2nd Generation Intel Core i7 Processor with Kintex FPGA - Model TIC-INT-VPX3a - 1

Core™ i7 Single Board Computer / Kintex 7 FPGA Description The TIC-INT-VPX3a is based on the Intel® Core™ i7 Gen2 processor (Sandy Bridge) and its companion chipset QM67 (Cougar Point). This generation of 64-bit multi-core mobile processors offers unmatched technology for intelligent performance. Its optimized multi-core architecture provides improved multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance, floating point processing (Intel® AVX) and integrated video features. The TIC-INT-VPX3a is also compliant with the Ivy Bridge (Intel® Core™ i7 Gen3). Featuring a Xilinx Kintex 7 FPGA and Personality Module, the TIC-INT-VPX3a is the perfect toolbox to build advanced integrated embedded systems. The TIC-INT-VPX3a is delivered with a boot loader allowing the user to develop optimized UEFI firmware for implementation of specific functions or services to further improve the power-up sequence. The 3U VPX TIC-INT-VPX3a can function as a system or non-system controller module in a VPX VITA 46 configuration. Processor options for this 2nd generation Core i7 single board computer include the dual core 2.2GHz 2655LE Core i7 or for more power constrained systems, the dual core 1.5GHz 2610UE Core i7 is also available as is the quad core 2.1GHz 2715QE version. The TIC-INT-VPX3a provides a flexible PCIe Gen2 backplane interface; the lanes from the processor can be used as two x4 ports (P1 A & B) or merged to provide a single x8 port. The lanes from the QM67 (P1 C) can be used as a single fat pipe or as four x1 ports for applications requiring multiple expansion boards. The TIC-INT-VPX3a does not use the PCIe switch to optimize latency in real-time applications. The TIC-INT-VPX3a offers one front GigE and two GigE ports on P1 available as 1000BT or 1000BX interfaces. The TIC-INT-VPX3a is compliant with these OpenVPX module profiles. The TIC-INT-VPX3a provides two HDMI interfaces and an HD audio port. A set of serial interfaces (USB and SATA ports) completes this complete set of I/O interfaces. For storage, the board also features a SATA SSD module and the option to add an additional SATA drive. The Kintex-7 FPGA connects to the Core i7 via PCIe x4 link and supports a variety of high bandwidth I/O communication protocols, GPIOs, video capture as well as other digital and analog I/O. A variety of IP cores can be provided by Elma to support specific I/O needs. The Kintex-7 delivers exceptional signal processing performance, low power consumption and the serial bandwidth necessary to meet the most demanding embedded applications. The FPGA is connected directly to the P2 connector (SERDES/ GPIOs) and also via a Personality Module to maximize the level of integration for hardware specific features.
