Lowering System Costs with Highly Integrated FPGAs & Power Solutions (CHALK TALK)

by Kevin Morris

November 17, 2009

The MicroTCA backplane can deliver power to run the most demanding applications, up to 80W. The challenge resides in the fact that each watt of power must be dissipated by the small AdvancedMC card through the chassis’ cooling system. Thanks to the Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA which uses 50% less power than previous generations, … Read More → "Lowering System Costs with Highly Integrated FPGAs & Power Solutions (CHALK TALK)"
