AMD's evaluation kit provides a rapid, comprehensive RF analog-to-digital signal chain prototyping platform

AMD's Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC ZCU111 evaluation kit enables designers to jumpstart RF-Class analog designs for wireless, cable access, early-warning (EW)/radar, and other high-performance RF applications. This kit features a Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC supporting eight 12-bit 4.096 GSPS ADCs, eight 14-bit 6.554 GSPS DACs, and eight soft-decision forward error correction (SD-FECs). Complete with Arm® Cortex®-A53 and Arm Cortex-R5 subsystems, UltraScale+ programmable logic, and the highest signal processing bandwidth in a Zynq UltraScale+ device, this kit provides a rapid, comprehensive RF analog-to-digital signal chain prototyping platform.
