Venus Versal RF SoM
Small form factor module with an AMD Versal RF adaptive SoC, up to 16 RF ADCs and 16 RF DACs to 18 GHz.
- AMD Versal RF
- Up to 16 ADC / 16 DAC
- 18 GHz bandwidth
- LPDDR5X
- 120 x 90 mm

Overview
Venus is a small form factor FPGA module built around AMD Versal RF adaptive SoCs, which integrate high-speed RF data converters, programmable logic, AI-capable engines and Arm processors on one chip. It supports up to 16 RF ADCs and 16 RF DACs with analogue bandwidth up to 18 GHz, an ultra-low jitter clock synthesiser and LPDDR5X memory. Putting the FPGA, memory, RF, clocking and power on one 120 x 90 mm module simplifies carrier board design for SWaP-constrained SDR, electronic warfare, radar, communications and test systems.
