DRF2380 System on Module (SoM)

DRF2380 System on Module (SoM)

The DRF2380 System on Module (SoM) is a breakthrough in compact, high‑performance direct RF technology. Integrating four 32 GSPS A/D channels, four 16 GSPS D/A channels based on AMD’s Versal RF–enabled processing into a rugged 2.5" × 3.5" board‑level design, it delivers wideband signal digitization and generation without traditional frequency‑conversion stages. Its FPGA‑class compute resources and flexible SoM design make it ideal for deployment in Open Systems Architectures like 3U VPX, SOSA, and custom embedded platforms supporting advanced electronic warfare (EW), radar, and countermeasure missions.

The DRF2380 provides customers with a decisive advantage by combining high channel density, low‑latency processing, and wideband RF coverage in a single SWaP‑optimized module. This enables faster detection and characterization of modern threat signals and supports real‑time decision‑making at the edge. With integrated Versal RF processing, support for high‑speed connectivity, and a streamlined development ecosystem—including the Navigator MX tool suite and Carrier Design Package—the DRF2380 simplifies system design, accelerates deployment, and delivers mission‑ready performance for next‑generation EW and radar systems.
