Virtex-6 FPGA ML628 Characterization Kit

Product Details

• Board Accessories

Documentation

• ML628 Documentation

Device Family Support

• Virtex-6 HXT

The Xilinx Virtex®-6 FPGA ML628 Characterization Kit provides the hardware environment for characterizing and evaluating the GTX(6.6Gbps)  and GTH (11.18Gbps)  transceivers of  the on-board Virtex-6 HX380T  FPGA (up to 11.18Gbps). Each GTX and GTH Quad and its associated reference clock are routed from the FPGA to a connector pad which is designed to interface with Samtec BullsEye connectors.
