PanaTeQ’s VPX3-RFSOC-B is a 3U VPX module based on the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen3 device from Xilinx.

The board is build around ZU47/48DR RFSOC with Front Analog I/O and Rear Analog I/O (8x ADC, 8x DAC, 2x REFCLKIN, 2x TRIGGER)

The board design is SOSA Aligned.

The Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC family integrates key subsystems for multiband, multi-mode cellular radios and cable infrastructure (DOCSIS) into an SoC platform that contains a feature-rich 64-bit quad-core ARM® Cortex™-A53 and    dual-core ARM Cortex-R5F based processing system.

Combining the processing system with UltraScale™ architecture programmable logic and RF-ADCs, RF-DACs, and soft-decision FECs, the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC family is capable of implementing a complete software-defined radio including direct RF sampling data converters, enabling CPRI™ and gigabit Ethernet-to-RF on a single, highly programmable SoC.

Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoCs integrate up to 8 channels of RF-ADCs and RF-DACs. The RF-ADCs can sample input frequencies up to 6GHz at 5GSPS with excellent noise spectral density. The RF-DACs generate output carrier frequencies up to 6GHz using the 2nd Nyquist zone with excellent noise spectral density at an update rate of 10.554GSPS.

The RF data converters also include power efficient digital down converters (DDCs) and digital up converters (DUCs) that include programmable interpolation and decimation, NCO, and complex mixer. The DDCs and DUCs can also support dual-band operation. The soft-decision FEC (SD-FEC) is a highly flexible forward error correction engine capable of operating in Turbo decoding mode for wireless applications such as LTE and LDPC encode/decode mode used in 5G wireless, backhaul, and DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems.

The board can be ordered with different versions of the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC family of devices, coupled up to 8GB 64-bit DDR4-2400 Processing Memory with 8-bit ECC.

Up to 8GB 64-bit of DDR4-2400 is also available as the Programmable Logic Memory, allowing data streaming signal processing applications. 64GB of soldered eMMC managed NAND Flash is available for local data storage.

Frond-end and Rear Analog I/O  interfaces are available using on-board SSMC or VITA 67.3 NanoRF connectors depending of the models.
