PCIe FMC Carrier with AMD Virtex-7 FPGA, 8 Lane PCIe GEN2, SODIMM SDRAM (TEC0330-05)

The predecessor of this article is TEC0330-04. All changes are in the Product Change Notification (PCN).

Note: Carrier without pads for conduction cooling!

The Trenz Electronic TEC0330 is a PCI Express form factor card (PCIe 2.0 or higher) integrating the AMD Virtex-7 XC7VX330T FPGA chip. This high-end FPGA card is designed for maximum system performance and intended for use in applications with high demands on system throughput. There is a SO-DIMM socket on the board for standard DDR3 SDRAM extension memory module.

The TEC0330 features HPC (High Pin Count) ANSI/VITA 57.1 compatible FMC interface connector for standard I/O Mezzanine modules. Other interface connectors found on-board include JTAG for accessing FPGA and on-board System Controller CPLD, and also connector with 5 high-speed I/O differential signaling pairs.

The TEC0330 FPGA board is intended to be used as add-on card in a PCIe 2.0 or higher capable host systems, it can not be used as a stand-alone device.
