About this file

This is a requirements and specifications document for external hardware for ZCU-216 boards requested by NIST's Advanced Microwave Photonics Group within the Physical Measurements Lab, Applied Physics Division. The procurement (NB686050-25-02332) requires enclosures and daughter boards for two ZCU-216 RFSoC boards to enable quantum coherence measurements at ultra-low temperatures. The hardware must provide 4 output channels with DC to >1GHz frequency range, 12 output channels with 1-8GHz frequency range, and 4 input channels with 4-8GHz frequency range, all while maintaining compatibility with open-source QICK firmware.

The contractor must deliver 2 complete units including physical enclosures with connector feedthrough, I/O ports for TTL signals and DACs, and all necessary connectors and assembly items (ZCU216 boards not included). Key requirements include delivery within 8 weeks after receipt of order, a two-year warranty, and government acceptance testing within 7 business days. The specification document includes standard shipping requirements, no installation or training requirements, and no utility or facility considerations. The procurement supports NIST's core mission to develop and disseminate standard practices for quantum measurement to the broader scientific community.

TITLE: External Hardware for ZCU-216 Boards Requesting Lab/Division/Group: Physical Measurements Lab, Applied Physics Division, Advanced Microwave Photonics Group

NB686050-25-02332

General Statement of Need The Advanced Microwave Photonics Group performs complex qubit and resonator measurement at ultra-low temperature. Current projects involve high-throughput measurements of device quantum coherence and include the development of standard practices for such measurement with the goal to disseminate these standard practices to the community, which is a core NIST mission. To that end, our group uses ZCU216 RFSoC control boards that are compatible with the open-source firmware QICK. We would like to acquire new “daughter” boards to remap the input/output channels of the ZCU216 to meet specific requirements, as well as enclosures that non only protect the boards but also add functionalities (like TTL signals and dc-bias), while maintaining compatibility with the QICK firmware.

The contractor shall deliver enclosures and daughter boards for two ZCU-216 RFSoC (owned by NIST) enabling at least the following requirements: 4 output channels with frequency range from DC to >1GHz, 12 output channels with a frequency range including 1-8GHz, 4 input channels with a frequency range including 4-8GHz. Enclosures and boards must come with all connectors and items necessary for assembly and operation (ZCU216 boards not included) and be compatible with the QICK firmware.
