AMC Platform Features a Flexible Memory Architecture and FMC I/O Expansion Capability

February 7th, 2011 – Nallatech, a leading supplier of high-performance COTS and custom FPGA solutions, announces the availability of the AMC-420, a mid/full size processing card designed for telecommunications, networking, defense, and imaging applications.

This PICMG® AMC.0 R2.0 compliant AMC features a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA that provides high-performance processing resources, with a range of devices that include logic-oriented LXT and DSP-oriented SXT. An extremely flexible memory architecture supports configurations with up to 1GB DDR3 SDRAM or up to 36MB QDR-II+ SRAM.

High-speed backplane communications are enabled by two 1Gb Ethernet links, and up to four x4 GTX fat pipe interfaces, that support protocols including PCIe, SRIO, Aurora and XUAI. The IPMI backplane interface directly connects to an on-board Pigeon Point MMC with integrated IPMI v1.5 capability.

This cost-effective, volume-deployable solution features a comprehensive suite of software and FPGA IP cores including an integrated Xilinx Microblaze processor core, 1 Gb Ethernet and x4 Gen2 PCIe links.  The Microblaze processor core includes a Petalogix Linux OS that is ready to use for application control and management.

 “Nallatech has seen a significant growth in market demand for FPGA AMC products, as customers seek high-performance and cost-effective embedded processing solutions,” said Craig Sanderson, Product Manager at Nallatech. “This is true not only in traditional AMC markets such as telecommunications and networking, but also in defense, imaging and industrial applications. We are very excited about the potential of this new product. “

The AMC-420 is the latest product to be introduced to Nallatech’s highly successful embedded solutions product line and is compatible with MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA platforms, and standard FMC modules, from leading OEMs. For more details, please visit: http://www.nallatech.com/AMC/amc-420-virtex-6-fpga-processing-amc-module-with-fmc-site.html
