CommAgility AMC V5F-10G

Overview 

The CommAgility AMC-V5F-10G is a single width, full-size Advanced Mezzanine Card. It is aimed at the latest wireless baseband applications as well as other high performance FPGA processing and optical data interfacing applications.
 
The 10 Gbps SFP+ optical interface is a key feature of the AMC-V5F-10G. As well as supporting standard XAUI links this interface can uniquely be configured to support CPRI at a 16x rate of 9.8304 Gbps for advanced multi-rate LTE applications, giving clock synchronization through the optical link. In addition there are two standard SFP interfaces which can be configured for a range of interfaces such as CPRI, OBSAI, Gigabit Ethernet or RapidIO. Clock stability and synchronization for wireless applications is achieved through an on-board OCXO based PLL.
 
A Xilinx Virtex-5 LX110T FPGA provides the main processing. This configures and boots from FLASH on reset, using one of 4 selectable configuration images which are customer programmable and can be updated over Ethernet. The FPGA is fully customer configurable.
