VM2152 Adaptive SoC Supports 400G Connectivity and LPDDR5

AMD Versal Prime Series

The AMD Versal Prime VM2152 adaptive SoC is positioned as a mid-range device aimed at high-speed connectivity, offering a 400G interface with four 112G (or eight 56G) gigabit transceivers (GTs) and 600 GbE networking in a power-efficient package. It achieves a balance of programmable logic and hardened IP blocks to ease the design of high-throughput systems used in wired communications, aerospace and test and measurement, without the higher power and complexity associated with high-end FPGAs.

The VM2152 emphasizes I/O performance over raw logic density when contrasted with the AMD Versal Prime VP1902. The VM2152 adds support for LPDDR5 memory up to 6400 Mb/s and includes a 400 Gbps High-Speed Crypto engine, allowing for faster and more secure data processing than Agilex 7.
