DRF5580 3U VPX SOSA-aligned FPGA A/D and D/A Board

SOSA-Aligned Wideband Digital Signal Processing with Agilex 9

A SOSA-aligned 3U OpenVPX board based on the Agilex™ 9 SoC FPGA Direct RF-Series, the DRF5580 features four integrated 64 Gs/s ADCs and DACs, 16 GB DDR4 SDRAM memory,​ and 100 GigE optical interfaces to bring multichannel data conversion and processing capabilities to high-bandwidth data streaming, waveform signal generators, communication receivers and transmitters, electronic warfare transponders, and modern sensor systems.

The SOSA-aligned design and unique system-on-module approach allows developers to develop applications on 3U VPX and quickly deploy it on other form-factors.
