Q9 Versal Computer-on-Module

A High Performance AI/ML-Capable System-on-Chip for Intensive Processing in a Tiny COTS Package.

Artboard 2@4x

The Q9 is the first time a Versal-based platform has been available in such a small form-factor that can fit almost anywhere. It is also a true commercial grade platform with all of the benefits of COTS but with the tools and systems in place to make development, demonstration and launch fast and reliable. It is ideal for development of the next generation of intensive AI applications.

The new card extends the capability of the Xiphos Q-Card processor family, adding support for high-speed JESD204B interfaces and PCIe, as well as access to 2TB of high speed data storage. The Q9 is ideal for advanced payload applications, requiring onboard AI/ML processing, I/O-intensive applications, and high-speed C&DH systems. At the core of each Q9 is a hybrid environment of powerful multi-core CPUs and reprogrammable logic, providing flexible and scalable performance.

Q9 High Performance Versal Computer-on-Module offers the following key features:
