VPX576

The VPX576 is a 6U VPX FPGA based on Xilinx XCVU13P FPGA with front I/O access. The module has an on-board, reconfigurable FPGA which interfaces directly to the VPX P1/P2/P3/P4 with high speed SERDES and LVDS/Single ended to P5. The SERDES are configurable to run multiple protocols such as PCIe, Aurora, SRIO, XAUI, 40G, 100G, etc. For the PCIe option the module could run as single x16/x8/x4.

The FPGA interfaces with two Analog Device AD9081 devices. The module takes direct RF Clock and distributes across the two devices. The two devices are synchronized.

The FPGA has dual bank of DDR-4 with total of 12GB. A single bank of DDR-4 64-bit wide (8GB) and single bank of DDR-4 32-bit wide (4GB).

The DACs could run @ 12 GSPS 16-bit wide and the ADCs could run @ 4 GSPS 12-bit wide.

The VPX576 has Quad QSFP28 ports in the front which could run as 100Gb Ethernet or any other protocols such as Aurora, SRIO, etc.

Further the module has a Zynq UltraScale+ FPGA which interfaces to the VU13 via x1 PCIe, dual x2 SERDES as well as single ended. The ZU04 has two GbE which is routed from the PS side to the P1 ports 15/16 and dual SERDES to the P1 Ports 13/14 from the PL side.

Onboard microcontroller implements Tier-2 health management.
