Based on the Intel 10 AX-Series
With up to 32GHz of analog bandwidth and eight 64GS/s analog to digital and digital to analog converters, coupled with a capable Stratix 10 FPGA fabric, the KRM-10 Direct RF SoM is ideally suited for a range of high bandwidth signal analysis or generation applications deployed in space constrained environments.
The extensive FPGA fabric is complemented by two 72-bit DDR4 memory banks, suitable for sample buffering, real time pattern storage for complex arbitrary signal generation or extensive coefficient storage for edge AI implementations.
Based on AMD Zynq XCZU49DR
The KRM-6 RFSoC FPGA Module is based in the AMD/Xilinx XCZU49DR and offers 16CH ADC and 16DAC channels. Driven by the higher pin-count FPGA package, the module is slightly larger than our original KRM-4 SoM family. The extra space allowed us to incorporate ECC on both PL RAM interfaces, and the optimization of the connector pinning provides additional PL I/O. High speed data access is provided by 16 lanes of GTY transceivers at up to 28Gbs.
The Module operates form a single 12V supply, and features the same housekeeping bus as all of KRs recent FPGA SoMs, easing their integration into complex systems.
Based on Zynq-UltraScale+ RFSoC
A compact, high end module that features the AMD RFSoC embedded in a most versatile design so that it can be optimally utilized in a multitude of applications. Only a 12V supply is required as all FPGA and RAM voltages are generated on board. Everything from power sequencing, configuration and clock generation is implemented on board. The Dual 64Bit PL DDR4 RAM, operating at 2.4GT/s, provides the highest PL memory bandwidth of any currently available RFSoC module. Sixteen 28Gbit transceivers provide ample connectivity, on board dual QSPI and eMMC memories allow for a multitude of boot options and storage.
Based on the AMD RFSoC DFE Ultrascale+ series
The RFSoC DFE family of AMD features an enhanced analog bandwidth of 7.125GHz, up from 6GHz on Gen3 devices and 4GHz of Gen1 devices. With the additional bandwidth, higher Nyquist zone applications become feasible. The DFE hard IP and Low Phy hard IP blocks such as Channel filter, DUC/DDC, MIXER, FFT and iFFT and more implement common functions in an energy efficient way. The balanced blend of hard IP and sizeable FPGA fabric with almost 500k System Logic cells and more than 1800 DSP Blocks, makes this family exceptionally capable in a broad range of wireless applications. Implemented in a compact 65x75mm from factor, the KRM-2 SoM is the perfect choice for deploying this marvel of a chip.
