The RFX-8440 is a passively-cooled 3/4-length PCI Express card with single- and double-width cooling options for server and edge platforms.

CONCORD, N.H. – BittWare, a Molex company in Concord, N.H., is introducing the RFX-8440 PCI Express data acquisition card for embedded computing applications in phased array radar, satellite communications (SATCOM), 5G, and LTE wireless.

The RFX-8440 capitalizes on the Zynq UltraScale+ field-programmable gate array-based radio frequency system-on-chip (RFSoC) from Xilinx Inc. to address the sub-6 GHz RF spectrum.

The RFX-8440 is a passively-cooled 3/4-length PCI Express embedded computing card with single- and double-width cooling options for server and edge platforms. It integrates RF-sampling A/D and D/A converters and a multi-core ARM processor to create a multi-channel data conversion and processing solution on one chip.

The BittWare RFX-8440 data acquisition card also offers analog front-end for L Band, variants; clock management and control circuitry for single- and multi-card synchronization; 16 gigabytes of DDR4 memory for the ARM processor; eight gigabytes of DDR4 memory for the FPGA programmable logic; eight OCuLink expansion port for additional PCI Express, storage or network I/O; GPIO digital I/O header for specialized application interfacing; and support for MathWorks tools.
