MercuryCode -
FPGA - Application Made Easy

  


  

EBV Elektronik has now completed its fifth reference design called MercuryCode which is based on an FPGA from Altera®’s Cyclone® III family for universal industrial applications.
With interfaces from Ethernet to CAN, from USB to Touchscreen-TFT and from RS-485 to 24V I/Os, MercuryCode is optimally equipped. Thanks to the appropriate software and drivers, implementation of the user-system is practically pre-programmed.

With the next FPGA generation, EBV Elektronik in conjunction with Altera, is launching the new MercuryCode reference board, as the first generation board providing ‘only’ 20,000 logic elements had reached the limits of its processing capacity. Besides, the market was also crying out for new functions. Within its core element, the EP3C40-type FPGA, MercuryCode has doubled the resources to 40,000 logic elements. The EP3C40 is a member of the latest Cyclone III family from Altera.
EBV Elektronik has implemented a Nios® processor in the FPGA, as well as, various industrial drivers (for industry standard interfaces) that come with an appropriate driver/software package.
