Summary

The ADA-VPX3-KU1 assembly is based on the AMD Kintex UltraScale range of Platform FPGAs, bringing together the power and configurability of the ADM-XRC-KU1 FPGA module in a 3U VPX format.

Features include PCI Express Gen2 interface, external memory, high density I/O, system monitoring and flash boot facilities.
A comprehensive cross platform API with support for Microsoft Windows, Linux and VxWorks provides access to the full functionality of these hardware features.
Placing the PCI Express bridge in bypass allows the creation of a Gen 2 x8 PCI Express endpoint design directly into the target FPGA. Target FPGAs KU060 and KU115 can also support Gen3 x8 PCI Express designs.
The conduction-cooled variant uses a single-piece heatplate, profiled to match both the carrier and FPGA boards and provide optimal cooling performance.
