Technology Update - August 2022
Hi customer
The Sarsen office is now fully up and running, and staff are enjoying a new hybrid working pattern. It's been great to be able to meet as a team and also get out and visit customers again.
This summer we bring you a slew of brand new technology, an intro to the first Xilinx Versal boards in our portfolio, and some fantastic industry insight videos and articles.
If you have questions about any of the products in this newsletter please get in touch. We look forward to speaking with you.
Best regards,
Laura B, Sarsen Technology

New and Noteworthy Technology
1-2 Channel Embedded 1553 with Real-Time Ethernet Host Interface
- Extremely Compact NXP i.MX6 UL CPU Module
- 1U Rackmount Multifunctional Master Clock
- SOSA-Aligned 3U VPX NVIDIA A4500 Graphics & GPGPU Card
- Intel Arria 10 SoC SoM
1-2 Channel Embedded 1553 with Real-Time Ethernet Host Interface
Taken from the popular ENET product from Alta Data, the MEZ-E1553 is a small, rugged mezzanine product that can easily be integrated into your system design.
Alta provides full reference schematics, design notes, STEP 3-D Files, and sample ESS test programs. Guaranteed 1553A/B/C compliant with AS4111 5.2 Protocol Test reports.
Extremely Compact NXP i.MX6 UL CPU Module
AXEL ULite from DAVE Embedded is based on the NXP i.MX6 Ultra Lite application processor.
Featuring ARM Cortex-A7 architecture the Axel ULite is an ideal solution for applications where power consumption, connectivity and extremely compact form factor (67.5 mm x 25.5 mm) are key factors.
1U Rackmount Multi-functional Master Clock
The GMR5000 from Masterclock can reference a variety of timing sources and provide a range of outputs including NTP, PTP, SMPTE, and IRIG-B.
The base model includes both NTP server and client functionality compatible with IPv4/IPv6 networks and offers AES 256 Secure-Socket-Host SSH encryption for secure comms.
SOSA-Aligned 3U VPX NVIDIA A4500 Graphics & GPGPU Card
The Condor GR2S-A4500 from EIZO Rugged Solutions is a 3U VPX video graphics, GPGPU, and AI-processing card aligned with the SOSA Technical Standard, Edition 1.0.
The Condor GR2S-A4500 3U VPX card is designed using the NVIDIA Ampere RTX A4500 GPU (MXM technology) which features 5,888 CUDA Cores, 184 Tensor Cores, 46 RT Cores, and delivers up to 17.66 TFLOPS FP32.
Intel Arria 10 SoC SoM
Achilles from REFLEX CES is a high performance SoM based on the Intel Arria 10 SoC.
Featuring an ARM dual-core Cortex-A9 MPCore and up to 660KLEs of advanced low-power FPGA logic elements, the Arria® 10 SoC combines the flexibility and ease of programming of a CPU with the configurability and parallel processing power of an FPGA.
This System On Module is also available in a Development Kit: Achilles DevKit.
