OP7020 RCP/HIL Virtex 7TM FPGA Processor Expansion Unit
OP7020 RCP/HIL VIRTEX 7TM
FPGA PROCESSOR EXPANSION UNIT
The OP7020 is a Virtex7-based processor and expansion unit designed to be used with an OPAL-RT
real-time computer. It can be used for floating-point models and projects requiring the use of large
amounts of on-board memory.
The OP7020 is also designed to accommodate up to 16 High Speed fiber optic modules (SFP) that
can be used to communicate with other OPAL-RT simulators, such as the OP7000, OP5607 or any
MMC device under test.
The OP7020 FPGA-based simulation system is connected to a high-performance multi-core INTEL
computer, which is used to compute model sub-systems with a time step value of 10 micros and above
features
• Supports a wide range of SFP and SFP+ transceivers with signaling rates up to 5GBps.
• The VC707 can be programmed using PCIe link or USB interface.
