AMC-V6L is a competitively priced high performance FPGA-based interface and processing module. It is a single width, mid-size Advanced Mezzanine Card form factor. The module is ideal for a wide range of applications including wireless, general-purpose FPGA acceleration and I/O processing.

– Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA, either LX75T-2 or LX240T
– DDR3 SDRAM
– Two SFP+ sockets to support a CPRI or OBSAI antenna interface
– Full Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure
– Versatile clock recovery & distribution
– Single width, mid-size AMC card (full-size option available).

Front panel I/O is supported by dual SFP+ sockets which provide flexible, high-speed optical or electrical links at up to 6.25 Gbaud. These interfaces can be configured as CPRI, OBSAI, GigE, SRIO or other standards.

Based on Altera’s Stratix IV GX FPGA, BittWare’s S4-AMC (S4AM) is a mid-size, single wide AdvancedMC that can be attached to AdvancedTCA (Advanced Telecom Compute Architecture) carriers or other cards equipped with AMC bays, and used in MicroTCA systems. The S4AM features a high-density, low-power Altera Stratix IV GX FPGA designed specifically for serial I/O-based applications, creating a completely flexible, reconfigurable AMC. BittWare’s ATLANTiS FrameWork, in conjunction with the FINe Host/Control Bridge, greatly simplifies application development and integration of this powerful board. The board also provides an IPMI system management interface, a configurable 15 port AMC SerDes interface supporting a variety of protocols, and a front panel 4x SerDes interface supporting CPRI and OBSAI. Additionally, the board features 10/100 Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, two banks of DDR3 SDRAM, two banks of QDRII+ SRAM, and Flash memory for booting the FPGAs and FINe. Providing enhanced flexibility is the VITA 57-compliant FMC site which has an additional eight SerDes, 60 LVDS pairs, and six clocks.

Featuring a hybrid signal processing architecture that couples an Altera® Stratix® II FPGA with four ADSP-TS201S TigerSHARC® processors, BittWare’s B2-AMC (B2AM) is an AdvancedMC that supports universal baseband processing for wireless communications infrastructure such as 2G, 2.5G, 3G, WiMAX and SDR. A full-height, single wide AMC, the B2AM attaches to AdvancedTCA (Advanced Telecom Compute Architecture) carriers or other cards equipped with AMC bays and is completely hot-swappable. The B2AM combines an Altera Stratix II FPGA, four TigerSHARCs, a variety of front and back panel I/O interfaces, and a configurable 4x network interface supporting a variety of protocols. It also provides a 10/100 Ethernet interface and a Gigabit Ethernet interface for command, control, and reprogramming, as well as Flash memory for booting the DSPs and FPGAs.
