FM481 PMC Virtex-4 
FPGA Module with Optical I/O
BuiltWithNOF

Description

The FM481 is a high performance PMC module dedicated to high bandwidth communication. In addition to 4x 2.5Gbps optical tranceivers for Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet, the FM481 offers fast on-board memory resources and one Virtex-4 FX20/60 FPGA. The FM481 is based on the success of the FM482 and is essentially an FM482 without the second FPGA and QDR SRAM.
