UltraScale FPGA board scales to 600 million gates

US-based Pro Design has come up with a kit for prototyping Xilinx Virtex UltraScale XCVU440 FPGAs and will demonstrate it at next month’s Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Francisco.

Scalable from 1 up to 4 pluggable Xilinx Virtex UltraScale XCVU440 based FPGA modules the Quad system offers a capacity of up to 120 million Asic gates.

Up to five Quad systems with overall 20 FPGA modules can be easily connected together to increase the capacity up to 600 million gates.

Pro Design also has a development system called Uno for IP or sub designs development and can reuse the FPGA modules for complete SoC and Asic prototyping by plugging the same proFPGA Virtex 7 or UltraScale FPGA modules on a Duo or Quad motherboard.

There are also motherboards, FPGA modules, daughter cards and accessories which can be used in combination with the proFPGA XCVU440 FPGA modules.

The system comes with the proFPGA Builder software, which provides an extensive set of features, like advanced clock management, integrated self- and performance test, automatic board detection and I/O voltage programming, system scan- and safety mechanism, and quick remote system configuration and monitoring through USB, Ethernet or PCIe, which simplifies the usage of the proFPGA system tremendously.

The systems are available for early adopter customers with general availability in Q4 2015.
