Introducing Intel® Agilex™ 9 FPGA Direct RF-Series
With up to 64Gsps sample rate - chiplet based optimization provides a common front-end, flexible compute, connectivity and frequency agility for military, radar, high-end test, and wireless solutions.
Features
Security
Hardened 200G (Half Duplex) crypto cores supporting AES-GCM encryption/ decryption, MACsec IP to secure network traffic.
DSP Performance
Hardened BFLOAT16 and up to 25 tera floating point operations per second (TFLOPS) of digital signal processing (DSP) performance (FP16) for higher performance per watt.
2nd Gen Hyperflex Architecture
Enables design optimization capabilities to deliver significant fmax performance compared to previous generation high-end Intel FPGAs.
Applications
Military and Government
The high sample rate of the data converter provides the radar and military systems with high instantaneous bandwidth—a requirement for applications including receiving and jamming, reconnaissance, and beamforming.
Test and Measurement
This technology offers direct RF capability, which could provide a smaller footprint from reduced analog system components, lower latency, and lower power, thus offering a major advantage for high-end test equipment with lower SWaP and higher performance.
Wireless Communication
With integrated ADC/DAC technology for FPGAs and the possibilities of future product variants with different data converters via our chiplet integration strategy, this technology is well poised to add new capabilities to the wireless ecosystem.
