Based on the latest AMD 20nm FPGA family, the IC-FEP-VPX6e enhances the Front-End Processing (FEP) Interface Concept product line.
By offering a higher performance/power consumption ratio compared to previous FPGAs, the UltraScale™ FPGAs make the IC-FEP-VPX6e the perfect solution to applications requiring DSP intensive processing in a 6U VPX form factor.
The IC-FEP-VPX6e together with other IC building blocks (Intel® and PowerPC SBCs, Ethernet Switches & Routers, FMC) running our Signal Processing Reference Design, are the ideal platforms for customers who want to streamline development by concentrating their efforts on their most strategical tasks.
