Introduction
Overview
The ZCU111 evaluation board features the Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC ZCU28DR device.
This board enables the evaluation of the integrated RF-DAC and RF-ADC functionality, soft
decision forward error correction (SDFEC), and FPGA fabric and RFSoC features, such as the
quad core Arm® Cortex™-A53 processing system (PS) and the dual-core Arm Cortex-R5
real-time processors. The ZCU111 evaluation board is equipped with many of the common
board-level features needed for design development, such as DDR4 memory, networking
interfaces, FMC+ expansion port, and access to the new RF-FMC interface.
The ZCU111 evaluation board kit includes an out-of-the-box FMC XM500 balun transformer
add-on card to support signal analysis and loopback evaluation. This card includes
on-board high-frequency and low frequency baluns and SMAs for custom baluns and
filtering. For more information on this card, see Appendix D, HW-FMC-XM500.
