Aurora FPGA Integration

Aurora 64B/66B FPGA Code Module

Lowest latency, high bandwidth serial communications between multiple Speedgoat FPGA I/O modules and external devices with on-board FPGA

This FPGA code module offers a flexible way of implementing multi-gigabit links between multiple Simulink-programmable FPGA Modules, and external devices with on-board FPGA.

Common use cases

Demanding closed-loop controls and plant simulation applications where algorithms run on one or multiple Simulink^®-programmable FPGAs, and where hundreds of fast analog and digital I/O lines provided by multiple FPGAs are required at the same time
Acquisition and signal generation of very fast analog and digital I/O, also requiring data exchange and synchronization between multiple FPGAs
Distributed controller and HIL systems setups connected with isolating fiber optic SFP+ transceivers and cabling

Key Specifications

Available for internal FPGA to FPGA I/O module communication via high speed SAMTEC copper cabling, or external fiber optic communication leveraging SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers
Full-duplex (independent data transfer in both directions) or simplex (data transfer in either one of the direction) implementations available
Default line rate 3.125 Gsps. Lines rates up to 12.5 Gsps can be supported with the IO342 Kintex Ultrascale FPGA I/O module
