AV145 Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen3

Overview

The AV145 is a 3U OpenVPX board based on the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen 3 XCZU47DR, which integrates RF data converters, FPGA logic and Arm cores. It provides eight 14-bit ADCs at up to 5 Gsps and eight 14-bit DACs at up to 9.85 Gsps, with DDR4 memory and an onboard NVMe SSD. It comes in air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions for electronic warfare, wideband radar, MIMO and wideband communication.

Key features

RFSoC Gen 3

The XCZU47DR combines RF ADCs and DACs, FPGA logic and four Arm Cortex-A53 cores.

High-resolution converters

Eight 14-bit ADCs at 5 Gsps and eight 14-bit DACs at 9.85 Gsps on front-panel SMPM connectors.

DSP capacity

930K logic cells and 4,272 DSP slices give more than 5.5 TMACs.

Onboard storage

A 512 GB or 1 TB NVMe SSD sits on the processor's PCIe interface.

Flexible clocking

A 100 MHz internal reference feeds two synthesisers, or an external 10 to 200 MHz reference can be used.

Ruggedisation options

Air-cooled EAC4/EAC6 and conduction-cooled ECC3/ECC4 versions are offered.
