T2 Telco Accelerator Card User Guide UG1496 (v1.0) June 15, 2022 Xilinx is creating an environment where employees, customers, and partners feel welcome and included. To that end, we’re removing non- inclusive language from our products and related collateral. We’ve launched an internal initiative to remove language that could exclude people or reinforce historical biases, including terms embedded in our software and IPs.
Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction The Xilinx ® T2 Telco accelerator card, shown in the following figure, is a single slot, half height, half length (HHHL) plug-in card. It is compliant with PCI Express ® technology, supporting PCIe Gen3 x16 and Gen4 x8 bifurcated rates on the host interface. Figure 1: T2 Telco Accelerator Card ®...
Chapter 1: Introduction CB processing with HARQ buffer management in lookaside mode ○ Note: The Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZU48DR device also supports concurrent 4G LTE/5G NR L1 offload, assuming that the necessary hardware resources are available. The T2 card value proposition is in offloading CPU intensive encode and decode computations involving LDPC operations, thereby reducing costly CPU resources.
Chapter 2: Features Chapter 2 Features The main features of the T2 card are as follows: • Card over-stress protection: The T2 card has a card protection circuit that initiates a fatal shutdown if either temperature or power consumption thresholds are crossed. Before this threshold is reached, however, the SC signals to the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC to reduce the 5G workload power immediately.

Chapter 2: Features • Developer support: Developer support features for the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC on the T2 card are provided through the maintenance port. See Chapter 4: Maintenance Port for details. • LED: A green power-on LED is present on the I/O bracket to indicate the card is powered and in operation.
Chapter 3: Pin Mapping Chapter 3 Pin Mapping This chapter presents the pin mapping for the ZU48DR Zynq ® UltraScale+™ RFSoC on the T2 card. PCIe Interface The PCIe ® interface on the T2 card has 16 lanes and can operate in Gen 3 x16 mode or Gen 4 x8x8 bifurcated mode.

Chapter 3: Pin Mapping • In-band SC firmware update: Allows the SC firmware to be updated using PCIe technology. The I2C interface is connected to MIO pins of the Zynq ® UltraScale+™ RFSoC PS, meaning that an integrated IP solution is available. The I2C interface must be operated in slave mode and cannot be a master because the SC is the master, and drives an SCL clock.

Chapter 4: Maintenance Port Chapter 4 Maintenance Port The T2 card card has a DMB II connector located at the rear of the card, on the opposite side of the I/O bracket. It serves as a maintenance port for developer access to the following ports: •...
Chapter 5: Power Chapter 5 Power The power consumption of the Zynq ® UltraScale+™ RFSoC XCZU48DR-2FSVG1517E device must be limited to a 40A maximum current draw on the combined V and SD-FEC rails. This CCINT limitation is rooted in the 0.85V POL powering these rails. It is expected that he 5G workload running on the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC can be accommodated well within this power limit.
