Summary

The ADM-VPX3-9V2 is a high-performance reconfigurable 3U OpenVPX format board based on the AMD Virtex UltraScale Plus range of Platform FPGAs.

This board features the VU9P or VU13P top-end Ultrascale+ FPGAs combined with 16GB of DDR4 memory arranged in 4 independent banks. This board is extremely well suited for high bandwidth switching applications, processing data coming in and out of the VPX backplane and optionally through the front panel optical connections available via the Firefly connectors. The board can also be configured as a very high bandwidth processing offload accelerator within VPX systems for applications such as Radar, Signal processing and Machine Learning which can utilize the very high DSP performance of the top-end VU9P and VU13P Ultrascale+ FPGA devices. The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ influenced the development of this board and the ADM-VPX3-9V2 is aligned with the SOSA™ Technical Standard.
