Zynq UltraScale+
Development of an FPGA assembly for the OTB-5G+ project
FPGA/SoC: Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+
Application: Compact interface card for VLC communication, wireless communication
Within the framework of the OTB-5G+ project, we are developing an FPGA assembly for the broadband network connection of wireless transmission media. For the OTB-5G+ project, the assembly is utilised for the implementation of a VLC (Visible Light Communication) line. Furthermore, it can also be used for radio applications with up to two antennas and 400 MHz bandwidth. The network connection is carried out via the integrated 10 Gbit Ethernet interface.
The assembly contains the following main components:
- Xilinx SoC Zynq UltraScale+ (FPGA with ARM processor cores)
- Analogue/digital converter (ADC) with 2 channels, 12 bit resolution and a sampling rate of 1 GSPS
- Digital/analogue converter (DAC) with 2 channels, 12 bit resolution and a sampling rate of 1 GSPS
- DDR-RAM memory
- Power supply for the generation of the required operating voltages
- USB interface
- 10 Gbit Ethernet interface
