First dual Kintex-7 network processor FPGA card
“Engaging with Xilinx early in the 7 Series FPGA rollout has enabled us to get a head-start in our development and deliver cutting edge FPGA technology to our customers,” said Neil Harold, project manager at Nallatech. “We have worked closely with key customers to ensure we met their requirements so it’s exciting to see them developing with the PCIe-287N and running applications on the two Kintex-7 FPGAs.”
The architecture of the PCIe-287N is well suited to a number of applications including real-time network filtering and high frequency trading. The two Kintex-7 FPGAs are directly coupled to four SFP+ ports supporting a range of Ethernet protocols including 1 and 10GbE, SONET and OTN. Each FPGA utilizes multiple independent banks of high-bandwidth, QDR-II+ SRAM and DDR3 SDRAM to support random access and deep storage. A third FPGA provides a PCI Express interface supporting sustained bandwidths up to 5GBytes/sec.
Glasgow-based Nallatech is now a subsidiary of Interconnect Systems Inc in the US and designs and manufactures FPGA products for high performance computing applications and rugged embedded computing platforms.
