Product overview

The XpressVUP-LP5/9PT2 Virtex® Ultrascale+™ VU5P / VU9P FPGA PCIe board is a low-profile PCIe network processing FPGA board.
The XpressVUP-LP5/9PT2 Virtex® Ultrascale+™ VU5P / VU9P FPGA PCIe board is either based on a AMD Virtex® Ultrascale+™ VU5P FPGA, or on a AMD Virtex® Ultrascale+™ VU9P FPGA. The device provides the highest performance and integration capabilities in a 14 nm/16 nm FinFET node, the VU9P offering more System Logic Cells.
The board provides 2 banks of DDR4, 2 banks of QDR2+ memories, and two QSFP28 cages for multi 10 GbE/40 GbE/100 GbE networking solutions.
The FPGA board is delivered with a PCIe standard or low-profile bracket, and was specifically designed to optimize embedded applications.
This low-profile PCIe board is designed for computationally intensive applications, from HPC to networking.
