Product type
There are two models of bladeRF 2.0 micro (as of August 2):
- xA4: 49KLE (Kilo Logic Elements) Basic model with Cyclone V FPGA
- xA9: 301KLE (Kilo Logic Elements) High-end model equipped with Cyclone V FPGA
What is KLE (Kilo Logic Elements)?
A KLE is a unit of measurement that indicates the size and processing power of an FPGA. 1 KLE is equivalent to approximately 1000 logic elements. Logic elements are the basic building blocks of FPGAs and are used to implement logic circuits and algorithms.
Block diagram
The complexity of the digital circuits and algorithms implemented in an FPGA and the resources required (logic elements, memory, DSP blocks, etc.) vary greatly depending on the application, so the choice of FPGA depends on the requirements of the application being developed.
- xA4 model (49KLE): It is relatively lightweight and suitable for implementing basic signal processing and wireless communication protocols.
- xA9 model (301KLE): Suitable for more complex digital signal processing algorithms, advanced wireless communication systems, and implementing multiple functions simultaneously.
The xA9 model has six times the processing power of the xA4 model. If you are considering future expansion, it may be a good idea to choose the xA6 model with some margin of error.
