RFSOC system on modual (SOM)
The integration of direct RF-sampling data converters onto a single SoM eliminates the need for external data converters, 50% reduced power and footprint over a multi-component solution–including eMMC and DDR.
Built on AMD's highly integrated RFSoC architecture, the platform combines:
- Quad-core ARM® Cortex®-A53 Processing System
- Dual-core ARM® Cortex®-R5 Real-Time Processors
- 16nm UltraScale+ FPGA Fabric
- Embedded Peripherals and High-Speed Connectivity
- Integrated RF Data Converters supporting operation up to 6 GHz RF bandwidth
Direct RF sampling architecture, the ZU48DR integrates:
- 8-channel 14-bit ADCs up to 5 GSPS
- 8-channel 14-bit DACs up to 10 GSPS
- 8 SD-FEC blocks
- Full programmable direct RF sampling capability
Key benefits
- Fully Programmable Radio Platform
RF signal processing is moved into the digital domain, enabling a fully programmable software-defined solution for multi-mode and multi-band radio architectures.
- Reduced System Power
Advanced converter technology and elimination of FPGA-to-analog interfaces such as JESD204 help reduce overall system power consumption.
- Smaller System Footprint
Integrated RF converters eliminate external converter devices and associated JESD PCB circuitry, enabling higher channel density and more compact designs.
- Shorter Design Cycles
Fewer RF components and simplified converter configuration within AMD Vivado™ streamline development and reduce hardware complexity.
Who should care about this
If you're building any of the following, this module was designed for you:
- Software-defined radio platforms — multi-channel TX/RX on a single module
- Portable spectrum monitoring and analysis tools — sub-1W standby makes handheld viable
- Embedded RF sensing and signal acquisition nodes — compact, low-power, field-deployable
- Test and measurement equipment — rapid prototyping with integrated RF
- Multi-channel RF receiver / transmitter systems — 6T6R out of the box
Built to last
AMD's UltraScale+ adaptive SoCs are supported through 2045, with typical product lifespans extending well past 15 years. When you design on this platform, you're not chasing obsolescence — you're building on a foundation that will be there for the life of your product.
The bottom line
The ANZLPRFSOM65DR puts 6T6R wideband RF capability, heterogeneous Arm processing, and programmable logic into a 9 × 13 cm module that sips under 1 watt in standby. It eliminates the need for external RF data converters, slashes PCB area, and brings what was previously a rack-mounted capability into the palm of your hand.
We're ready to show you what it can do.
