WILDSTAR 3AA2 3U OpenVPX FPGA Processor – WB3AA2
The WILDSTAR 3AA2 integrates Intel's powerful Agilex M-Series AGM 032 or AGM 039 FPGA. It is 100GbE-enabled, SOSA-aligned, and highly rugged and thermally-controlled.
Need the same SOSA-alignment and 100GbE capability in a 6U VPX form factor? See the WILDSTAR 6XB2 6U OpenVPX Board.

These SOSA-aligned Plug-In Cards (PIC) include one Agilex M-Series AGM 032/039 FPGA and have one 72-bit DDR4 DRAM port running up to 3733 MT/s.
If front panel and/or backplane IO is required, Annapolis offers extraordinary density, bandwidth and analog conversion choices. Each card has a next generation mezzanine site that is optimized for JESD-based ADCs and DACs. Based on FMC/FMC+ specification, it allows larger form factor cards for higher IO density. VITA 66/67 optical/RF backplane support is included.
The air-cooled 3AA2 is hot swappable, allowing for more system reliability. This feature is unique to Annapolis and was developed because our experience with OpenVPX systems has shown it invaluable, so a whole chassis does not need to be shutdown to remove a single board.
