Xilinx Virtex 6 PCI Express Gen 2 Development Board (LX240T-2)

Designed for high-performance and high-density applications, the HTG-V6-PCIE-L240-2 is supported by Xilinx Virtex-6 XC6VLX240T-2FFG1759 FPGA device (other models with the LX550T, LX365T, SX475T or SX315T FPGAs are also available). To expand functional capability and provide more flexibility, the HTG-V6-PCIE series are designed for operation in x8/x4/x1 PCI Express Gen 1, Gen 2 or stand alone mode. 

The HTG-V6-PCIE series are supported by wide range of industry standard connectors and interfaces including ; 8-lane PCI Express Gen2, Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000), SMA (connected to two Virtex-6 GTX serial transceivers & external clock), USB 2.0/3.0 Host, USB 2.0/3.0 Device, SFP, DDR3, and Vita-57 FPGA Mezzanine Connectors. 

The expansion connectors provide access to up to 448 parallel IOs and 20 serial GTX transceivers of the on-board Virtex-6 device. The FMC connector can host off-the-shelf Vita-57 modules as well those developed by HiTech Global. Interfaces such as Single / Dual CX4, Dual / Quad SATA, Quad SFP, Dual / Quad SFP+ (20Gbps/40Gbps), and RJ45 are supported by the HiTech Global FMC modules.
