Description

The VCS³ is a small Single-Board-Computer with an AMD© ZYNQ™ device with integrated ARM CPUs and FPGA fabric. Measuring just 30mm x 50mm, this tiny workhorse can be placed almost anywhere, opening up the benefits of FPGAs to many more applications.

The VCS³ utilizes an AMD UltraScale+ MPSoC coupled with high-speed LP-DDR4 memory to produce a highly compact evaluation platform. Together with four digital camera interfaces, a 9-axis IMU, and a CAN-Bus interface, this platform is ideally suited for autonomous machines, cameras or automation.

Device booting can be from SPI ROMs or eMMC flash, with no bulky, fiddly or unreliable SD cards.

Numerous onboard power rails are generated from a single external 5V supply, or via a USB3 Type-C interface.

Several LEDs indicate board functionality, and numerous test points allow access to the various interfaces.

Cooling solutions

The VCS³ will require either active (fan) or passive (heatsink), depending on the operational environment. By default, the VCS3 is fitted with a heatsink to enable desk operation at room temperature.
