The Xilinx® T1 Telco accelerator card is a PCI Express® (PCIe) Gen3 x16 compliant card featuring the 16 nm Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC and Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC devices. The T1 form factor is full height, half length (FHHL) and single slot, with a PCIe Gen 3 x16 interface that is x8x8 bifurcated providing x8 links from the host to each MPSoC and RFSoC device. Target applications for the T1 card include:

  • O-RAN fronthaul termination
  • 4G LTE and 5G NR high-PHY lookaside acceleration (supporting 3GPP split option 7-2x)
  • 5G layer 1 (L1) high-PHY lookaside acceleration
  • Optional use of fronthaul ports for a midhaul (F1) interface between distributed and centralized units (DU and CU)
  • 4G LTE and 5G NR inline acceleration of L1 functions (supporting 3GPP split option 7-2x) for up to 4TRX
