IC-FEP-VPX6a
Virtex®-6 & QorIQ™ 6U VPX processing unit
The IC-FEP-VPX6a is a VPX hybrid processing engine coupling the latest generations of FPGAs and processor, both of them delivering a very high level of performance per watt. With its QorIQTM processor for system management and a PCIe advanced switch for a versatile coupling between the processing nodes, the IC-FEP VPX6a board expands the flexibility of the two Virtex-6 FPGAs and the VPX high bandwidth serial interfaces.
With its combination of high performance CPU, dual FPGAs and FMC sites, the IC-FEP-VPX6a provides the ideal platform for radar, sonar, electronic warfare and other very high demanding digital signal processing applications.
