Dual VU440 Prodigy™ Logic System

The Dual VU440 Prodigy Logic System is a compact, sleek, all-in-one system that includes all components – FPGA module, extendable power control module, and power supply for maximum flexibility, durability, and portability. The system is based on Xilinx’s Virtex UltraScale XCVU440 FPGA and provides 2,368 general purpose I/Os and 88 GTH transceivers on 20 high-speed connectors. Utilizing the 6th generation Prodigy Player Pro™ technology, user can perform an array of runtime features remotely through both Ethernet and USB. User also have access to S2C’s vast library of over 80 daughter cards to quickly build prototyping targets. The modular system can be re-configured to a Single or Quad system.

  • Monitoring of on-board voltage, current and temperature with a software GUI
  • Automatic shut-down upon detection of over-current, over-voltage or over-temperature


Advanced Clock Management

Standalone Mode

  • 6 global clocks to be selected from
    - 6 programmable clock sources (0.16 ~ 350MHz)
    - 5 pairs of external clocks through MMCX connectors
    - 1 OSC socket
  • 3 design clock outputs through 3 pairs of MMCX connectors
  • 2 global resets sourced from push button or MMCX
  • 1 global reset sourced from runtime software in GUI

Multi-System Mode

  • 6 global clocks to be selected from
    - 6 local programmable clock sources (0.16-350MHz)
    - 6 global clock resources
  • 3 feedback clocks can be output to global clock sources
  • 2 global resets sourced from global reset sources
