FPGA board complies to AMC.1 – 4 specifications
VadaTech has developed its latest RFSoC FPGA board based on the Xilinx XCZU29DR RFSoC. The AMC576 module complies to AMC.1, AMC.2, AMC.3 and AMC.4 specifications. It interfaces the FPGA directly to the AMC FCLKA and TCLKA-D. The FPGA is supported by two banks of 64-bit wide DDR4 memory (PL and PS), with PS memory including error code correction (ECC), for a total of 16 Gbyte. This allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuing the data to the host.
The RFSoC device includes 16 ADC (12-bit at 2 Gsamples per second) and 16 DAC (14-bit at 6.4 Gsamples per second) with analogue I/O routed to a MicroRTM, together with clock and trigger I/O, per MTCA.4.
The XCZU29DR includes a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 application processing unit and dual-core Cortex-R5 real-time processing, as well as, over 4,200 DSP, 930 K logic cells and over 60 Mbyte of internal memory (including 22.5 Mbit of UltraRAM).
The module has on board 64 Gbyte of flash, 128 Mbyte of boot flash and an optional SD card. The front panel provides DisplayPort, dual USB, RS‑232 ports for CPU and management, and dual high-density connector for external I/O (a total of 128 single ended, or 64 differential I/O).
The RFSoC device is intended for 5G and LTE wireless, phased array radar, satellite communications, and test and measurement applications.
