FM482 PMC Dual Virtex-4 
FPGA Module with Optical I/O
BuiltWithNOF

Description

The FM482 is a high performance PMC-X module dedicated to digital signal processing applications with high bandwidth and complex algorithms requirements. In addition to 4x 2.5Gbps optical tranceivers for serial FPDP and Gigabit Ethernet, the FM482 offers various interfaces, fast on-board memory resources and two Virtex-4 FPGAs. It can be utilized, for example, to accelerate frequency-domain algorithms with off-the-shelf Intellectual Property cores for applications that require the highest level of performances.
