Overview

The Mercury+ PE1 is versatile PCIe® base board with 3 models for Mercury (Mercury PE1-200) and Mercury+ (Mercury PE1-300/400) form factor FPGA and SoC modules, providing a head start for building custom FPGA and SoC based hardware systems. It supports up to two FMC low pin count (LPC) connectors, or one FMC high pin count (HPC) connector.

Highlights

• Compatible with all Mercury & Mercury+ FPGA modules
• Offers PCIe® Gen2 x4, USB 3.0 and multiple USB 2.0 interfaces
• I/O interfaces for almost all applications
• Suitable from prototype to series production
• Standard PCI Express card solution size (160 × 111.2 mm, PCB only)
• Can also be used as a standalone board (not as PCIe card)

Benefits

• Compatible with a multitude of FMC board from different suppliers (data acquisition, motor control, display & camera interfaces, software defined radio)
• Access of USB memory sticks, USB printers, USB Wi-Fi adapters etc. due to the USB host interface (SoC Modules only)
• USB 3.0 communication for transfers up to 300+ MBytes/sec
• High-Speed FPGA and flash programming over USB from a host PC
• PCIe support
• SoC boot from SD-card
• Simple integration due to a single 5 to 12V supply voltage

Features

• Hirose FX10 connectors for Mercury/Mercury+ modules
• Low-jitter clock generator (PE1-300/400)
• System monitor (PE1-300/400)
• System controller
• Power control (PE1-300/400)
• Current sense (PE1-300/400)
• microSD card holder
• PCIe Gen2 ×4 interface
• USB 3.0 device interface
• 4 × USB 2.0 host interface
• Micro USB 2.0 device (UART, SPI, I2C, JTAG) interface
• 2 × RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
• mPCIe/mSATA card holder (USB only) (PE1-300/400)
• SIM card holder (optional, PE1-300/400 only)
• MGT and SMAclock in/out (optional, PE1-300/400 only)
• 1 × FMC LPC connector (PE1-200)
• 1 × FMC HPC connector (PE1-300)
• 2 × FMC LPC connector (PE1-400)
• 2 × 40-pin Anios pin header
• 3 × 12-pin Pmod™ pin header
• 5 to 12V DC supply voltage
• USB bus power (with restrictions)

Please note that the available features depend on the equipped Mercury FPGA/SoC Module and the selected PE1 board model.
