VIP turbo / After burner Developing on Afterburner

VIP turbo and After burner HIB HIB Modem Modem VIP turbo SDK After burner SDK • 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

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
