Vivado Board Definitions News Training Contact Sales Description Specification HES7XV12000BP Prototyping and Emulation Main Board Capacity Aldec’s large capacity board that features Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA technology contains six XC7V2000T logic modules and is the most advanced in the market one piece PCB prototyping board of Virtex-7 family. It is targeted to high speed physical prototyping and emulation of complex ASIC and SoC designs. The board provides estimated capacity of 72 Million gates and is easily extendable via backplane and daughter card non-proprietary connectors (BPX & FMC). Two of six Virtex-7 FPGA modules are connected with four DDR3 SO-DIMM slots to support up to 32 GB of aggregated memory. Larger capacity of 288 Million gates can be achieved with four HES7XV12000BP boards connected in the backplane board HES7BPX4. Highest I/O count packages of Virtex-7 devices and proper on-board traces routing assure reliable LVDS and GTX transfers up to the device inherent limits. Clocking Very precisely designed clocking block provides 5 global clock lines routed to each FPGA device. It provides multiple configuration options due to integrating different oscillators, programmable clock synthesizers and crosspoint switch multiplexers. The global clock network can be also driven from external sources via dedicated SMA connectors as well as from backplane and daughter card sockets. The global clock network is based on LVDS signalling to assure high level of signals integrity and immunity to distractions. Complementary to global clocks there are separate clock oscillators dedicated to GTX links and DDR memories. Hosting & Interfaces The board configuration and monitoring controller is preloaded in a dedicated FPGA (Spartan-6) and provides USB based interface that is used by Hes.Asic.Proto board configuration and management software available on Linux and Windows host PC. Additional Virtex-7 FPGA can be used as a host bridge with standard interfaces like PCIe x8 Gen3, USB 3.0, QSFP+ and SATA. Ready to use, PCIe host controller is preloaded in Virtex-7 FPGA and the corresponding HES PCIe driver is included. Usage of this host controller is facilitated due to Proto-AXI interface module IP that is based on AMBA AXI standard and accompanying high abstraction level C++ API. Besides physical prototyping this board can be reused for HES emulation applications like simulation acceleration or co-emulation with virtual models.
