iWave Global iW-RainboW-G42P Development Platforms
iWave Global iW-RainboW-G42P Development Platforms come with Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC (ZU29/39/49DR) SOM and an RF-PCIe carrier board for quick prototyping of RF and various applications. These platforms are engineered to deliver exceptional RF performance, featuring multi-channel ADCs and DACs, RF/RT SMA connectors with Balun, and high-speed JESD204B/C interface support. The iW-RainboW-G42P platforms provide high-performance solutions that allow high-speed data conversion, real-time signal processing, and flexible I/O from a compact module, 3U VPX, or PCIe card. These devices support a boot media selection switch (SW2) on the carrier board to configure the SOM boot mode. The Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC (ZU29/ZU29/ZU49) SOM can support QSPI, eMMC, SD, and JTAG boot modes. These platforms are designed using RoHS and REACH-compliant components and manufactured using a lead-free production process. Typical applications include SDR, 5G infrastructure, radar systems, electronic warfare, space, satellite innovations, defense, aerospace, and military equipment.
