Stringent multi-module synchronization for massive array deployment

Phased array systems require precise alignment of gigasample data converters. XRF programmable ultra-low phase noise RF-PLLs and embedded firmware borrow from the JESD204B SYSREF concept to enable system synchronization at scale without complicated clock distribution architectures.

Programmable Ultra-low Noise RF-PLLs Ease System Synchronization

Maximizing the fidelity of AMD RFSoC giga-sample data converters requires precision clocking. XRF modules incorporate a cascade of best-in-class RF PLL clock synthesizers to offer programmability, ultra-low phase noise, and built-in synchronization.

Direct Access to AMD RFSoC Data Converters

Rated for industrial temperature ranges, XRF modules are designed to reduce integration complexities. Evaluation and prototype can begin day one, using XRF firmware and software to configure the AMD RFSoC data converters, stream waveforms, and automate testing.

Signal Integrity Maximizes RF Performance

All RF signals are routed differentially with matched length and phase, including device flight times, to faithfully preserve analog signal quality of the AMD RFSoC data converters. High performance PCB materials provide controlled impedances to minimize signal reflection and insertion loss.

Full-duplex Digital Interface Facilitates Tiling in High Performance Real-time Systems

XRF modules present all 16 AMD GTY high-speed serial transceivers for high-bandwidth digital exchange with peers, including a custom implementation of AMD Aurora LogiCOREâ„¢ IP for low overhead, full-duplex serial communication.

Power Subsystem Manages Over 12 Unique Low-noise Voltage Domains

Complex SoCs require sophisticated power sequencing, regulation and management. XRF modules remove this complexity from your system integration, requiring only a single input voltage between 5.5V and16V. Voltage regulation and thermal monitoring occur in real-time, orchestrated by software, firmware, and linux drivers to maintain system health.

Software & Reference Designs

Combine a production ready XRF module with an XRF Carrier Card and Avalonâ„¢ software suite to jumpstart proof-of-concept and application development. Then deploy your system with the same XRF module used for proof-of-concept. Example code and tutorials demonstrate AMD RFSoC multi-tile sync (multi-converter sync) and multi-board synchronized analog capture.

Low Complexity Carrier Lowers Risk and Allows Quick-turn Customization

Start software and firmware development with our standard XRF Carrier card. Develop your application-specific carrier using our CAD source files as a baseline for customization.
