FM480 Virtex-4 PMC/PMC-X
(for new designs, please use the FM482 or FM485)
Description
The FM480 is a high performance PMC/PMC-X module dedicated to processing applications with complex requirements. Bundled with various interfaces, fast on-board memory resources and two FPGAs, the FM480 can be utilized, for example, as a coprecessor unit to accelerate frequency-domain algorithms. With a variety of front panel I/O daughter cards, the FM480 brings high performance and flexibility to a wide range of industries.
