Overview

The Mercury SA1 system-on-chip (SoC) module combines Altera's Cyclone V ARM Processor-based SoC FPGA with fast DDR3 SDRAM, quad SPI flash, a 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 Altera Cyclone® V ARM® Processor-based SoC FPGA
  • Offers USB 2.0, PCIe® x4 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
  • Available in industrial-grade temperature range
  • Smaller than a credit card

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 DDR3L SDRAM
  • High-bandwidth data transfer; PCIe® x4 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, eCos and Android embedded operating systems

Design Services Enclustra provides services covering the whole range of FPGA-based system development: From high-speed hardware or HDL firmware through to prototype production. More> Drive ControllerThe Universal Drive Controller IP core enables the independent position and/or velocity control of up to 8 DC, BLDC or stepper motors directly from the SoC/FPGA. Optimized for superior performance and lowest total solution cost. More> Stream Buffer ControllerThe Stream Buffer Controller IP Core implements a versatile Stream to Memory Mapped DMA bridge with 16 independent streams. The IP core allows data buffering in an external memory device to provide virtual FIFO capability with up to 4 GB memory size. More> Display ControllerThe Display Controller IP Core enables the easy addition of a display to existing or future FPGA designs, allowing the system designer to focus on the main application instead of dealing with display control issues.
