To keep the MicroTCA standard alive it has to follow major developments of technology. The most prominent progress is the increasing transmission speed of CPUs and FPGAs. And on the application side the increasing sizes of image sensors together with increasing update rates for example require much higher system throughput. To address these needs the MicroTCA Next Generation working group of...

Lukas Böckmann (powerBridge), Tobias Naber (powerBridge)

06/12/2023, 10:00

Based on an existing RF-SoC system, powerBridge is developing an MTCA FPGA Board based on an RFSOC FPGA. Due to the high ADC (10 Gsps) and DAC (5 Gsps) this board will fit for application of signal generation, SDR, Quantum Computing, etc.

In combination with optional Front Ends there is the possibility of pre filtering and amplifying the signals.
