Summary
The ADM-VA601 is a 6U Space VPX reference platform for the AMD Versal AI Core XQRVC1902 Adaptable SoC platform for Space 2.0. This successor to the ADM-VA600 replaces the design with a larger 220mm deep Space VPX form factor board and supports a full radiation tolerant core power supply developed with TI and EPC Space capable of up to 160A performance.
Versal AI Core provides a massive leap forward in reconfigurable and customizable processing performance for Space mission deployment of compute-intensive applications such as Signal Processing and Machine Learning. The platform is designed to accept components suitable for Space 2.0 level missions with limited radiation environment or mission length, such as LEO applications. The standard /DEV version is for development purposes and fitted with commercial/no-flight components. Fully radiation tolerant and space flight versions are available. (Contact sales for details.)
The board features reference Space Grade power supplies co-designed with Texas Instruments and EPC Space, along with many other Space Enhanced Plastic devices covering clocking and system monitoring functionality. The board also features Space Grade DDR4 Memory modules from Teledyne e2v. See the ADK-VA601 page for the complete system overview.
