PRODUCT BRIEF Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU208 Evaluation Kit OVERVIEW Equipped with the industrys only single-chip adaptable radio device, the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU208 evaluation kit is the ideal platform for both rapid prototyping and high-performance RF application development. The equipped ZU48DR is Xilinxs highest ADC sample rate RFSoC device, designed for applications requiring wide instantaneous bandwidth. Eight integrated SD-FEC cores provide forward error correction at 80% lower power consumption than soft implementations, making the ZU48DR ideal for DOCSIS, microwave backhaul, and small cell applications. Reference add-on cards and connectivity options make the ZCU208 kit suitable for developing, testing, and debug of next-generation products while reducing development complexity and improving time to market.
