AV155 – Versal™ RF
Product overview
The AV155 is a high-performance solution in our portfolio of Ultra Wideband Radar, ECM, and SIGINT systems, built on a rugged, conduction-cooled platform.
This 3U VPX board is powered by the AMD Versal™ RF VR1652 or VR1952, delivering exceptional processing capabilities for the most demanding applications. It features 4 or 8 channels of 32 Gsps 14-bit ADC (depending on the model) and 8 channels of 16 Gsps 14-bit DAC, with an analog bandwidth of up to 18 GHz. An ultra-low jitter clock synthesizer ensures precise timing, with support for both external and internal sampling clock references.
Designed in full compliance with the SOSA™ standard, the AV155 guarantees seamless interoperability across radar, electronic warfare, and communications systems, supporting smooth integration with diverse communication protocols and user-defined I/Os.
The board also includes 3×32-bit 64 Gb DDR5 memory running at 8533 Mbps LPDDR5X, providing ample bandwidth for real-time signal processing and high-speed data operations. Its conduction-cooled design makes it ideal for deployment in harsh environments.
The AV155 is perfectly suited for applications in Phased-Array Radar Transmitter/Receiver systems, Electronic Warfare (ESM/ECM), Broadband Communication, Target Radar Simulation/Generation, and airborne embedded systems, addressing the needs of the most demanding markets.
