PRO DESIGN unveils affordable Virtex 7 based FPGA module for multi FPGA prototyping

DAC 2013, GERMANY: PRO DESIGN, veteran in the EMS and EDA industry, announced the launch of its “proFPGA V7 Mini FPGA Module”, a very cost efficient FPGA module offering highest interface performance, for its successful and innovative product family of FPGA based prototyping solutions.

The proFPGA product series, released in December last year, is one of the most modular and flexible systems on the market, consisting of a motherboard, different kinds of FPGA modules with the latest Virtex 7 technology, a set of interconnection boards/cables, various daughter boards and an extensive software environment.

It addresses customers who need a flexible and high performance FPGA based prototyping solution for SoC design prototyping, real time system integration and pre silicon software development to reduce the time to market.

The new proFPGA V7 Mini FPGA Module is an additional option in the proFPGA product family. The user can choose, according to his needs, between various V7 Mini FPGA Modules, assembled with different Xilinx Virtex 7 FPGA devices like the XC7VX330T, the XC7VX485T, the XC7V585T or the XC7VX690T which vary widely in capacity, number and performance of high speed serial transceivers and especially price.

A single module offers a capacity of up to 4.2 million ASIC gates and up to 4 modules can easily be plugged on the proFPGA motherboard. The FPGA modules can also be used simply in combination with the already available proFPGA V7 XC7V2000T FPGA module, daughter cards, cables, proFPGA accessories and software.
