The Versatile FPGA Platform provides a cost-effective way of undertaking COMPLEX calculations and HIGH SPEED communications in an industrial environment.
The card, which is in PCI Express 4x format, is highly modular, thanks to a wide choice of FPGAs and to an entirely new connector (VITA 57), enabling it to be connected to various mezzanine interface cards.
