Mercury+ PE1-200/300/400

The Mercury+ PE1 is versatile PCIe® base board with 3 variants for Mercury (Mercury PE1-200) and Mercury+ (Mercury PE1-300/400) form factor FPGA and SoC modules, providing a head start for building custom FPGA and SoC based hardware systems. It supports up to two FMC low pin count (LPC) connectors, or one FMC high pin count (HPC) connector.

• Compatible with all Mercury & Mercury+ FPGA modules
• Offers PCIe® Gen2 x4, USB 3.0 and multiple USB 2.0 interfaces
• I/O interfaces for almost all applications
• Suitable from prototype to series production
• Standard PCI Express card solution size (160 × 111.2 mm, PCB only)
• Can also be used as a standalone board (not as PCIe card)

• Compatible with a multitude of FMC board from different suppliers (data acquisition, motor control, display & camera interfaces, software defined radio)
• Access of USB memory sticks, USB printers, USB Wi-Fi adapters etc. due to the USB host interface (SoC Modules only)
• USB 3.0 communication for transfers up to 300+ MBytes/sec
• High-Speed FPGA and flash programming over USB from a host PC
• PCIe support
• SoC boot from SD-card
• Simple integration due to a single 5 to 12V supply voltage

• 2 × RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
• mPCIe/mSATA card holder (USB only) (PE1-300/400)
• SIM card holder (optional, PE1-300/400 only)
• MGT and SMAclock in/out (optional, PE1-300/400 only)
• 1 × FMC LPC connector (PE1-200)
• 1 × FMC HPC connector (PE1-300)
• 2 × FMC LPC connector (PE1-400)
• 2 × 40-pin Anios pin header
• 3 × 12-pin Pmod™ pin header
• 5 to 12V DC supply voltage
• USB bus power (with restrictions)

Please note that the available features depend on the equipped Mercury FPGA/SoC Module and the selected PE1 board variant.
