WILDSTAR Radial Clock Distribution Board – WP6C20
The WILDSTAR™ Radial Clock Distribution Board allows for synchronization of up to 24 ADC/DAC WFMC+ per Clock Board.
DEPLOYMENT EXAMPLE: Digital Beamforming Case Study
The WILDSTAR Radial Clock Distribution Board allows for synchronization of up to 24 ADC/DAC WFMC+ per Clock Board, with 12 differential radial REFCLK outputs, 12 differential radial AUXCLK outputs, and optional 24 single-ended clock outputs.
The Board is powered by a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC CG Motherboard Controller.
It is 6U OpenVPX compliant and supported for air- or conduction-cooled environments.
