Terasic Apollo S10 SOM

The secret behind the Terasic Apollo S10 SOM lies in its utilization of the latest Intel® Stratix® 10 SoC, boasting an impressive 2800K logic elements, which enables remarkable speed and power advancements with up to 70% lower energy consumption. Additionally, the Apollo S10 SOM incorporates a range of high-end hardware interfaces, including high-capacity and high-bandwidth DDR4 SDRAM (up to 64GB), an on-board USB-Blaster II, and FMC/FMC+ connectors for I/O expansion. As a result, this board delivers over 2X the performance of previous-generation development kits.

The Terasic Apollo S10 SOM is designed to be highly extensible. To facilitate our client's development process, we offer the Apollo Carrier board, which is tailor-made for the Apollo S10 SOM. This carrier board provides essential features for evaluating and integrating the Apollo S10 SOM into custom systems. Notably, it includes two ultra-low-latency 40Gbps QSFP+ modules and Thunderbolt™ 3 connectivity. This enables clients to assess their desired I/O configuration and seamlessly build their own tailored systems around the Apollo S10 SOM.
