Outfitted with an Altera Agilex 7 FPGA, Hitek’s eSOM7 embedded system-on-module pairs with ADI’s Apollo Mixed Signal Front End (MxFE) AD9084/AD9088 evaluation boards. This combined wideband development setup enables customers to seamlessly evaluate and develop high-performance Apollo MxFE-based wireless products in conjunction with Agilex 7 FPGAs.

The Hitek development platform includes two modules: the eSOM7, featuring two 400-pin high-speed mezzanine connectors, and a carrier board that breaks out the FPGA’s SERDES and I/Os. The eSOM7’s Agilex 7 F-tile FPGA integrates hard IP for networking up to 400G Ethernet and PCIe Gen 4. Adding soft IP such as JESD204C, a UDP/IP offload engine (UOE), and DIFI enables an optimized front-end processing and transport design.
For flexibility, designers can choose between two eSOM7 variants: the eSOM7-4F (four F-tiles), which supports all MxFE ADC/DAC channels, or the eSOM7-2F (two F-tiles), which supports half. The carrier module includes a VITA57.4 FMC+ connector with level translation and control logic to interface with ADI’s Apollo MxFE evaluation boards.
The high-performance platform eases the development of a wide range of applications, including radar, electronic warfare systems, phase array antennas, broadband and satellite communication systems, and electronic test and measurement systems.
The HiTek development platform with the eSOM7-2F is available now. The version featuring the eSOM7-4F will be available in Q1 2025. To learn more, click here.
