The ZU28DRF-FFVG1517 contains eight multi-gigasample (4 GSPS), 12-bit RF analog-to-digital converter (RF-ADC) channels across four banks and eight multi-gigasample (6.544 GSPS), 14-bit RF digital-to-analog (RF-DAC) converter channels across two banks. The ZCU111 board provides a pair of Samtec LPAF connectors for the RF-ADC/RF-DAC clock and RF signals. The FMC-XM500 is an out-of-the-box AMS RFMC plug-in card that mates with the ZCU111 board via two Samtec LPAM (8x40) connectors on the bottom of the XM500 card with connectivity featuring:
• Two DACs and two ADCs routed to HF baluns with –1dB Pi pad attenuators and then to SMAs
• Two DACs and two ADCs routed to LF baluns with –3dB Pi pad attenuators and then to SMAs
• Four DACs and four ADCs routed to SMAs for use with external custom baluns and filters
• Four pairs external input clocks for ADCs
• Four pairs external input clocks for DACs
• While the ZCU111 board RFSoC bank 224-227 VCM nets are wired to the ZCU111 LPAF J47 connector, the RFMC XM500 plug-in board mating LPAM J333 connector does not break out these VCM nets
