Contributing to space saving and design simplicity of the PCI express card MonoBK(TM)

 AX7450

This FPGA board, AX7450 was designed by Alinx, FPGA board design partner.

PCI express is used in an application, such as Accelerator or Video Capture Cards, which processes image signals.

In this section, a description is given of the “MonoBK™” DC-DC converter.

What is PCI express?

The PCI express standard board is used in an application, such as Accelerator or Graphic cards (Video Capture Cards), which processes image signals.

PCI Express is a kind of I/O serial interface or extension bus.
In order to resolve the issue of insufficient transfer speed of the I/O interface, complete compatibility between PCI buses at the software level was assumed, and PCI-SIG was used to formulate specifications in 2002.

The board size and electric power have been standardized.

Trend for PCI express

The transfer speed is increased for each generation.
In order to carry out high-speed processing, a high-function FPGA will be used.

The use of a high-function FPGA results in a reduction of the core voltage, an increase in the current, and an increase in the
number of memories. However, when PCI express is used, the board size and quantity of electric power supplied are non-standard, resulting in issues such as inadequate space, troublesome wiring and troublesome heat treatment.
