Modules

KR Achronix SoM: High-speed connectivity and powerful processing capabilities for demanding applications, leveraging Achronix Speedster7t FPGA technology.

A compact, high end module that features an Achronix Speedster AC7t1500 part embedded in a most versatile design so that it can be optimally utilized in a multitude of applications. Only a 12V supply is required as all FPGA and RAM voltages are generated on board. Everything from power sequencing, configuration and clock generation is implemented on board. On-board quad QSPI memories allow for quick configuration. Our proven housekeeping bus ensure that this SoM can be integrated in a robust multi FPGA/SoM design with deterministic, system-wide power up behavior.
