Description
PanaTeQ’s VPX3-VERSA-RF-A is a 3U VPX module based on the VERSAL RF Adaptative Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP) device from AMD. It support the RF series VR1602 or VR1652 devices.
The VERSAL RF integrate a Dual-core ARM Cortex-A72 based Application Processing Unit (APU), a Dual-core ARM Cortex-R5F based Real-Time Processing Unit (RPU), AI Engines, DSP Engines and a large Programmable Logic (PL) in a single device. It also includes on-chip memory, external memory interfaces, and a rich set of peripheral connectivity interfaces.
The VERSAL RF integrate up to eight 14-bit (with calibration), 32 GSPS RF-ADCs with hard DUC and DDC IP enable fast, high resolution, flexible wide-spectrum characterization.
Eight 14-bit (with calibration), 16 GSPS RF-DACs provide RF transmit functions.
18 GHz I/O instantaneous bandwidth enables a wider input frequency pipe.
The board can be ordered with different versions of the VERSAL RF family of devices, coupled up to 8GB 64-bit LPDDR5X Processing Memory with ECC.
Up tp 8GB 64-bit of LPDDR5X is also available as the Programmable Logic Memory, allowing data signal processing.
256GB of soldered eMMC managed NAND Flash is available for local data storage.
The VPX3-VERSA-RF-A uses advanced DC/DC power modules from Linear Technology using PMBus and PanaTeQ’s Smart Power Management technology.
The board can act as a Single Board Computer in the VPX system. When the VPX3-VERSA-RF-A is System Controller, there is no need to add any SBC in the VPX System, improving Size, Weight, Power and Cost (SWaP-C).
A large number of the peripherals are available on the VPX backplane: 1x ETH 1000Base-T, 1x USB 2.0, 4x RS-232 or 2x Full-Duplex RS-422, 16x GPIOs, 2x CAN-FD.
The air cooled PanaTeQ System Development Kit VPX3-VERSA-RF-A-PSDK is offered for the developers.
