1.1
General Description
The Terasic TR10a-LPQ Arria 10 GX FPGA Development Kit provides the ideal
hardware solution for designs that demand high capacity and bandwidth memory
interfacing, ultra-low latency communication, and power efficiency. With a Low-Profile
form-factor package, the TR10a-LPQ is designed for the most demanding high-end
applications, empowered with the top-of-the-line Altera Arria 10 GX, delivering the best
system-level integration and flexibility in the industry.
The Arria® 10 GX FPGA features integrated transceivers that transfer at a maximum of
12.5 Gbps, allowing the TR10a-LPQ to be fully compliant with version 3.0 of the PCI
Express standard, as well as allowing an ultra low-latency, straight connections to two
external 40G QSFP+ modules. Not relying on an external PHY will accelerate
mainstream development of network applications enabling customers to deploy designs
for a broad range of high-speed connectivity applications. For designs that demand high
capacity and high speed for memory and storage, the TR10a-LPQ delivers with five
independent banks of QDRII+ SRAM, high-speed parallel flash memory. The feature-
set of the TR10a-LPQ fully supports all high-intensity applications such as low-latency
trading, cloud computing, high-performance computing, data acquisition, network
processing, and signal processing.
