AFE8000: AFE80xx and AFE80xxEVM

Part Number: AFE8000
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE8092, , AFE8030

Hi

We are interested in doing some prototyping with the AFE80xx series and a FPGA system

Three questions -

1. Is there a summary/explanation of the differences between the AFE8000, AFE8030 and AFE8092 so we can figure out which is the most suitable?

2. Are all available on an EVM are. AFE8000AFE, AFE8030AFE and AFE80902AFE available? If so what are the differences?

3. We want to use a XILINX VPK120 development board (premium Versal series) - can you comment on whether the AFE80xx has been tested with this and what support is available for this FPGA platform?

  • Hi Jonathan,

    1. The main difference between the AFE8000 and the other two devices is that the AFE8092 & AFE8030 are designed more for Wireless Infrastructure applications. The AFE8000 is our catalog part and more of a general purpose part. In the datasheets for these parts you can also see that the differences between them will be the number of channels, RF frequency range, and some digital features.

    2. The AFE8000 and AFE8092 both have EVMs available. These can be accessed on their respective TI pages. 

    3. These devices have not been tested with the Versal series FPGA but it has been tested with the Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale+ on the TSW14J58. Testing with the Versal is planned for when the TI204c IP supports the Versal FPGA. Also, the EVMs are designed to be compatible with most Xilinx dev kits.
