Pentek Ships Quartz RFSoC Rugged Small Form Factor Subsystem Ideal for Custom Integrations

UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J. - April 12, 2021 - PRLog -- Pentek, Inc., today introduced additions to the Quartz^® RFSoC Architecture family, the Model 6350S and Model 6353S (Gen 3 RFSoC), eight-channel A/D and D/A converter subsystems in rugged small form factor package. Based on Pentek QuartzXM eXpress modules that utilize the Xilinx Zynq^® UltraScale+ RFSoC FPGA, the Model 6350S and Model 6353S are very suitable for SIGINT and COMINT, military communications, EW countermeasures, radar transceiver, test and measurement, SATCOM, LiDAR, 5G and LTE wireless applications.

"Our Quartz RFSoC customers continue to come up with requests for challenging packaging options for our QuartzXM eXpress modules. Pentek is now shipping the Model 6350S and Model 6353S to fill the gap between our module solutions and our fully enclosed system solutions," said Bob Sgandurra, director of Product Management of Pentek. He added, "The small size of these subsystems enables customers to install our Quartz RFSoC technology within their existing enclosures."

Designed for Platform Integration

The Model 6350S and Model 6353S are complete self-contained RF converter and processing subsystems in a small mounting frame. Requiring only a single 12V power supply, the subsystems can be integrated as a component in a larger system with minimal design effort. All analog I/O and control and communication interfaces are easily accessible with industry standard connectors, simplifying connections to other system components. The bottom surface of the subsystem provides an efficient thermal interface enabling conduction cooling and allowing fan-less operation in most installations.

Optimized for SWaP (size, weight and power), the Model 6350S and Model 6353S are very small in size, measuring 1.5" H x 4.6" W x 6.7" D and weighing just under 30 oz. Intended for use in customer provided enclosures, the subsystems are ideal for deployment in challenging and harsh environments.
