  • Confirm the host platform, port, electrical interface and firmware requirements.
  • Confirm availability, lead time, destination and applicable service terms before payment.
Description
BF03-VB0AS8N03C-A1 is a BlueField-3 E-Series system-on-chip with eight Arm cores, 400GbE/NDR VPI connectivity and a PCIe 5.0 x32 interface. Hardware crypto is enabled. It is intended for a qualified board-level integration; the final board determines the memory population, external connectors, cooling solution and power delivery.

Product questions & answers

Is this a ready-to-install PCIe adapter?

No. BF03-VB0AS8N03C-A1 is an integrated circuit / system-on-chip for a qualified board design. An adapter card adds connectors, PCB routing, memory where applicable, power delivery, cooling and firmware configuration.

Which network and host-interface parameters are specified?

The owner technical description specifies eight Arm cores, 400GbE/NDR VPI ports and PCIe 5.0 x32. It does not specify a board memory capacity or a number of populated external cages.

Which security variant is this?

Hardware crypto is enabled in this exact owner-confirmed description. Secure-boot status is not supplied for this bare-IC order code and should not be copied from a finished card.

Is Multi-Host capability established for this suffix?

Multi-Host capability is not stated in the exact owner description for this variant. Do not infer its presence or absence from a related suffix or a finished adapter card.

Can finished-card power, size or connector specifications be used for this IC?

No. Those values depend on the board implementation. Keep chip package dimensions, chip power and thermal limits separate from completed-card dimensions, cage types, brackets and board power.

What engineering details are needed before board design?

Obtain the exact package drawing and pinout, power-rail requirements, thermal limits, supported port modes, clocking and firmware/strap requirements. Public adapter-card documentation provides family context, not a complete silicon design specification.
