Summary

The ADA-S9303 is a standalone fully enclosed 8 channel ADC (5 GSPS@14 bit - Gen3 RFSoC) and 8 channel DAC (10 GSPS@14 bit - Gen3 RFSoC) data converter based on AMD RFSoC technology. This is a stand alone deployable platform enclosing an assembly of one ADM-XRC-9R1-B and one ADC-XMC-STANDALONE carrier with all analog I/O brought out to front panel SMA connectors. Digital connection off chip is available through a choice of system interfaces including Ethernet, USB and High-Speed Serial Comms.

The ADA-S9303 can be remotely powered on and off via the USB connection to the on-board system management controller that runs off the standby power supply.
