Summary
The ADA-VPX3-7K1 assembly brings together the power and configurability of the ADM-XRC-7K1 FPGA XMC in a VPX 3U module based on the Xilinx Kintex-7 range of Platform FPGAs.
Features include PCI Express Gen2 interface, external memory, high density I/O, temperature monitoring and flash boot facilities.
A comprehensive cross platform API with support for Microsoft Windows, Linux and VxWorks provides access to the full functionality of these hardware features.
Placing the PCI Express bridge in bypass allows the creation of a Gen 2 x8 PCI Express endpoint design directly into the target FPGA (x8 for -2/-3 devices only x4 for -1 devices).
There is a build option to include a 10/100/1000 Ethernet Interface connecting the target FPGA to P6.
