by: AMD

The Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA VCU118 Evaluation Kit is the ideal development environment for evaluating the cutting edge Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs.

Overview

Product Description

The Virtex™ UltraScale+™ FPGA VCU118 Evaluation Kit is the ideal development environment for evaluating the cutting edge Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs. Virtex UltraScale+ devices provide the highest performance and integration capabilities in a FinFET node, including both the highest serial I/O and signal processing bandwidth, as well as the highest on-chip memory density.

This kit is ideal for prototyping applications ranging from 1+ Tb/s networking and data center to fully integrated radar/early-warning systems.
