Alinx AXVU13P Virtex US+ XCVU13P FPGA Dev Board

The board features the AMD/Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ XCVU13P-2FHGB2104I FPGA. This high-end device, built on a 16nm FinFET process, is designed for extreme performance in data centers, high-speed networking, and advanced compute acceleration tasks, offering massive logic and DSP resources for complex designs.

The AXVU13P provides extensive expansion through three FMC+ (FPGA Mezzanine Card+) connectors. These connectors support a high number of single-ended and differential I/O lines, along with multiple GTY transceivers, enabling integration with a wide range of high-bandwidth daughter cards and custom modules for specific application requirements.

This board is highly optimized for AI/ML inference, capable of delivering up to 38 TOPs (Tera Operations Per Second) of DSP performance. The Virtex UltraScale+ architecture efficiently handles fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic, making it suitable for accelerating deep learning models and other compute-intensive algorithms at the edge or in data centers.

The AXVU13P includes a SODIMM slot for up to 16GB of high-speed DDR4 memory, providing substantial bandwidth for large datasets and complex algorithms. Additionally, it features two 128MB QSPI Flash modules, totaling 256MB, which are essential for storing FPGA bitstreams, configuration data, and system boot images.

The board boasts robust communication interfaces, including a PCIe Gen3 x16 slot for high-throughput host connectivity and an integrated 100G Ethernet MAC for high-speed networking. It also supports 150G Interlaken cores, facilitating very high-bandwidth chip-to-chip or board-to-board communication for network processing units.
