Delivers the highest performance FPGA & interfaces to accelerate today’s innovative SoC/ASIC design validation

S2C, a world leader in FPGA-based prototyping solutions for accelerated SoC verification, has announced the availability of its new Prodigy S7 Series Logic Systems equipped with Xilinx’s Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA devices. The Prodigy S7 is S2C’s 7^th generation prototyping system designed and optimized for maximum performance and ease-of-use. With high DSP-to-logic and high memory-to-logic ratio, this family is the ideal platform for prototyping high-speed connectivity and computation-intensive applications. The first two members in the S7 series are the Prodigy S7-9P and Prodigy S7-13P.

S7-9P and S7-13P Logic System Highlights:

Supports 25Gbps transceivers
Up to 3.78M system logic cells, 455Mb internal memory, and 12,288 DSP slices
676 high-performance I/Os and 48 GTY transceivers
4x QSFP28 optical interfaces, each supporting 100G applications
Supports MIPI and x8 PCIe Gen4 / x8 PCIe Gen3 endpoint
Compatible with 90+ off-the-shelf S2C daughter cards
Abundant remote management capability
