The Kintex UltraScale FPGA site can be populated with a range of FPGAs to match the specific requirements of the processing task, spanning the KU035 through KU115. The KU115 features 5520 DSP48E2 slices and is ideal for modulation/demodulation, encoding/decoding, encryption/decryption, and channelization of the signals between transmission and reception. For applications not requiring large DSP resources or logic, a lower−cost FPGA can be installed.
Option 104 installs the P14 PMC connector with 24 pairs of LVDS connections to the FPGA for custom I/O. Option 105 installs the P16 XMC connector with dual x4 gigabit links to the FPGA to support serial protocols.
