V1.0 - 18/12/2024 1 Introduction The ADA-S9303 is a stand-alone RFSoC enclosure providing 16-RF analogue channels, Ethernet, RS232 Serial COM, USB, QSFP and GPIO. The RF channels can run up to 10GSPS (DAC) and 5 GSPS(ADC) The ADA-S9303 uses a single 15V-24V input power supply. An on-board system monitor micro-controller provides voltage/current monitoring of the generated power supplies, as well as providing the capability to turn the supplies on/off via the micro USB interface.
ADA-S9303 User Manual V1.0 - 18/12/2024 2 Main Input Power Supply Requirements The total power requirement will vary depending on the particular FPGA design. A 60W supply would likely be more than enough for most FPGA designs before thermal limits of the device and heatsink become the limiting factor.
V1.0 - 18/12/2024 6 Current/Voltage Monitoring The ADA-S9303 provides current sense functionality on the 12V and combined 3V3 internal supplies. These values can be reported over the micro-USB interface, using the alpha-data "avr2util" utility. Avr2util for Windows and the associated USB driver can be downloaded here: https://support.alpha-data.com/pub/firmware/utilities/windows/...
