Ares carrier board

Product overview

The Ares Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series system-on-module carrier board is an evaluation board with a FMC+ connector.

This evaluation Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series board was designed to complement the reflex ces Module.

The target applications of our Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series carrier board include bioscience, high-precision measurement, radar systems, satellite communication and electronic warfare.

The Ares carrier board is fully compatible with the Ares Module.

Benefits & features

  • Fully compatible with the Ares module
  • FMC+ HPC connector
  • Up to 24 transceivers @28G NRZ (or 58G PAM 4)
  • Designed to be embedded

 

Our Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series carrier board is a development board specially created to facilitate the board design of the Ares Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series system-on-module. This carrier board was designed based on customer requirements. It is sized to fit the embedded Ares FPGA module perfectly.

This evaluation board is programmable, and can be used for prototyping and production volumes.

The Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series SOM, working alongside the Ares Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series carrier board, is based on the Intel® Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series FPGA.

 

Our Ares Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series carrier board is specially designed for customer needs.
