by: AMD

The 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

Overview

Product Description

The 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 8 12-bit 4.096GSPS ADCs, 8 14-bit 6.554GSPS DACs, and 8 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.
