AMD Artix UltraScale+ XCAU15P FPGA Development Board ADK-AU15
AMD Artix UltraScale+ XCAU15P FPGA Development Board ADK-AU15
The ADK-AU15 is an FPGA development board built around the AMD Xilinx Artix UltraScale+ XCAU15P, pairing the ACAU15 core board with an expansion board. The expansion board integrates a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, FMC HPC expansion, Gigabit Ethernet and more. The core board carries a 16 nm Artix UltraScale+ device that delivers an excellent performance-per-watt ratio, with transceivers up to 16.3 Gb/s for advanced protocols and strong DSP processing power, matching I/O bandwidth to compute for cost-sensitive, low-power applications - machine vision, secure networking, 4K broadcast, industrial IoT and edge markets.
Eight high-speed transceivers connect to the FMC HPC interface’s dedicated high-speed pins, so FMC daughter cards such as HDMI input/output modules, high-speed AD modules, SDI input/output modules, optical fibre modules, binocular camera modules, Cameralink and GMSL camera modules can be attached for free expansion and high-speed transmission, suiting development across many fields.
