Overview

The Mercury+ KX2 module offers the best performance-to-price-ratio Xilinx Kintex-7 28nm FPGAs in conjunction with the standard interfaces like USB 2.0, PCIe Gen2 and Gigabit Ethernet.

With powerful FPGA and standard interfaces, many LVDS-capable I/Os, large DDR3 SDRAM and many high-speed DSP slices, the KX2 is as well-suited for high-end digital signal processing, communications and networking as it is for high-speed I/O applications.

The Mercury+ KX2 FPGA board reduces development effort, redesign risk and improves time-to-market.

Large Heat Dissipation

High performance devices like the Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC or Intel Arria 10 need cooling in most applications: always make sure the FPGA/SoC is adequately cooled.

The Mercury Heat Sink is an optimal cooling solution for Mercury and Mercury+ FPGA and SoC modules – it is low-profile and covers the whole module surface1.

The Mercury heatsink is provided as part of a heatsink accessory package including:

  • Heatsink body
  • Mounting material
  • Standard fan
  • Gap pad set

Design-in Kit – The Fast Way to the Market
