VadaTech Announces new 6U OpenVPX Dual Xilinx Kintex UltraScale™ XCKU115 FPGA Board

Henderson, NV – November 8, 2018 – VadaTech, a leading manufacturer of integrated systems, embedded boards, enabling software and application-ready platforms, announces the VPX551 high-speed FPGA compute module for signal processing and beamforming applications.

The VPX551 provides dual Kintex UltraScale™ XCKU115 FPGAs, each providing over 1,400K logic cells, which interface directly to rear I/O via SERDES, LVDS and fiber. Each FPGA is supported by 16GB of 64-bit wide DDR4 (2 x Bank of 8GB) and 1GB flash. The rear panel fiber I/O is via six VITA 66.5 x12 modules, each of which can be populated as transmit or receive. The front panel fiber I/O is via SFP+. The two FPGAs are connected by four SERDES lanes for high speed communication and load sharing, and each has 16 high-speed SERDES routed to P1/P2.

The VPX551 includes Tier 2 platform health management/monitoring capability using VadaTech’s field-proven IPMI software. In addition an on-board management controller has the ability to access board sensors and manage FPGA image updates. The unit is available in a range of temperature and shock/vib specifications per ANSI/VITA 47, including conduction cooled up to V3 and OS2.

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.
