Versal Adaptive SoCs by AMD Incorporates RF Sampling Data Converters

February 2025

In a recent development, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has made a significant addition to its Versal adaptive system-on-chips (SoCs) platform. The technology giant has now incorporated RF sampling data converters into its Versal adaptive SoCs, enhancing their performance and capabilities.

The new addition will allow AMD's Versal adaptive SoCs to handle real-time signal processing tasks with greater efficiency. It will prove particularly beneficial in systems that require high speed and low latency, such as 5G wireless communication infrastructure and electronic warfare systems.

Thanks to the RF sampling data converters, the Versal adaptive SoCs will be able to work at a speed of up to 6.8 Gsps for analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) while ensuring a speed of up to 10 Gsps for digital-to-analog conversion (DAC). The RF sampling data converters also come with an integrated numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) and digital down-conversion (DDC) for flexible frequency planning.

The RF sampling data converters will be available in the Versal Premium, Versal Prime, and Versal AI Edge series. AMD's move to add RF sampling data converters to their Versal adaptive SoCs platform is aimed at meeting the growing demands in the wireless communication and electronic warfare space.
