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.

XU-AWG 12 GSPS Dual 16 bit Dac board with PLL, DDR4 and Kintex Ultrascale FPGA all on XMC

ISI LLC have released the first board in a new family of high performance data acquisition modules that is centred around the Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale^®.

The XU-AWG is an XMC module with two 8-lane high speed serial links: one on XMC connector P15, one on P16. These links can support several protocols (up to 8-lane PCIe on P15, Aurora, or user defined). The XU-AWG features two AC- coupled single-ended DAC outputs with programmable DC bias. The Analog Devices AD9162 high-speed/high performance DACs employ synchronization support, interpolation, fixed latency and unique output circuits supplying improved frequency synthesis in the 2nd and 3rd Nyquist zones.

A Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale XCKU060 FPGA with 4GB DDR4 RAM memory provides a high-performance DSP core for demanding applications such as RADAR and wireless IF generation. The close integration of the analog front-end, memory, and host interface with the FPGA enables real-time signal processing.

The XU XMC module couples a powerful multi-channel PCIe DMA architecture with a high performance 8-lane PCI Express link connected to the carrier. PCIe link speeds up to Gen3 are supported; however, the actual PCIe link performance depends on the XMC carrier as well as the host system.

The XU-AWG FPGA design can be fully customized using VHDL and the FrameWork Logic Devkit. Xilinx JESD204B IP license, purchased separately from Xilinx, is required for logic development.

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 DAC samples from disk, is provided.

Dual Adc and Dac with Artix7 FPGA now with software support for NVIDIA® Jetson GPU

XA-160M supported by NVIDIA® Jetson for Distributed Acoustic Sensing

Entegra Solutions is delighted to announce the XA-160M is now supported by the NVIDIA® Jetson.  We have been working with ISI to provide this new solution to our customers. This enables our customers to develop low cost, compact and revolutionary DAS systems. Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is an important part of the photonics industry which is worth £12.9B to the UK economy (WNIE 29 June 2017). We are a leading supplier to this industry. Previously our solutions have been provided in a Windows or Linux based PC chassis. The NVIDIA® Jetson offers high performance in compact form factor ideal for some applications.

Technology

In Rayleigh scattering based distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems use fibre optic cables to provide distributed strain sensing. In DAS, the optical fibre cable becomes the sensing element and measurements are made, and in part processed, using an attached optoelectronic device. Such a system allows acoustic frequency strain signals to be detected over large distances and in harsh environments. The systems can be based on Coherent Rayleigh Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (COTDR) or Phase-sensitive coherent optical time-domain reflectometry (ϕ-OTDR), amoungst other methods. The interference signal is captured and often a large FFT is required during the signal processing.

These systems need high speed data acquisition like the XA-160M which is ideal for these applications, as it has two 160 MSPS 16-bit ADC channels, two 615 MSPS 16-bit DAC channels and a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. In many cases the large FFT required in post signal processing has been run on mid tier Windows based PCs. The advance in computing technology for AI and autonomous systems has led to the development of new powerful low cost processors which can process large FFT’s. The NVIDIA® Jetson is ideal for this application.

Revolution in DAS

The combination of XA-160M and NVIDIA® Jetson is a sweet spot of cost and performance for new DAS systems. It allows distributed low cost nodes to be built in compact portable or large integrated systems  bringing DAS technology to a wider market place. Entegra Solutions expertise in Digital Signal Processing in FPGAs and DAS systems gives our customers a competitive advantage and allows us to reach new markets together.
