COMBO FPGA Boards

The new generation of COMBO cards is now available! It has been designed by our developers with ten-years experience in programmable hardware focused on wire-speed processing of network data. It reflects the newest trends and current needs in this area. The COMBO cards have been developed to accelerate time-critical and high-speed applications especially from the network area (1-10 gigabit network processing). The new generation of cards is described below:

• We introduce new powerful FPGA mothercard COMBO-LXT designed as an PCI Express x8 card of second generation of the COMBO cards. COMBO-LXT card is equipped with the XILINX Virtex5 XC5VLX155T, QDRII RAM and socket for DDR2 SODIMM memory. The interface add-on cards can by connected either through Low Speed Connectors or high speed Interface Connectors.
• We introduce new network interface add-on cards (COMBOI-10G2, COMBOI-1G4) with various network technologies support (1 Gbps copper/optical, 10 Gbps optical). The add-on cards provide physical network interfaces to the mothercards.

General Features

• PCI-Express x8 interface
• Optimized for packet-processing applications - equipped with QDR II SRAM, SODIM DDR2 DRAM
• Throughput up to 28 Gbps
