RFX-8440 RFSoC Data Acquisition FPGA Card with 5GSPS Adc, 9.7GSPS Dac, Ultrascale+
Zynq RFSoC PCIe & Standalone Platform
Seamlessly cross between analog and digital at up to gigahertz rates
The BittWare RFX-8440 data acquisition card features the third generation Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC ZU43DR. This innovative PCIe data acquisition card is capable of addressing the entire sub-6 gigahertz (GHz) spectrum – a critical need for applications such as 5G, LTE wireless, phased array RADAR and satellite communications.
The Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC integrates RF-class A/D and D/A converters into the Zynq® FPGA fabric and multi-core ARM processor subsystem, creating a multi-channel data conversion and processing solution on a single chip. With the product development, manufacturing, quality and lifecycle management capabilities of the Molex group behind it, the RFX-8440 is an Enterprise-class product ideal for rapid prototyping as well as volume deployment in end user systems.
The board is available with two different front ends:
- RFX-8440A for data acquisition covering 30MHz to S band rates
- RFX-8440L for L band covering 1GHz – 2GHz.
The RFX-8440 FPGA design can be fully customized using VHDL and the FrameWork Logic Devkit.
The RFX-8440 board has eight high speed serial OCu-Link ports (25Gb/s each) for transport of data on and off the card.
A software development kit for host development includes C++ libraries and 64-bit drivers for Windows and Linux. An application demonstrating the module’s features, including streaming ADC & DAC samples to/from disk, is provided.
