HES-MPF500-M2S150

Capacity

The board HES-MPF500-M2S150 includes one Microchip PolarFire MPF500T FPGA logic module and one SmartFusion2 M2S150 SoC host module featuring ARM Cortex-M3. The board features a unique integration of a Microchip SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA and PolarFire FPGA.

Available onboard external memory resources include DDR4 SODIMM slot and 2x 8Gb DDR3 memory (16Gb total). The board contains PCIe x4 interface switchable between FPGA and SoC modules and two QSFP+ connectors for high-bandwidth low-latency communications. The FMC connector compliant with ANSI/VITA 57.1 standard provides easy extensibility which can be used by Aldec FMC HPC connectors.

Clocking

Clocking is provided by oscillators and PLLs. Dedicated oscillators are connected directly to the FPGA devices as well as onboard PLLs. The onboard PLLs provide any-frequency common clocks for both FPGA devices and dedicated any-frequency clocks to the MPF500T to accommodate a variety of applications. Clocking can also be provided through the FMC connector through thirteen (13) differential clock inputs to the MPF500T.

 

Hosting & Interfaces

The board is connected to a workstation or server through the board’s PCIe x4 edge connector. A wide variety of interfaces are available to be connected to the FPGA devices.
