Nallatech Announces Next Generation Xilinx® Virtex-5™ PCI Express FPGA Accelerators

CAMARILLO, California, November 16, 2009 – Nallatech, a leading supplier of high-performance COTS FPGA solutions, today announced two new PCI Express accelerator products featuring Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs. The PCIe-280 and PCIe-180 are the latest products to be introduced to Nallatech’s highly successful Embedded PCI Series of FPGA COTS solutions.

PCIe-280 next generation FPGA accelerator card:

8-lane PCI Express 2.0 host interface
Up to 5GBytes/sec sustained host bandwidth
Xilinx Virtex-5 user FPGA (up to LX330T-2)
Multiple independent banks of DDR2 SDRAM and QDR-II SRAM memory
32-lanes of off-card high speed serial I/O
DIME-II expansion slot
Population of optional DATA-V5 DIME-II module doubles FPGA and memory density

PCIe-180 low profile network accelerator card:

Half length, half height card
XFP module supporting 10GbEthernet and OC192 SONET via PCI backplate
8-lane PCI Express 1.1 host interface
Up to 2.38GBytes/sec sustained host bandwidth
Xilinx Virtex-5 LX155-1 user FPGA
5 independent banks of DDR-II SRAM memory
Single bank of DDR2 SDRAM memory

Both the PCIe-280 and PCIe-180 products are designed to be compatible with high density server and blade centre platforms from leading OEMs. Optimized memory controller IP cores and reference designs are included as part of the product deliverables along with VHDL source code and API for 64-bit Linux.
