TECHWAY releases cost-effective PCIe carrier-boards with VITA 57.4 site based on Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ System-on-Chip (SoC).

TECHWAY announces new PCIe SoC platforms with an FMC+ site, called PFP-ZU+ that are based on Xilinx MPSoC devices. TECHWAY has 12+ years of development experience in Xilinx FPGA-based PCIe platforms with FMC/FMC+ interfaces. Thanks to their know-how, they offer cost-effective solutions to help bring the SoC technology into industrial applications.

The platforms are 100% compliant with the FMC+ standard, PFP-ZU+ fit all VITA 57.1 and VITA 57.4 mezzanine cards. Thanks to this compliance, PFP-ZU+ can serve any protocols and interfaces. As a multi-purpose board, PFPZU+ is a “swiss-knife” for real-time applications. The boards are a perfect fit for system integrators who are looking for reducing development time thanks to ready-to-integrate boards.

The PFP-ZU+’s versatility comes from useful features including a fully FMC+ site, DDR4, and RLDRAM2 memories, multiple boot options, etc. Users can access multiple interfaces (Ethernet, Display Port, USB) from the ARM-based Processing System, allowing them to easily design stand-alone equipment without a PC host.

A new FireFly™ module, available in option, allows high-speed optical communication. This module provides direct and easy access to data. PFP-ZU+ is the perfect match between real-time multi-core ARM processors and high-performance UltraScale+ programmable logic. PFP-ZU+ features the Xilinx ZU7CG or ZU11EG devices to optimize performance/price ratio for high-end applications. PFP-ZU+ can be easily used in a standard PC environment with a full development kit available for both Windows and Linux or in your enclosure as stand-alone equipment.
