Enclustra’s Andromeda XRU50 RFSoC Wins Best in Show at Embedded World 2025



Nuremberg, Germany

Enclustra’s Andromeda XRU50 RFSoC module has been awarded Embedded Computing Design’s Best in Show Award in the Wireless Communications category at Embedded World 2025, recognizing its cutting-edge capabilities in RF signal processing. Selected from a record number of entries, this accolade underscores the module’s impact on the future of FPGA-based radiofrequency applications.

Recognition Affirms Dedication to RF Advancement

“The rapid evolution of RFSoC technology is opening doors to groundbreaking advancements across industries, from wireless communication to quantum computing,” said Phillip Bächtold, CEO of Enclustra. “With the Andromeda XRU50 RFSoC, we are equipping engineers with the tools they need to drive the next wave of innovation.”

Next-Level RF Performance in a Compact Form

The Andromeda XRU50 RFSoC integrates AMD’s Zynq™ UltraScale+™ RFSoC, delivering high performance and programmability in a compact, power-efficient package. It supports demanding RF applications, including:

  • 5G Wireless Communication – Enabling massive MIMO and adaptive beamforming.
  • Phased-Array Radar – Enhancing target tracking and signal accuracy.
  • Quantum Computing – Providing precise microwave pulse generation for qubit control.

With eight digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital RF converters, the module allows direct RF signal synthesis without additional analog circuitry, significantly streamlining system development. Future product variants will expand capabilities with up to 16 RF converters.

Designed for Seamless Integration

Measuring just 80 x 64 mm, the Andromeda XRU50 RFSoC provides product developers with easy access to:

  • 200+ programmable logic I/Os
  • 20 multi-gigabit transceivers
  • 32 GB of on-module memory
  • Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, PCIe, and DDR4 interfaces

A dedicated RF front-end board further extends functionality, offering 22 RF connectors and integrated RF clock management for enhanced signal processing and streamlined implementation.

Early Access Program Now Available

Developers can now explore the Andromeda XRU50 RFSoC module through an Early Access Program, providing firsthand experience with its advanced features. Engineering samples and comprehensive development tools are also available to accelerate system integration.
