Introduction

Overview

The VCU128 board incorporates the VU37P high bandwidth memory (HBM) FPGA, which
utilizes stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) technology to add HBM die next to the FPGA die on the
package substrate. The VCU128 evaluation board for the Xilinx
provides a hardware environment for developing and evaluating designs targeting the UltraScale
+ XCVU37P-2FSVH2892E device. The VCU128 evaluation board is equipped with many of the
common board-level features needed for design development as listed here.
• DDR4, RLD-3, and QDR-IV component memory
• Ganged small form-factor pluggable (QSFP28) connectors
• Sixteen-lane PCI Express
• Ethernet PHY
• General purpose I/O
• UART interface
Additional features can be supported using modules compatible with the VITA-57.4 (FMCP
HSPC) connector on the VCU128 board.
