Add-on card		Application	Features
EIO-SFP1		Evaluation / rapid prototyping / low-volume series	PCIe x16 edge connector, 2 SFP+ slots, 4 MGT channels on SMA connectors, 2 SATA connectors

Overview

The EIO-SPF1 add-on card can be used to add a wealth of high-speed I/O interfaces to the Mercury+ PE1, and many other PCI-based FPGA base boards. Two SFP+ slots allow for the use of both optical and electrical transceiver modules - add in SMA-connected MGT channels and SATA connectors, and the SFP1 provides high-throughput connectivity options for an extremely wide range of applications.
