PC821 UltraScale PCIe Card
PCIe Gen3 with 1xFMC+ and 1xFMC Expansion SiteFEATURES:• Virtex UltraScale (XCVU080,XCVU095, XCVU125) orKintex UltraScale (XCKU085,XCKU095, XCKU115)• PCIe Gen3 x8• 1x Primary FMC+ HSPC (front)• 1x Secondary FMC HPC (rear)• DDR4-2133 SDRAM SO-DIMM• 1Gb FPGA configuration Flash• 256Mb Serial Flash• Single-lane SFP+ interface• Bidirectional x8 FireFlyconnection (optional)• CPLD on board• Standalone Operation (optional)

The PC821 is a high-performance, PCIExpress card with advanced DSP capabilities
and multiple I/O options. It supports one
VITA 57.4-compliant HSPC FPGA Mezzanine
Cards (FMCs) and one VITA 57.1 compliant
HPC FMC site. Both FMC sites are closely
coupled to the Virtex or Kintex UltraScale
FPGA and a DDR4-2133 SDRAM SODIMM. The PC821’s PCIe Gen3 interface
can support up to eight lanes. The cardfeatures a single-lane SFP+ module as aserial peripheral interface. An eight-lane
14 Gbps FireFly connector is also available
as an optional serial peripheral interface.
The FireFly connection can be madeaccessible either from inside the chassis or,alternatively, from the bezel if the SPF +cage is removed. The PC821 is an excellent
choice for high-performance applications
that require large-band signal digitization or
generation through the use of accelerated
frequency domain algorithms.
ANSI/VITA 47

FMC Options
The PC821 offers one FMC+ and one FMC
site connected to the FPGA. The first FMC
site is located on the front side of the board;
it remains within the envelope of the singleslot PCIe card when populated. Optionally,a second FMC+ site is available on the backside of the PC821. The IOs of the secondary
FMC occupy the front panel of the adjacent
PCIe slot.
For more information about the Abaco
Systems FMCs that can be used on thePC821, please visit www.abaco.com.
We offer a wide range of ADC, DAC
and DSP modules.
Standalone Operation
For a lab test environment or custom system,
the PC821 can be run in a standalone mode
where power is supplied through an industry
standard power connector.
