SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ: XLNX), the leader in adaptive and intelligent computing,
today announced it has extended its award-winning
Zynq® UltraScale+™ Radio Frequency (RF)
System-on-Chip (SoC) portfolio with greater RF performance and
scalability. Building on the multi-market success of the Zynq
UltraScale+ RFSoC base portfolio, next-generation devices can cover
the entire sub-6 gigahertz (GHz) spectrum, which is a critical need
for next-generation 5G deployment. They support direct RF sampling
of up to 5 giga-samples per-second (GS/S) 14-bit analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) and 10 GS/S 14-bit digital-to-analog converters
(DACs), both up to 6 GHz of analog bandwidth.
Xilinx's RFSoC portfolio is the only single-chip adaptable radio
platform that is designed to address current and future industry
requirements. The portfolio now includes:
- Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen 2: Sampling now with
production scheduled for June 2019,
this device meets regional deployment timelines in Asia and supports 5G New Radio.
- Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen 3: Provides full sub-6GHz
direct-RF support, extended millimeter wave interface, and up to 20
percent power reduction in the RF data converter subsystem compared
to the base portfolio. The product will be available in 2H
2019.
The new products monolithically integrate higher-performance RF
data converters that deliver the broad spectrum coverage required
for the deployment of 5G wireless communications systems, cable
access, advanced phased-array radar solutions and additional
applications including test & measurement and satellite
communications. By eliminating discrete components, the devices
enable up to a 50 percent power and footprint reduction, making
them ideal for the needs of telecommunications operators seeking to
enable massive multiple-input, multiple-output base stations for
their 5G systems.
"We are committed to helping our customers accelerate
innovation, and are especially excited to drive the development of
adaptable, intelligent 5G infrastructure with these new, higher
performing additions to the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC portfolio," said
Liam Madden, executive vice
president of hardware and systems product development, Xilinx. "Now
with complete coverage of sub-6GHz spectrum bands, it will give our
customers even more of a competitive advantage by allowing them to
accelerate the design and development of next-gen systems
today."
With pin-compatibility across the portfolio, customers can
design and deploy their systems now using first-generation devices
with a roadmap to Gen 2 and Gen 3 for greater performance.
