NAT-AMC-ZYNQUP-ECAT

With the NAT-AMC-ZYNQUP-ECAT, any embedded system based on the MTCA standard can be integrated as a slave node in an existing high-performance, real-time field bus system based on EtherCAT.

The core of the AMC is a XILINX Zynq Ultrascale+ SoC with 4 GB DDR4 RAM and QSPI FLASH. The SoC is linked to the backplane by two GbE interfaces on Ports 0/1, two PCIe-connections on AMC Ports 4/8, and (M)LVDS connections on Ports 12-15 as well as on Ports 17-20.

Moreover, the NAT-AMC-ZYNQUP-ECAT features an SFP-Connector at the front plate as general purpose I/O, and a Micro-USB jack as Serial- and JTAG-Interface. Due to 4 pairs of RJ45 connectors (100 Mbit), the AMC can be embedded into four different EtherCAT networks as Slave Node; the assignment is user-defined and handled by the SoC.
