Description
We compare and share design-in experiences of Xilinx's, 20 nm, Kintex UltraScale KU060 for space applications. This FPGA offers 726k LUTs and 32, 12.5 Gbps high-speed serial links, offering the potential to enable the next generation of real-time, high-throughput payloads. The KU060 can instantiate Xilinx's, TMR, MicroBlaze 32-bit RISC MPU for fault-tolerant applications as well as Vivado's IP Integrator to automate the creation of TMR designs.
To complement the KU060, we also discuss and share design-in experiences of Xilinx's, new 16 nm UltraScale+ RFSoC device. This part integrates wideband GSPS ADCs and DACs capable of directly processing RF frequencies, offering huge potential to miniaturise the next generation of ground-segment satellite transceivers.
