sFPDP PCIe Platform based on AMD / Xilinx FPGA
RAVEN is a sFPDP board PCIe implementing 4 sFPDP channels with receive and transmit engines for high-performance data-processing.
Based on AMD (Xilinx) FPGA, this sFPDP board PCIe supports up to 10 Gbps data rate per link. RAVEN is fully dimensioned to implement VITA 17.1 and VITA 17.3 sFPDP standards and offers the following functionalities: Flow Control, CRC, Framed/Unframed, Copy/Loop Mode.
The user-friendly API (Application Programming Interface) software, written in C++, allows to get/send data, monitoring, configure, upgrade, etc.
This sFPDP board PCIe is compliant with copper or fiber thanks to its SFP+ slots.

sFPDP Benefits
The sFPDP protocol is dedicated to point-to-point communication, reducing protocol overhead and optimizes latency. sFPDP links are:- Efficient - the ratio, total of transmitted-data / effective volume of transmitted-data, is close to 1
- Determinist - sFPDPs ease of use allows FPGA implementation which free jitters from CPU and Linux
- Low-latency - The light and tunable data framing allows data transfers with low-latency for demanding applications as ECM or simulation.
- Reliability = Topologies offered by sFPDP protocol (point to point, copy, copy loop) prevent any loss of frames
At the same time, the Industrial market has seen the emergence and popularization of 10 Gb Ethernet. In a few short years, this trend has spread into embedded applications. Today, system architects compare both protocols as equal. [Read more] to see why sFPDP and 10 Gb Ethernet are not really competitors...
