ASIC Prototyping Solution

Product Summary
The proFPGA duo SG280 system is a complete and modular multi FPGA solution, which meets highest requirements in the area of FPGA based Prototyping. It addresses customers who need a scalable and flexible high speed ASIC Prototyping solution for early software development and real time system verification. The innovative system concept offers highest flexibility and reusability, reconfigurability for several projects, which guarantees the best return on invest.

Highest Flexibility
The system architecture is based on a modular and scalable system concept. The FPGAs are assembled on dedicated FPGA modules, which will be plugged on the proFPGA uno, duo or quad mother board. This offers the highest flexibility to use for example different FPGA types in one system or to scale a system in increments of one FPGA. The user has access to almost all I/Os of the FPGA, which gives him maximum freedom regarding the FPGA inter connection structure. This way the prototyping system can be adapted in the best way to any user design. Furthermore the system offers a total of 16 extension sites on the top and bottom site for standard proFPGA or user specific extension boards like DDR4 memory, PCIe gen1/2/3, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 or other high performance interface and interconnection boards.

Maximum Performance
The well designed boards of the proFPGA system are optimized and trimmed to guarantee best signal integrity and to achieve highest performance. The high speed boards together with specific high speed connectors allow a maximum point to point speed of up to 1.0 Gbps single ended over the standard FPGA I/O and up to 17.4 Gbps differential over the high speed serial transceivers of the FPGA. This performance combined with the high interconnection flexibility allows the designer to run his design at maximum speed in the proFPGA system.

Biggest Capacity
Equipped with up to two Intel® Stratix® 10 SG280 FPGA modules, the proFPGA duo system can handle up to 40 M ASIC gates on only one board. Due to the fact, that multiple proFPGA quad or duo systems can be connected to an even larger system, there is an unli- mited scalability and no theoretical maximum in capacity.

Very User Friendly
The proFPGA prototyping system provides an extensive set of features and tools, like remote system configuration, integrated self and performance test, automatic board detection, automatic I/O voltage programming, system scan and safety mechanism, which simplifies the usage of the FPGA based system tremendously.

Advanced Clock Management (ACM)

  • The proFPGA system uses an innovative dual-stage clock generator architecture. Each proFPGA motherboard is capable of distributing up to 8 true asynchronous master beats. Each master beat may be used to derive a virtually unlimited number of clock domains inside the FPGAs. With the unique proFPGA synchronization scheme, clock domains and associated reset signals can be generated fully phase-synchronous over all FPGAs on the motherboard and over multiple motherboards.
