PLDA Introduces XpressGX5LP FPGA Design Kit
PLDA introduced their XpressGX5LP FPGA design kit. It is the first FPGA-based low-profile PCI Express form factor card featuring 40Gb of Ethernet connectivity and 8 GBytes of DDR3 SDRAM. It is delivered with PLDA’s PCIe 3.0 IP and full hardware 10G TCP stack IP, specifically optimized for the Altera Stratix V FPGA. The PLDA XpressGX5LP is shipping now and will available for volume orders in Q3 2012.
The PLDA XpressGX5LP FPGA design kit offers a complete design environment for applications using PCIe and 10GbE as their main communication interfaces. The XpressGX5LP low profile board is a highly integrated, low-profile PCI Express FPGA card with quad-10Gb Ethernet (40GbE) engineered for both prototyping and field deployment. The PCIe and Ethernet architecture designed into the PLDA XpressGX5LP is ideal for high demand applications including real-time network processing and high frequency trading.
