RFSoC Board, Direct RF Processing System – Aligned to SOSA™ Standard, VP431

The VP891 is a 3U VPX high-performance FPGA processing board featuring Xilinx® Virtex UltraScale+™ and Zynq® UltraScale+™ technology. This combination excels at both general-purpose processing and streaming DSP, sometimes eliminating the need for a separate SBC. With its advanced encrypted bit streams and secure boot capability, the VP891 an ideal solution for solutions requiring a high level of security.

VP431, the next generation of our highly successful VP430, is a 3U VPX commercial off-the-shelf direct RF processing system that features the 3rd-generation Xilinx Radio Frequency System-On-Chip (RFSoC). The VP431 maximizes I/O channel density, reduces the radio frequency signal chain complexity, and allows for heterogeneous processing capability.

The VP431 was designed to align with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) technical standard which enables the military to procure cost-effective tactical systems that can also be efficiently upgraded or repurposed.  Primes and integrators will see reduced platform time-to-market, resulting in faster revenue generation by having a menu of existing qualified solution sets that can be rapidly integrated.

The VP431 is a major step forward in performance and density, enabling the use of fewer boards with increased performance – thus minimizing SWaP – as well as the built-in ability to handle advanced MIMO, beamforming, and many military & aerospace, and commercial applications such as communications, sensor processing, radar, and electronic warfare.

The VP431 features the transformational 3rd generation Xilinx® Zynq® Ultrascale+™ RF system-on-chip (RFSoC). The ZU47DR device used on the VP431 includes eight integrated analog-to-digital converters sampling up to 5.0GSPS, eight digital-to-analog converters up to 10.0GSPS, a user-programmable FPGA fabric, and a multi-core Zynq ARM® processing subsystem.
