DRF4580L Small Form Factor Direct RF Subsystem

Wideband digital signal processing with Agilex 9 that's rugged and edge-ready

The DRF4580L, a rugged, small-form factor module based on Intel's Agilex™ 9 SoC FPGA Direct RF-Series, integrates four 64 GSPS A/D and D/A converters,16 GB DDR4 memory, and 100 GigE interfaces to bring multichannel data conversion and processing capabilities to radar, EW, and other edge applications. Out-of-the-box software development tools and board support packages allow system architects and designers to configure DSP modules and port across platforms faster.
