Pentek Announces Quartz RFSoC PCIe Board Ideal for Wireless Applications

Pentek Quartz Architecture with Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC FPGA; Eight wideband A/D and D/A converters; Optional front panel dual optical MPO interface for gigabit serial communication; Navigator Design Suite for streamlined software and IP development.

Upper Saddle River, NJ, August 15, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Pentek, Inc., today introduced an addition to the Quartz. RFSoC Architecture family, the Model 7050, an eight-channel A/D and D/A converter, PCIe double-wide board based on the Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+ RFSoC. The Model 7050 brings RFSoC performance to PC platforms with a complete system on a board. The Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC FPGA from Xilinx is the industry’s only single-chip, adaptable radio platform, making it very popular for 5G and LTE wireless, SIGINT and COMINT, EW countermeasures, radar on a chip, test and measurement, satellite communications and LiDAR applications.

"The PCIe form factor makes it easy to develop or deploy on a standard desktop PC," said Bob Sgandurra, director of Product Management of Pentek. He added, "The Pentek software developed on the PCIe board can be moved seamlessly to other form factor platforms, including VPX and custom SFF (Small Form Factor). Pentek’s extensive support and world-class FPGA technology clearly separate this from other PCIe solutions.”

The Model 7050 design places the RFSoC as the cornerstone of the architecture. All control and data paths are accessible by the RFSoC’s programmable logic and processing system. A full suite of Pentek developed IP and software functions utilize this architecture to provide data capture, timing and interface solutions for many of the most common application requirements.

The Quartz Architecture Difference
The Pentek Quartz architecture embodies a streamlined approach to FPGA boards, simplifying the design to reduce power and cost, while still providing some of the highest performance FPGA resources available today. Designed to work with Pentek’s Navigator™ Design Suite tools, the combination of Quartz and Navigator offers users an efficient path to developing and deploying software and FPGA IP for data and signal processing.
