It’s time to move on FMC+ : Choose PFP-KX7+

A cost-effective Kintex-7 FPGA PCIe platform to boost your data rate performance with 12 High-Speed Serial links

Since 15+ years, TECHWAY offers cost-effective solutions to simplify FPGA technology integration onto the Industrial market.

In 2012, TECHWAY pioneered the PFP-KX7 boards: Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA platforms including FMC site for modularity. Today, PFP-KX7 series are widely adopted by Industry key players.

Capitalizing on this success, TECHWAY goes beyond the state-of-the-art FMC+ technology with the new PFP-KX7+ series. PFP-KX7+ are highly-versatile thanks to their perfect technology mix: Kintex-7 FPGA, FMC+ site, DDR3 memories, management system, 12 HSS, programmable clock generator, etc.

Based on the Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA, PFP-KX7+ is a versatile PCIe Gen2 x4 platform designed to meet the needs of high-speed applications. Its FMC+ connector (VITA 57.4) provides modularity for signal I/O thanks to a wide choice of interface mezzanines (analog and digital I/O). You also have the possibility to interface any custom mezzanines.

Fully compliant with VITA 57.4 standard, PFP-KX7+ boards were designed to easily fit into existing system or brand-new architecture. The SDK delivered with the board provides VHDL design examples compliant with the AXI4 and AXI4 Lite standards to facilitate code integration.

The PFP boards can be integrated in standard PC environment (drivers available for both Windows and Linux) or in stand-alone mode in your own enclosure.

Not only development boards, the PFPs are deployable platforms in use by several OEM with field proven 24/7 operations.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
