Architecture Overview
The diagram below shows the architecture of Achronix's 7t1500 FPGA. The eight GDDR6 subsystem are
distributed four on the east and west sides each of the fabric. There are PLLs on four corners of the device that
supply the external reference clock to the GDDR6 SDRAM cores and other high-speed interfaces that connect
with the peripheral NoC over the FPGA fabric.
The GDDR6 subsystems can interface with the FPGA core in two ways:
NoC Interface – By using the network hierarchy that allows high-speed data flow between FPGA and
peripheral interfaces
Beachfront (direct-to-fabric) Interface – By using the beachfront interface that connects the memory
controller directly to the core. All the eight GDDR6 subsystems can accessed from the FPGA fabric
through the NoC. However, there are only four subsystems (namely GDDR6 1, 2, 5 and 6 from the
diagram below) that connect to the FPGA fabric directly.
