster. Maximize FPGA performance with Vivado® or ISE® Design Suite. And with Integrated Logic Analyzer, you can rapidly debug logic and serial interfaces.
