FFSS-ADA-VA330

Summary

An FPGA Full System Stack (FFSS) for 14.6.11 SOSA-Aligned 3U VPX Versal RF module with PS or PL-based NVMe data streaming.

This FFSS combines the MLE NVMe PS or PL Subsystem with Alpha Data's ADA-VA330 Board featuring the AMD Versal(TM) RF VR1602 for 16 DACs and 16 ADCs at 14-bit resolution with up to 18GHz bandwidth combined with powerful hardened IP for FFT, channelization, LDPC decode, and resample. All key functionality is pre-integrated and pre-validated and ships as a compilable FPGA design project along with an IP-Core license from MLE. The FFSS-ADA-VA330 comprehensively manages the data path, configuring the PCIe core for high-speed transfer. Implementations using either the PS and PL are available depending on the customer use case.
