Product overview

The XpressVUP-LP9PI2 is a low-profile PCIe board based on the AMD Virtex® UltraScale+™ VU9P FPGA, designed for critical and fanless embedded applications.

Equipped with dual QSFP28 cages supporting 10G/40G/100G Ethernet, this board delivers exceptional performance and connectivity in a compact form factor.

Its industrial temperature grade, passive two-slot heat sink, and acrylic coating ensure high reliability even in harsh environments.

With 16 GB of DDR4, 576 Mbit of QDR2+, and a PCIe Gen3 x16 interface, the XpressVUP-LP9PI2 is ideal for industrial systems and rugged defense applications requiring powerful data processing without active cooling.

If you are looking for a standard single-slot PCIe board, with a passive heatsink, check the XpressVUP-LP5/9P Virtex™ Ultrascale+™ VU5P/VU9P FPGA PCIe board.
If you are looking for more processing performances, with an active dual-slot heatsink, check the XpressVUP-LP9PT3 Virtex™ Ultrascale+™ VU9P-3 FPGA PCIe board.
For a board mounted on a conduction-cooled heat spreader, with an acrylic coating, specially designed for fanless industrial and rugged defense system applications, check the XpressVUP-LP9PI Virtex™ Ultrascale+™ VU9P FPGA PCIe board.
