Product Overview
The XC7Z015-2CLG485I is a powerful member of AMD Xilinx’s Zynq®-7000 family, combining a dual-core ARM® Cortex®-A9 processor with an Artix™-7 FPGA fabric in a single 485-ball CSPBGA package -1-2. With 766MHz processing speed and 74,000 logic cells, this SoC delivers exceptional performance for industrial automation, embedded vision, automotive, and communications applications -1-3.
The Zynq-7000 architecture enables designers to implement custom logic in the programmable logic (PL) while running sophisticated software on the processing system (PS) -4. This integration eliminates the need for separate processor and FPGA chips, reducing BOM cost, board space, and power consumption while providing flexibility unmatched by traditional ASIC or ASSP solutions -1.
The XC7Z015-2CLG485I operates across an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C, making it suitable for harsh environments in automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications -2-3.
Technical Specifications
Key Features and Benefits
Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A9 Processing System
The XC7Z015-2CLG485I features a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore™ processor operating at 766MHz -1. Each core includes 32KB instruction and 32KB data L1 cache, with a shared 512KB L2 cache for efficient multi-processing -1. The processor delivers 2.5 DMIPS/MHz per CPU and includes a NEON™ media processing engine, vector floating-point unit, and support for both single and double-precision floating-point operations -4.
High-Capacity Artix-7 FPGA Fabric
The FPGA fabric provides 74,000 logic cells, 46,200 LUTs, 92,400 flip-flops, and 160 DSP slices capable of delivering 100 GMACs peak DSP performance -8. This hardware programmability enables implementation of custom accelerators, high-speed interfaces, and co-processors that offload processing tasks from the CPU -1-4.
Advanced Security Features
Security features include RSA-based authentication, AES-256 decryption, SHA-256 data authentication, and secure boot capabilities -1. The anti-tamper technology can “zeroize” the device if tampering is detected, ensuring system integrity in security-sensitive applications.
Rich Connectivity and I/O
With 130 user I/Os, the device supports extensive connectivity: 2x tri-mode Gigabit Ethernet, 2x USB 2.0 (OTG), 2x CAN 2.0B, 2x I²C, 2x SPI, 2x UART, and 2x SD/SDIO controllers -2-8. The four GTP low-power serial transceivers enable high-speed serial communication up to 6.25 Gb/s per channel -12.
Power Management and Reliability
Separate power domains for PS and PL enable intelligent power management, allowing users to power down the programmable logic when not required -4. The industrial temperature range ensures reliable operation in demanding environments -1.
