NAT-AMC-ZYNQUP-FMC: FMC Carrier AMC with XILINX Zynq Ultrascale+ FPGA MPSoC

AMC for data acquisition & signal processing applications and computing nodes based on MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA

The NAT-AMC-ZYNQUP-FMC is an AdvancedMC (AMC) featuring a Xilinx Zynq® Ultrascale+ FPGA MPSoC and an FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) slot. This single-wide, mid- or full-size AMC is designed for data acquisition and processing applications and computing nodes. The Zynq® Ultrascale+ FPGA MPSoC provides the software programmability of an ARM®-based processor with the hardware programmability of an FPGA, enabling key analytics and hardware acceleration while integrating CPU, DSP, ASSP, and mixed signal functionality on a single device.

This module combines that performance with the ability to add functionality through a wide range of off-the-shelf FMCs, including analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, digital I/O and RF modules. N.A.T. can also customize this module to suit your application.
