Lisbon ACC100 FEC Accelerator Standard temp
Standard temperature eASIC ACC100 FEC Accelerator Server Adapter Intel® Based
Silicom’s eASIC ACC100 FEC Accelerator server adapter is based on the Intel vRAN Dedicated Accelerator ACC100, an Intel eASIC Nextreme-3S device. The ACC100 is packaged in a 35mmx35mm FC1156 package with 1.0mm ball pitch (some balls are de-populated to facilitate break-out). The ACC100 provides 4G (Turbo) and 5G (LDPC) encode and decode via PCIe interface.
The next generation telecom networks (5G) have started hitting the market end of 2018 and will continue to expand worldwide. Beyond just speed improvements, 5G is expected to unleash a massive IoT ecosystem where networks can serve communication needs for billions of connected devices, with the right trade-offs between speed, latency and cost. 5G technology is driven by some specification requirements: Up to 10Gbps data rate, 1-millisecond latency, up to 100x number of connected devices per unit area (compared with 4G LTE), 100% coverage, etc.)

The PCIe shall be deployed in various Xeon based COTS servers ranging from dual-socket Xeon-SP rackmount implementations, single socket Xeon-SP Edge servers through to low-core-count (LCC) based Xeon-D servers. The commercial solution shall be implemented on the Low profile half-length PCIe x16 Gen-3 PCIe add-in card.

Block Diagram Overview
The ACC100 4G and 5G Wireless Forward Error Correction (FEC) Accelerator is single-chip,
fixed-function SoC that connects with an external host processor through a x16 PCI Express*
(PCIe*) interface. It provides FEC acceleration for both 4G and 5G Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
applications.
The BMC will provide monitoring / telemetry, fault handling. Its responsibility is to keep the
ACC100 card operating. BMC component enables a better management and controlling options for
the card. Such as: voltage monitoring using the sequence device, current monitoring using current
devices, management of Temperature events and processing telemetries from power supplies.
The eASIC have some features, such as: JTAG controller for boundary scan, I2C Master device,
DDR4 Interface and PCIe Gen3 x16 Interface.
