Global semiconductor shortage – very long lead times

The situation on the electronics market has been getting more and more difficult over the last six months. Lead times from our suppliers went up steadily, soaring to over a year for critical components. Besides the very long lead times, which we are trying to mitigate by increasing our buffer stock orders, Enclustra is faced with some component deliveries being postponed and even canceled last minute.

We are doing everything possible to meet delivery times. We are committed to communicating openly and promptly if there is any risk of delay. We are always working on improving shipping dates.

We sincerely appreciate all understanding and support from your side and encourage you to order at least one year ahead (up to two years possible). Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments regarding the situation.

Mercury+ XU6: The New Star in Our Portfolio

Enclustra is still expanding its already large portfolio of Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC based modules. For almost all applications, Enclustra is offering a module that helps to shorten time-to-market and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

The Mercury+ XU6 is based on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and is optimized for I/O-intensive applications. It offers up to 294 user I/Os, up to 8 6/12.5 Gbps MGTs and all common standard interfaces. Thanks to its 6 available variants, it covers a wide range of applications and opens the possibility for an easy, future upgrade.

Check out all the details or contact us to get more information about the Mercury+ XU6.

Update your embedded know-how for free

As every year, the Embedded Computing Conference imparts lots of know-how about embedded technology – directly targeting the industry. The only difference is that the conference now takes place virtual. This has the advantage that it is now even more efficient and accessible.

In its speech Enclustra presents how to simplify and speed the up development of FPGA based digital signal processing systems. Nowadays FPGAs often replace DSPs in industrial digital signal processing systems. Implementing digital signal processing with FPGAs used to be hard, because it had to be described with VHDL or Verilog. That’s why Enclustra developed a DSP Library for FPGA design. It enables you to assemble an entire digital signal processing system graphically in a very short time. The library includes FIR and CIC filters, CORDIC, function approximations, buffers and time-division multiplexing infrastructure, and supports both continuous-wave and pulse processing.

To further simplify and speed up development, the DSP Library also contains bit-true simulation models based on an open-source Python framework. This allows the exact functionality to be tested, simulated, and optimized with the full power and ease of Python.

We look forward to welcoming you on June 1^st.

We just updated our Reference Designs

Enclustra just released new and updated Reference Designs for all Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and Zynq SoC based System-on-Modules (SOM). They are available for Vivado as well as for Vitis. The extensive and in-detail documentation make getting started a snap.

At the same time we do now offer also Petalinux to build the Board Support Package (BSP). All steps to a successful build are described in detail in the BSP usage documentation. Give it a try and get your project started now!

Andromeda is on the horizon

With the Andromeda XZU90 Enclustra is presenting its first module in the brand new Andromeda form factor. The modular Andromeda System-on-Module (SOM) family is optimized for high-end applications. It supports up to 6 Samtec ADM6-60 high-speed connectors with up to 686 user I/Os.

Thanks to its built-in Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC ZU17EG/ZU19EG devices, the Andromeda XZU90 is the optimal solution for the most rugged and demanding applications. The SOM integrates up to 8 GByte fast DDR4 SDRAM with Error Correction Code (ECC), 16 GByte eMMC flash and 128 MByte quad SPI flash. For communication it offers up to 5 x PCIe Gen3 x16, Gigabit Ethernet PHY, USB 3.0 thanks to the 76 MGTs with up to 25 Gbit/sec – all on a tiny footprint of just 80 × 64 mm.
