EK-V7-VC707-G Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA VC707 Evaluation Kit

Product Description

The Virtex®-7 FPGA VC707 Evaluation Kit is a full-featured, highly-flexible, high-speed serial base platform using the Virtex-7 XC7VX485T-2FFG1761C and includes basic components of hardware, design tools, IP, and pre-verified reference designs for system designs that demand high-performance, serial connectivity and advanced memory interfacing. The included pre-verified reference designs and industry-standard FPGA Mezzanine Connectors (FMC) allow scaling and customization with daughter cards.

Key Features & Benefits

• 40Gb/s Connectivity platform for high-bandwidth and high-performance applications using Virtex-7 VX485T FPGAs
