Mercury+ SA2

The Mercury+ SA2 system-on-chip (SoC) module combines Intel’s Cyclone V ARM Processor-based SoC FPGA with fast DDR3L SDRAM, eMMC flash, quad SPI flash, a Gigabit Ethernet PHY, dual Fast Ethernet PHYs and an RTC and thus forms a high-performance embedded processing solution, combining the flexibility of a CPU system with the raw, real-time parallel processing power of an FPGA.
