XpressVUP-LP9PT3

Overview

The XpressVUP-LP9PT3 is a low-profile PCIe network processing board based on the AMD Virtex UltraScale+ VU9P FPGA in the -3 speed grade. It pairs two DDR4 and two QDR2+ memory banks with two QSFP28 cages for 10, 40 and 100 GbE. Reflex CES designed it for high-frequency trading and other ultra-low latency workloads, and ships it with a dual-slot active heatsink.

Built for

  • High-frequency trading
  • Market data feed processing
  • Risk analysis and options pricing
  • Low-latency networking

Key features

-3 speed grade FPGA

Uses the XCVU9P-3 device, the higher speed grade of the VU9P boards in the range.

Dual memory types

Two DDR4 banks (8 GB total) and two QDR2+ banks (576 Mbit total) are on board.

Dual QSFP28

Two QSFP28 cages support 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE.

PTP timing

A 0.05 ppm oscillator and PPS coax input support IEEE 1588 synchronisation.

Fast configuration

Dual quad SPI flash with a fail-safe sector and tandem configuration mode.

Reference designs

Ships with Vivado 2023.1 HDL designs and a PCIe reference design using AMD QDMA IP.
