TECHWAY launches a new cost-effective platform dedicated to 28 Gbps applications. The PFP-IV is a Kintex UltraScale+ PCIe board with FMC+ site.

  • Ready-made PCIe Kintex UltraScale+ processor with FMC+ site
  • Unlimited high-speed applications

Embedded Tech. Trends, January 22-23, 2024 – TECHWAY, expert in high-speed signal and video acquisition and FPGA-based processing, announced its new Kintex UltraScale+ PCIe board with FMC+ site, called PFP- IV and using all the benefits of VITA 57.4 flexibility.

TECHWAY has 20+ years development experience in AMD Xilinx FPGA & SoC, PCIe platforms and FMC interfaces. Thanks to our know-how, we offer cost-effective solutions to bring the latest FPGA technologies into industrial applications.

The board is 100% compliant with the VITA 57.4 standard. The new PFP-IV is a multi-purpose PCIe x16 Gen3 platform with FMC+ site based on the powerful AMD Kintex UltraScale+ FPGA.

This board is dedicated for extreme high-speed applications such as 100 GbEth communications, 4/6 GHz ADC/DAC, ODI, ARINC 818, AURORA, JESD, sFPDP, etc.

Kintex UltraScale+ devices provide the best price/performance/high-end features, delivering a cost-effective solution for applications that require high-end capabilities.

The PFP-IV is delivered together with a complete Development Kit to offer a ready-made solution to integrators. The Development Kit remains a decisive element allowing to focus the effort on the application developments rather than on the low-level layers (FPGA communication, Memory controller, PCIe drivers, etc.).

PFP-IV is versatile thanks to its perfect technology mix: Kintex UltraScale+ FPGA, FMC+ site, DDR4 memories, SoM based on Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, management system, 28 Gbps optical links, etc. The optional System-on-Module (SoM) offers powerful CPU capabilities, allowing offloading of complete application (processing + management).

PFP-IV can be easily used in a standard PC environment with development kit available for both Windows and Linux, or in stand-alone mode in your own enclosure by adding Zynq capabilities.

Use cases – VITA 57 PCIe FPGA platforms is the perfect option for versatility

sFPDP platform

TECHWAY designed VITA 17 ready-made solutions to fit the customers’ requirements: number of links and speed of processing. Our latest board offers 4 links @ 10 Gbps per link. For plug-and-play, we offer a range of on-demand systems for recording.

Optical Data Interface (ODI) platform

For advanced instrumentation and embedded systems, The Optical Data Interface (ODI) standard requires high-speed and high-density capabilities. ODI operates 12 optical links @ 14 Gbps per link.

Our Kintex UltraScale+ PCIe boards together with our Optical SAMTEC FireFly™ FMC+ card is the perfect hardware to develop ODI solutions.
