X-ES Announces Rugged, Configurable XPedite2500 XMC Module with High-Density AMD (formerly Xilinx) Kintex® UltraScale™ FPGA
Formidable Signal Processing Capabilities on an XMC Form Factor
Introducing the XPedite2500, a rugged XMC module based on the high‑performance AMD (formerly Xilinx) Kintex® UltraScale™ XCKU115 FPGA.
Featuring the highest density of logic elements in its family, up to 8 GB of DDR4 SDRAM in four independent channels, and numerous options for high-bandwidth I/O, this mezzanine card is a powerful, yet cost-effective, solution for a wide range of embedded applications.
High-Density FPGA Arrives on the Mezzanine
The XPedite2500 is the first mezzanine card from X-ES to feature the AMD (formerly Xilinx) Kintex® UltraScale™ family of FPGAs and it is based on the Kintex® UltraScale™ XCKU115, which has the highest density of logic elements in the Kintex® UltraScale™ family. This user-programmable device boasts ample resources for high-end logic and signal processing.
These devices provide an ideal blend of performance and cost-effectiveness for the next generation of embedded applications, delivering the best price/performance/watt at 20 nm and the highest signal processing bandwidth in a mid-range device.

Flexible Design Accommodates Many Applications
System integration possibilities abound with the XPedite2500, which offers a versatile XMC processing solution that can be installed in both VPX and VME systems. Featuring up to 8 GB of DDR4 SDRAM in four independent channels and numerous options for high-bandwidth I/O, this card is equipped to process streaming data from a wide array of inputs.
In addition to a x8 PCI Express Gen3 interface on the P15 connector, it has up to eight High-Speed Serial ports on the P16 connector, which can optionally be configured as a second x8 PCI Express interface. Nineteen LVDS pairs are available on P16, while an optional P14 connector adds 26 more LVDS pairs and 12 LVCMOS for user I/O.
Simplified Software Development with the X-ES FPGA Dev. Kit
Whatever the application, getting started on development is easy with the X-ES FPGA Development Kit (FDK) for AMD (formerly Xilinx) Vivado.
The X-ES FDK includes IP blocks, HDL, test benches, Linux drivers, and complete example designs for the XPedite2500.
