VadaTech announces the AMC597 300MHz to 6GHz Octal Versatile Wideband Transceiver

Henderson, NV – June 28, 2017 – VadaTech, a leading manufacturer of integrated systems, embedded boards, enabling software and application-ready platforms, announces the AMC597 300MHz to 6GHz Octal Versatile Wideband Transceiver. This single-module full-size AMC module comprises quad AD9371 RF transceivers coupled to a Xilinx UltraScale Kintex XCKU115 with 20GB DDR4. The transceivers are tunable over 300MHz to 6GHz, covering most licensed and unlicensed cellular bands, with a 250MHz transmit/synthesis bandwidth and 100MHz receive bandwidth. FDD and TDD operation are supported, making the unit suitable for 3G/4G BTS equipment. Observation (to monitor tx output) and sniffer (to monitor other bands) receiver channels are also provided. The unit ships with example source code that can be used royalty-free (on VadaTech hardware) in customer applications.

The same architecture is available as a 3U OpenVPX module in the VPX597, supporting customers who require this advanced capability in this form factor for military communications and related applications (e.g. SDR, SIGINT, first responder and emergency communications).

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
