AMD Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC XCZU47DR FPGA Development Board ADK-47
AMD Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC XCZU47DR FPGA Development Board ADK-47
The ADK-47 is a heterogeneous FPGA + GPU AI computing and RF development platform built around the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC XCZU47DR. Its ACW47 core board integrates direct RF sampling with 8 channels of 14-bit RF-ADC (up to 5 GSPS) and 8 channels of 14-bit RF-DAC (up to 9.85 GSPS), 930K logic cells and 4,272 DSP slices, alongside a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 + dual-core Arm Cortex-R5F processor system, 6GB of DDR4 memory, 32GB of eMMC Flash and 256MB of QSPI Flash. The carrier board provides a socket and full interface set for an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin / Thor GPU module, interconnected over PCIe Gen3 x8 at up to 80 Gbps, for 241 to 2070 TOPS of AI compute depending on the module fitted. The platform simplifies the RF signal chain, maximises input/output channel density and suits high-bandwidth, low-power designs for 5G/6G communications, radar systems, satellite communications, autonomous driving, robotics and multimodal AI workloads.
Please note: the NVIDIA Jetson GPU module is optional and is not included. Supported modules are the Jetson T5000 (Thor, 2070 FP4 TFLOPS), the Jetson AGX Orin 64GB (275 TOPS) and the Jetson AGX Orin 32GB (241 TOPS).
