Xilinx Virtex™ -4 PCI Express®  Gen 1 & 2 Development Board

The HTG-V4PCIe board is powered by Xilinx Virtex-4 XC4VFX100-FF1152 with sixteen RocketIO™ Multi Gigabit Transceivers, two IBM 405 PowerPC® processors, four hard-coded Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controllers (MAC) , and more than 94,000 FPGA logic cells. The HTG-V4PCIe is also available with  XC4VFX60-FF1152.

The HTG-V4PCIe provides wide variety of connectors and interfaces including ;one PCI Express 8-lane upstream (end-point), one PCI Express 4-lane downstream, two Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000), two Serial ATA (SATA), one Secure Digital (SD), one SPF, four SMA (connected to one RocketIO MGT channel), one USB 2.0 host  and General Purpose I/Os (GPIO)

The HTG-V4PCIe board  provides access to up to 2 GB of DDR2 memory through one set of SO-DIMM socket as well as 256 MB of mounted and 4 MB of Flash on the board.

The HTG-V4PCIe can be used either as stand-alone or PCI Express based card. This provides additional functionality and cost saving so designers can use the board for multiple designs and projects.

The feature-rich Virtex-4 FX60/FX100 FPGAs , availability of more than 100 + different IP Cores through HiTech Global, and variety of different connectors and interfaces, make the HTG-V4PCIe an extremely versatile platform for serial interface, embedded system, and storage designs.

The Virtex-4 HTG-V4PCIe can be bundled and shipped with any of the following IP Cores (in binary format) for evaluation:

- PCI Express
- SATA Host
- SD/SDIO/MMC
- DDR 2 Memory Controller
