Image of Carlisle IT RFSoc Accessories Amphenol CDI supports users of Xilinx RFSoC eval boards with interconnect test solutions that allow the user to evaluate chip performance with low-cost and high-performance solutions. Amphenol CDI products supporting this solution include CoreHC™, RF DC blocks, and RF jumpers. CoreHC is a high-density, 2.5 mm pitch spacing ganged solution utilized on Xilinx’s next-generation RFSoC eval boards with a bandwidth from DC to 26 GHz operating frequency. This low-loss, low-cost, high-performance test solution allows users to get close to the device under test (DUT) for optimal results. Interconnect products provided are low-cost RF adapters, DC blocks, and RF jumpers optimized for use with Xilinx products.
