VadaTech Announces FMC with Dual NVMe Solid State Drives and RS-485/422

Henderson, NV – September 4, 2019 – VadaTech, a leading manufacturer of integrated systems, embedded boards, enabling software and application-ready platforms, announces the FMC257. The FMC257 is a storage module with dual NVMe storage SSD which provides high speed and low latency read/write. The module allows the FPGA to access a large capacity of storage in a compact space. The FMC257 interfaces to the carrier via dual PCIe x4 (DP0-3 and DP4-7), with supporting IP being available for VadaTech carriers.

The storage has an option for SED which is hardware-based AES-256 Encryption engine. In addition, the FMC257 provides eight RS-485/422 RX plus eight RS-485/422 TX, and eight single-ended +3.3V input or outputs (user configurable per I/O).

The RS-485/422 configuration can be selected as full-duplex RS-422 (independent RX/TX pairs with RX termination) or half-duplex RS-485 (RX/TX pairs tied together, no termination on board) based on the ordering option. The FMC257 can provide power of up to 12W to an external module.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
