SOSA-aligned 3U OpenVPX embedded computing board with Versal HBM series processor introduced by Mercury

Oct. 17, 2022
The model 5560 offers 16 gigabytes of Versal high-bandwidth memory, which delivers memory bandwidth as quickly as 820 gigabytes per second.

ANDOVER, Mass. – Mercury Systems Inc. in Andover, Mass., is introducing the model 5560 next-generation 3U OpenVPX SOSA aligned co-processing board for electronic warfare (EW) and spectrum processing applications.

The model 5560, which aligns to the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) open-systems standard, is powered by the AMD Xilinx Versal HBM series processor with integrated high-bandwidth memory.

The model 5560 offers 16 gigabytes of Versal high-bandwidth memory, which delivers memory bandwidth as quickly as 820 gigabytes per second. This is eight times the bandwidth of DDR5 memory at 63 percent lower power consumption.

The embedded computing board also offers four 100 Gigabit Ethernet high-speed optical data pipes for an aggregate data throughput rate of 50 gigabytes per second. Its uses the Navigator field-programmable gate array (FPGA) design kit (FDK) and board support package (BSP) for operational control and IP development

Mercury's model 5560 is integrated with the on-chip HBM via the Versal Programmable Network-On-Chip, which can increase the overall amount of data that can be pushed through the system.
