Technical Specification

The Avnet XRF16Tm RFSoC System-on-Module is designed for integration into deployed RF systems demanding small footprint, low power, and real-time processing. The XRF16 features the AMD Xilinx ZynqRegistered UltraScale+Tm RFSoC Gen2, with 16 RF-ADC, 16 RF-DAC channels, and 5GHz RF bandwidth.

Combine the production-ready XRF16 module with the XRF16 Carrier Card and AvalonTm software suite to jumpstart proof-of-concept and application development. Then deploy your system with the same XRF16 module used for proof-of-concept. Example code and tutorials demonstrate AMD Xilinx RFSoC multi-tile sync (multi-converter sync) and multi-board synchronized analog capture. Product Brief (Datasheet)
