UltraScale VU440 3D FPGA with 4.4M logic cells spotted in the wild at DAC in San Francisco this week!

Question

I visited DAC this week in San Francisco looking particularly for the FPGA prototyping boards I’ve covered in the Xcell Daily blog. Found one! Here’s the S2C VU Prodigy Logic Module based on a 20nm Xilinx Virtex UltraScale VU440 FPGA, which brings 4.433M logic cells, 2880 DSP48E2 slices, and 88.6Mbits of Block RAM to the party in one device.

You’ll find a DDR4 SODIMM socket for memory expansion on the back of the board:
The Xilinx Virtex UltraScale VU440 3D FPGA is constructed using next-generation “Xinterposer” 3D IC technology jointly developed by Xilinx and TSMC. Use of 3D technology permits construction of a composite 3D FPGA with approximately 19 billion transistors that’s larger than the optical lithography tool’s reticle size allows.
You can get more information about this technology in the article “Next-generation 3D FPGAs” by Xin Wu, Woon-Seong Kwon, Suresh Ramalingam, which was just published in ChipScale Review Magazine.
There’s more information about the S2C Single VU440 Prodigy Logic Module in the Xcell Daily blog post “Phenomenal Cosmic Prototyping Power, Itty Bitty Package: The new S2C Single VU440 Prodigy Logic Module.”
