Description:


This course is structured to provide designers with an overview of the hard block capabilities for the Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC family. Special emphasis is placed on the Data Converter and Soft-Decision FEC blocks.  Power estimation is covered to help designers identify the power demands of the device in various operating modes. Since the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC is both a high-speed and an analog and digital device, proper layout and PCB considerations are also covered. 

* This course focuses on the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC architecture. Check with your local Authorized Training Provider for the specifics of the in-class lab environment or other customizations.  After completing this comprehensive training, you will have the necessary skills to: 

 

  • Describe in general the new Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC family 
  • Identify typical applications for the data converters 
  • Describe the architecture and functionality of the ADC 
  • Utilize the ADC via configuration, simulation, and implementation 
  • Describe the architecture and functionality of the DAC 
  • Utilize the DAC via configuration, simulation, and implementation 
  • Identify the requirements and options for data converter PCB designs 
  • Describe the architecture and functionality of the SD-FEC hard IP 
  • Utilize the SD-FEC via configuration, simulation, and implementation
