VIPturbo / Afterburner

Developing on Afterburner

VIPturbo and Afterburner

• What are the key differences between the two boards?
• VIPturbo is based upon an FPGA design | Afterburner incorporates an ASIC
• While both boards operate identically, AB is 60% smaller and uses 50% power
• Same 80 pin interface and Afterburner is 100% backward compatible with

VIPturbo HIB platform

VIPturbo SDK Afterburner SDK HIB HIB Modem Modem

Mechanical Differences

SWaP Considerations

• Afterburner Size
• 2x4 inch / 12 layer board
• 66% reduction from VIPturbo
• Weight
• VIPturbo modem = 1280
• Afterburner = 790
• 38% fewer component count
• Power
• 50% reduction in power
• Design goal spec was 7w total
• Estimated actual is 5-5.5w

Electrical Differences

• Wider input power range
• Lower output power at SMA
• Reduced heat for power dissipation

Design Improvements

• Input power requirements
• Afterburner has wider / more flexible input power range
• Power consumption is reduced by 50%
• ASIC replaced the FPGA
• ADC implemented in ASIC – further size and power savings
• AB modem overall is 66% smaller then the VIPturbo design
• Designed for smaller form factor products
• New RF section
• single up/down-convert stage
• reduced component count
• lower power consumption
• maintained performance
