Single KU115 Prodigy™ Logic Module

The Single KU115 Prodigy Logic Module is a low-cost, all-purpose, stand-alone prototyping system based on Xilinx’s Kintex UltraScale XCKU115 FPGA. The system has 624 general purpose I/Os and 48 GTH transceivers on 8 high-speed connectors, and users have access to S2C’s 80+ daughter cards to quickly build prototype targets. Utilizing S2C 6th generation technology, users can perform an array of runtime features remotely through both Ethernet and USB. The KU115 device contains 5,520 DSP resources on a single FPGA, the most of any on the market, making it ideal for intensive DSP calculation tasks.


I/O Architecture

Large Capacity & Scalable

  • 1.45M System Logic Cells
  • 75.9 Mb of FPGA internal memory
  • 5,520 DSP Slices
  • Multiple Logic Modules can be conveniently connected together to expand capacity through the use of interconnection modules or cables
  • Up to 16 Single KU Logic Modules can be configured in a Cloud Cube


High Reliability

  • Screw-lock design to high-speed I/O connectors
  • Self-Tests – Isolate design issues from board issues conveniently with a software GUI
  • Monitoring of on-board voltage, current and temperature with a software GUI
  • Automatic shut-down upon detection of overcurrent, over-voltage or over-temperature


Flexible & Powerful I/O

  • 576 high-performance I/O pins and 16 Gigabit transceivers through 4 Prodigy connectors
  • I/O voltage can be adjusted to 1.2V, 1.35V, 1.5V or 1.8V through runtime software in GUI with 4 status LEDs on-board to indicate I/O voltage
  • 32 Gigabit transceivers and 48 GPIOs through 4 GT I/O connectors


High Performance

  • Up to 80W of power for an FPGA
  • Equal trace length for I/Os from same I/O connector
  • 48 Gigabit Transceivers can run at 12.5Gbps


Advanced Clock Management

Standalone Mode

  • 6 global clocks to be selected from
    - 6 programmable clock sources (0.2-700MHz)
    - 5 pairs of external clocks through MMCX connectors
    - 1 OSC socket
  • 3 design clock outputs
    - through 3 pairs of MMCX connectors

Cloud Cube Mode

  • 6 global clocks to be selected from
    - 6 local programmable clock sources (0.2-700MHz)
    - 6 Cloud Cube global clock resources
  • 3 feedback clocks
    - Internally generated clocks can be output to Cloud Cube global clock sources


Ease-of-Use

  • Multiple FPGA configuration options through Ethernet port, USB port, JTAG and micro SD card
  • Auto detection of daughter cards and cables
  • Virtual SWs & LEDs for simple tasks such as changing a setting or indicating a condition remotely
  • User Test Area – LEDs, Push Buttons, Switches and Pin Headers for testing and debugging
  • On-board battery charging circuit makes FPGA bin file encryption easy
  • Optional ProtoBridge™ AXI software to co-model with software/simulation models at the transaction-level
  • Optional S2C design implementation & debug software
  • Compatible with S2C’s off-the-shelf pre-tested daughter boards
