AV155 Versal RF

Overview

The AV155 is a conduction-cooled 3U VPX board built on an AMD Versal RF VR1652 or VR1952 adaptive SoC. It provides four or eight 14-bit ADC channels at up to 32 Gsps and eight 14-bit DAC channels at up to 16 Gsps, with analogue bandwidth up to 18 GHz. With three LPDDR5X banks, two 100 Gbps optical interfaces and a SOSA aligned profile, it is aimed at direct RF radar, electronic warfare and SIGINT systems.

Built for

Phased-array radar transmit and receive
Electronic warfare (ESM/ECM)
SIGINT, ISR and software defined radio
Wideband RF test and measurement

Key features

Versal RF device

An AMD Versal RF VR1652 or VR1952 combines RF converters, programmable logic and processors on one chip.

Direct RF converters

4 or 8 ADC channels at 32 Gsps and 8 DAC channels at 16 Gsps, all 14-bit.

Optical I/O

Two 100 Gbps optical interfaces run as 2x4 lanes at up to 25 Gbps each.

LPDDR5X memory

Three 32-bit 64 Gb LPDDR5X banks run at 8533 Mbps.

SOSA aligned

The SOSA aligned VPX profile supports interoperability in radar, EW and communication systems.

Rugged design

Conduction cooled to VITA 48.2 and rated ECC3, -40 to 70 C.
