1.1 Product Description ​

The ZYNQ chip in the ZU49DR_COME is based on Xilinx's Zynq™ UltraScale+™ RFSoC Gen3 series XCZU49DR-2FFVF1760E. It also incorporates a Kontron x86 COME module to provide superior data processing performance.

The ZU49DR_COME uses eight Micron MT40A512M16HA DDR4 chips. Four DDR4 chips are connected to the PS side, forming a 64-bit data bus, and four DDR4 chips are connected to the PL side, also forming a 64-bit data bus. The maximum operating data rate of the DDR4 SDRAM is 2400Mb/s. The board also integrates two 1Gb QSPI FLASH chips for boot storage configuration and system files.It also expands to one M.2 NVMe port for high-performance data processing and storage, and another SD card slot for storing file systems and other user data files. The ZU49DR_COME has two onboard 100Gbps QSFP28 connectors for optical ports, enabling efficient high-speed data processing in parallel with analog and digital conversion. The PS side expands to one USB 3.0 port, and both the PS and PL sides each expand to one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port. This board expands to include one USB 3.0 port , one RJ45 port, one video interface, and one embedded storage chip via board-to-board connector U21 .

The ZU49DR_COME board features 16 ADC and 16 DAC ports. The ZU49DR_COME with the ZU49DR FPGA is powered by 16 14-bit 2.5 GSPS ADC ports and 16 14-bit 9.85 GSPS DAC ports. The ADC and DAC ports utilize the high-performance miniature RF connector 190-0108-AAD1.

1.2 ZYNQ Chip ​

The ZU49DR_COME utilizes a Xilinx Zynq™ UltraScale+™ RFSoC Gen3 series chip, model XCZU49DR-2FFVF1760E. The FPGA resources in the programmable logic section provide high-throughput digital signal processing (DSP) and IP cores, such as digital up/down conversion (DUC/DDC) cores. FPGA acceleration is easier to implement through the software-defined radio development architecture application programming interface and FPGA infrastructure. This facilitates rapid startup and operation, allowing focus on value-added IP. FPGA systems for commonly used functions such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters are a good starting point. Users can add their own IP blocks to modular architecture using their preferred Hardware Description Language (HDL). In addition to the FPGA architecture portion of the system, the Xilinx UltraScale+ RFSoC also features four onboard Application Processing Units (APUs) and two Real-Time Processing Units (RPUs), suitable for applications requiring independent operation of an onboard embedded operating system.

1.3 Product Features ​

  • Maximize input/output channel density

  • It supports 16 channels of 14-bit RF-ADC and 16 channels of 14-bit RF-DAC, providing a comprehensive RF signal chain to maximize input/output channel density, high bandwidth, heterogeneous processing capabilities, and low power consumption. It can synchronize all 16 channels and multiple boards to meet the needs of larger system applications .

  • Reduce RF signal chain complexity

  • Radar and EW systems with multiple channels face cost and complexity challenges, as more channels mean more expensive and larger RF signal up/down conversions and signal conditioning. A common solution is direct RF sampling—a more flexible approach than traditional analog frequency conversion and filtering. Direct RF sampling can be implemented in the digital domain, consuming less power and generally being less expensive. This means the RF front end can handle a wider bandwidth than traditional analog techniques while consuming less power. As with RFSoC devices, using very high sampling rates in the data converters means that most of the analog filtering and conditioning can be done closer to the antenna, providing a simpler and more flexible front end than in the past. By integrating the ADC and DAC into the device, the need for the JESD204B is eliminated—simplifying design complexity and helping to reduce latency.

  • Heterogeneous processing capability

  • Radar and electronic warfare systems, for example, require streaming DSPs with FPGAs and general-purpose processors for decision-making and control. Previously, these processing requirements were handled by separate modules; now, with the ZU49DR_COME, both functionalities can be integrated into a single module using RFSoC technology. This is particularly relevant to the growing demands of today's smart radar/electronic warfare technologies. Furthermore, the simplified integration with RF sampling devices eliminates the complexity of the JESD204B high-speed serial interface. This means that basic functions such as inter-device communication consume fewer programmable logic elements, resulting in more computational resources available for application-specific IP than before.

1.4 Application Scenarios ​

  • Communication application scenarios

  • 5G and LTE wireless technologies: With Zynq RFSoC, wireless infrastructure manufacturers can achieve significant reductions in footprint and power consumption, which is crucial for the development of later MIMO technologies.

  • Satellite communications: Designers can build high-speed, multi-functional instruments for signal generation and analysis by utilizing direct RF sampling, highly flexible, reconfigurable logic, and software programmability in the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC.

  • Radar application scenarios

  • Radar signal processing and data link: Equipped with a 16-channel ADC and a 16-channel DAC, it can meet greater application requirements and achieve low-latency transmission and reception in early warning scenarios, thus obtaining the best response time.

  • Test and Measurement Application Scenarios

  • Designers can leverage RF sampling, highly flexible, reconfigurable logic, and software programmability in the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC to build high-speed, multi-functional instruments for signal generation and analysis.

The ZU49DR_COME is equipped with a PCIe x4 standard M.2 interface for connecting NVMe SSDs. The M.2 interface uses an M-key slot and only supports PCI-E; users must select a PCIe type SSD. The PCIe signals are directly connected to the ZU49DR's BANK131 MGT transceiver. The four TX and RX signals are differentially connected to LANE0, LANE1, LANE2, and LANE3 of the MGT. The PCIe clock is provided by a 100MHz differential clock. The circuit design diagram is shown below:

2.15 Clock Configuration ​

The Zynq UltraScale RFSoC offers multiple clock options, with dual crystal oscillators on the core module. The system clock defaults to a 33.33MHz active crystal oscillator. The X1 crystal operates at 32.768kHz, driving the internal RTC circuitry. A schematic diagram of the clock circuit design is shown below:

image24.png

Figure 2.15.1 - Crystal oscillator schematic diagram

image25.png

Figure 2.15.2 - Clock Distribution Connection Diagram

The system uses the LMK04828 clock chip to distribute the clock signals required by the ADC and DAC. The LMK04828's CLKIN0 and CLKIN1 are external differential inputs. OSCIN provides two input methods: one using a 100MHz high-stability OCXO, and the other an external input clock. The board also supports one external output clock (100MHz). The external output clock and the external input clock share a single J16 SMP channel. The external input and board output clock channels cannot be used simultaneously; only one scenario can be selected at a time.

Note: When using OSCIN as an external clock source, the power supply enable of the local clock needs to be disabled to prevent interference between the two clocks.

  • Scenario 1 : The input source is a local OCXO, which can also output one 100MHz clock signal. The OCXO's power supply needs to be enabled .

image26.png

image27.png

Figure 2.15.1 - Scenario 1: Circuit diagram of input source using local OCXO 100MHz

  • Scenario 2 : An external clock is selected as the input source, and the power supply enable of the OCXO needs to be disabled.

2.16 Power Supply ​

The ZU49DR_COME uses a DC 24V~32V power input and outputs 12V power through an LTM4613. The 12V system power supply is converted into different voltages by a buck regulator to drive the FPGA and other circuits on the board. The power supply for the board's ADC and DAC is provided by a linear low-voltage LDO, which has good power supply rejection (PSRR).

The ZU49DR_COME power supply design block diagram is shown below:
