ReFLEX CES XpressSX AGI-FH400G Agilex I-Series SoC PCIe Board

ReFLEX CES XpressSX AGI-FH400G Agilex™ I-Series SoC PCIe Board is a full-height, half-length PCIe Gen5 network processing board, featuring the Agilex I-Series SoC FPGA and 400GB Ethernet. This device is optimized for bandwidth-intensive applications that require a high-performance processor interface, supported by the CXL™ standard interface, the PCIe Gen5 x16 interface, and transceiver tiles with data rates of up to 116Gbps. The FPGA board is delivered with a 2-slot PCIe active heatsink and is specifically optimized for embedded applications.

The XpressSX AGI-FH400G board must be inserted in a PCIe Gen5 compatible server to deliver full PCIe Gen5 x16 performance. If the user only uses a PCIe Gen4 compatible server, the XpressSX AGI-FH400G is supplied with a PCIe Gen4 x16 daughter card. This way, the system will achieve 2x Gen4 x16 performance similar to PCIe Gen5 x16, using two R-Tile PCIe Hard IPs inside the FPGA. The daughter card also supports x8x8 bifurcation mode.
