Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between XCZU5CG and XCZU5EG?
The XCZU5CG is part of the CG subfamily, which does not include the Mali-400 GPU or video codec found in the EG (with GPU) and EV (with video codec) variants. This makes the CG version more cost-effective for applications that do not require integrated graphics or video processing.
Is the XCZU5CG-1SFVC784E footprint compatible with other devices?
Yes, packages with the same last letter and number sequence (C784) are footprint compatible with other UltraScale+ devices. This allows for easy migration between different capacity devices within the family.
What speed grades are available for the XCZU5CG?
The XCZU5CG is available in -1, -2, and -3 speed grades, with -1 being standard, -2 offering improved performance, and -3 providing the highest performance. The -1E designation indicates extended temperature range operation.
Does the XCZU5CG-1SFVC784E support security features?
Yes, the device includes 256-bit AES-GCM decryption capability, secure boot support, and options for AES key storage using battery-backed RAM or eFUSE technology.
