Overview
The global sprint to 5G leadership is accelerating. Minimizing time-to-market is a key objective, but your first iteration can’t be your last. In the end, the winning solutions will be based on infrastructure that is capable of adapting to evolving standards—without compromising performance and longevity.
As a leading provider of solutions in 5G , AMD provides products that give you the performance you need today—and the programmability you need for tomorrow.
Use Cases
- Radios
- Beamforming and Massive MIMO
- X-Haul and Connectivity Solutions
Radios
Supporting the wide variety of radio technologies is a daunting challenge–let alone keeping up with changing standards and requirements. Only AMD provides a secure, adaptable, standards-compliant solutions for all classes of radios for 4G and 5G networks.
Small Cell to Macro Cell Radios
Each cell radio is unique which is why AMD offers the broad range of capabilities in the AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC, Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC, and Versal™ adaptive SoC series. Incorporating RF blocks with both the AMD DPD and CFR IP saves power, decreases time to market, and improves scalability. AMD programmability allows you to adapt to new standards without new hardware – even after deployment.
Optimized Solutions to Meet Advancing Requirements
As the industry moves forward delivering faster speeds and more features, AMD is there. UltraScale brought world-class 28G transceivers for fronthaul and CPRI, and UltraScale+ introduced unmatched levels of analog integration for RRU applications with Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC. Our latest innovation, Versal adaptive SoCs, introduces an expansive processing platform for 5G beamforming and transport.
AMD Zynq RFSoC DFE
Meet the new member of the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ portfolio that is laser-focused on the digital front end.
Integrating the Digital Front End
The Zynq RFSoC DFE implements known and compute-intensive DFE functions in hard IP achieving the cost and power economies of an ASIC. To meet diverse and evolving radio requirements the device retains an optimal balance of adaptable logic.
Improving Foundational IP
Hardened IP blocks DPD and CFR are based on AMD proven soft cores and have been enhanced to meet 400 MHz instantaneous BW (iBW) requirements. The direct sample RF converters are based on the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen 3 with enhancements to operate up to 7.125 GHz.
Nailing the 5G requirements
The Zynq RFSoC DFE supports single-band, multi-band, and multi-mode LTE and 5G NR carriers, with instantaneous bandwidth of 400 MHz in FR1 (up to 7.125 GHz) and up to 1600 MHz for FR2. Up to 8 component carriers for 8T8R FDD and 16 in TDD are supported.
