Summary
The ADM-XRC-9R4 is a high performance System On Module (SOM) based on the AMD Xilinx
Zynq Ultrascale+ RFSoC, which combines FPGA Fabric, ADC and DAC interfaces and ARM CPUcores in a single low-power device.
The module is provided in rugged XMC (or XMC+) format and is available in Industrial
temperature grades with Air or Conduction Cooling.
