HENDERSON, Nev., 28 Nov. 2014. VadaTech Inc. in Henderson, Nev., is introducing the AMC518 embedded computing module in the Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) form factor that uses the Xilinx Zynq all programmable field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based system on chip (SoC).

The AMC518 AMC enables systems designers to plug a FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) per VITA 57 into the carrier. The unit has an on-board, re-configurable FPGA which interfaces to the AMC FCLKA, TCLKA-D, FMC DP0-7 and all FMC LA/HA/HB pairs.

The AMC518 has a clock and jitter cleaner which helps provide clean signals. The FPGA has an interface to one DDR3 memory channel (64-bit wide). This allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuing the data to the host.

The Zynq SoC provides a tight integration of ARM processors and a programmable logic fabric FPGA.
