DATASHEETVP868 Dual
UltraScale 6U VPXDual FMC+ Sites, on Board Zynq Processor, OpenVPXThe VP868 is a high-performance 6U OpenVPX FPGA processing board featuring two
Xilinx®UltraScale™ FPGAs and a Zynq®
7000 Series multiprocessor system-onchip (MPSoC). It is designed for the mostdemanding mission critical military/defense/
industrial applications where extreme
FPGA processing and I/O bandwidth
capabilities are needed. Applications include
electronic warfare, electronic intelligent,signal intelligence, radar/sonar, and High
Performance Embedded Computing.

Extreme I/O BandwidthWith 72 high speed serial lanes to thebackplane, the VP868 is capable of extreme
communication bandwidth up to 900Gb/s.
The VP868 is customizable with two VITA
57.4 FMC+ sites. With the FMC+, users haveaccess to 24 high speed serial lanes and80 LVDS lanes per site, enabling advanced
I/O with Abaco’s wide portfolio of highperformance FPGA mezzanine cards (FMC).
Whether you need ultra-wideband low-latency
analog interfaces for electronic warfare
applications or high-density synchronous
channels for synthetic aperture radar (SAR),the VP868 is powerful and flexible enough toaccommodate a broad array of applications.

Flexible and Upgradable
The VP868 was built with flexibility andupgradability in mind. The two Ultrascale
FPGAs can be configured with both Kintex™
and Virtex™ class devices, including amigration path to Ultrascale+™ - giving
the user many options to choose fromdepending on performance, cost, andpower constraints. In line with Abaco’s
commitment to maximizing return on
customer investment and minimizing
long term cost of ownership, the VP868
mitigates the impact of obsolescence forexisting or future customers by allowing
for rapid migration to future FPGA devices,while its adherence to industry standards
assures both flexibility and longevity.

The Zynq 7000 device, in some
applications, removes the need for aseparate single board computer, reducing
total system size weight and power(SWaP). The Zynq 7000 comes preloadedwith a functional Linux operating systemreference design.
For customers who don’t require the entire
breadth of bandwidth and processing
power, the VP868 can be configured witha subset of on-board devices with theVP840 option.
SecureThe Zynq 7000 Series MPSoC, as wellas the two Ultrascale+ devices, bringmany security features to enable bit file
encryption to protect the most sensitiveand mission critical IP.

Ready for your innovation
The VP868 board support package isdelivered with a complete set of open
reference designs for each device andinterface, giving you the ultimate control
and flexibility to customize and integrate
your IP and have a truly custom, optimized
capability on a COTS platform.
