3U VPX board optimizes high-speed optical, RF I/O connectivity

PENTEK Model 54851 Jade family of high-performance 3U VPX boards is based on the Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale FPGA and features two 500 MHz 12-bit A/Ds with two programmable multiband digital downconverters (DDCs) and one digital upconverter (DUC) with two 800MHz 16-bit D/As. Unit is the first board utilizing this new 3U VPX architecture with advanced wideband I/O options. Product takes advantage of these VPX I/O options for RF and optical interconnects through the VPX backplane.
