Overview

The Mercury+ AA1 system-on-chip (SoC) module combines Intel's Arria 10 ARM Processor-based SoC FPGA with fast DDR4 ECC SDRAM, eMMC flash, quad SPI flash, Gigabit Ethernet PHY and an RTC and thus forms a high-performance embedded processing solution, combining the flexibility of a CPU system with the raw, real-time parallel processing power of an FPGA.

Highlights

• Built around the Intel Arria® 10 ARM® Processor-based SoC FPGA
• Offers USB 3.0, PCIe® Gen3 x8 and Gigabit Ethernet interface
• DDR4 SDRAM with Error Correction Code (ECC)
• 9.6 GByte/s memory bandwith
• Available in industrial-grade temperature range
• Smaller than a credit card
• Linux BSP and tool chain available
• Powerful and compact FPGA board

Benefits

• A complete and powerful embedded processing system in a compact, space-saving form factor
• Large, high-bandwidth memory, with up to 4 GByte of DDR4 ECC SDRAM
• High-bandwidth data transfer: PCIe® Gen3 x8 interface, and a high number of available LVDS pairs provide high-speed data I/O at low integration cost
• Lowest power consumption due to the high-efficiency DC/DC converters
• Support for Linux operating systems
