FG-650CL, a PCIe, open FPGA, Based CameraLink Frame Grabber

FG-650CL is an FPGA-based imaging solution that supports BASE, MEDIUM, FULL, and Extended FULL CameraLink compatible cameras. The hardware is a PC plugin card but can also be used in an embedded fashion. The solution offers 8 lanes of Gen3 PCIe for host communication. An FMC-CL Cameralink FMC card is attached to the base card for interfacing with the cameras.

Interface FG650CL-PCIe Number of Cameras +(option)
Base CL 2 (2)
Medium CL 1 (1)
Full CL 1 (1)
Extended Full CL 1 (1)
2 x SATA-3  

The FG-650CL has a variety of I/O capabilities – x2 SATA connectors for real-time storage of image frames ( SATA IP core is not included). The presence of a free FMC site gives a system developer the ability to add different functionalities to this hardware through the many available FMCs from various vendors or by adding another FMC-CL to support four Bases or 2 of the Medium, Full or Extended mode cameras.

FG-650CL is based on a Zynq device using any of the XCZU7EV / XCZU7EG/ XCZU11EG / XCZU7CG in the C1156 package as a build option.

  • 8 Lane PCIe Gen3
  • JTAG
  • 72 bits wide, 2.5GB DDR4 2400, and config. FLASH

With an open PL part, fully user- programmable to implement customized IP cores. The ARM processor on the MPSOC is also programmable by the user.
