SOSA-Aligned 3U Dual RFSoC 100GbE FPGA Board
SOSA-Aligned 3U Dual RFSoC 100GbE FPGA Board
The WILDSTAR 3XR2 FPGA Processor from
Annapolis Micro Systems is 100GbE-enabled, SOSA-aligned, and leverages the processing and A/D & D/A converting power of two Gen 3 Xilinx UltraScale+™ RFSoC FPGAs. This is the first SOSA™-aligned 100Gb Ethernet RFSoC board that combines analog and digital capability in a single 3U OpenVPX slot. Previously these operations would require two or more boards to accomplish.
The 3XR2 also offers a full-length coax-connected Analog Interface Mezzanine Site. This site can be populated in one of three ways:
- With a direct RF digitization mezzanine
- With simple analog circuitry (filtering, amplification, etc.)
- With a 3rd party or customer-supplied analog tuner to allow for digitization of higher frequency signals
Combining filtering and tuning with digitising and processing delivers much lower SWaP-C than separate single-function modules, while maintaining the ability to upgrade either capability separately.
The rugged 3XR2 supports wide temperature ranges via air (VITA 48.1), conduction (VITA 48.2), or air-flow-through (VITA 48.8) cooling. Min/max operating temperatures are -55˚C/85˚C; min/max storage temperatures are -65˚C/105˚C.
