Mouser New Product of the Week: AMD / Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU106 Evaluation Kit
September 09, 2024
Story
Today’s expansive range of embedded vision, industrial automation, advanced driver assisted systems (ADAS), and streaming/encoding applications can benefit from a platform enabling high-performance processing and flexible hardware customization for quick application prototyping and reliable system integration.
The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU106 Evaluation Kit from AMD / Xilinx is designed with the aforementioned features to help both engineers and developers with the evaluation and development of their applications using the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platform. Based on the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, the ZCU106 board leverages the combination of a high-performance processing system (PS) with programmable logic (PL).
Height: 7.323 inches (18.60 cm), Length: 9.5 inches (24.13 cm), Thickness: 0.062 inches ±0.005 inch Note: The ZCU106 board height exceeds the standard 4.376 inches (11.15 cm) height of a PCI Express® card.
The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU106 Evaluation Kit in Action
Further, the ZCU106 Evaluation Kit achieves rapid prototyping via the ZU7EV device featuring a quad-core Arm® Cortex®-A53 applications processor, dual-core Cortex-R5 real-time processor, Mali™-400 MP2 graphics processing unit, 4KP60 capable H.264/H.265 video codec, and 16nm FinFET+ programmable logic.
To support the development of various applications, the ZCU106 features a 72-bit DDR4 SODIMM with ECC where the memory is attached to the processor subsystem, and a 64-bit DDR4 component where the memory is connected to the programmable logic.
The evaluation kit also supports a PCIe® Endpoint Gen3x4, USB3, DisplayPort, and SATA for high-speed data transfer, peripheral connections, display interfaces, and 2x SFP+ cages for high-speed serial connectivity. Further expansion can be achieved via the 2x FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) interfaces for I/O expansion by adding FMC modules.
For video and graphics, the ZCU106 features an Integrated video codec unit supporting H.264/H.265 codecs for high-quality video encoding and decoding, and an HDMI video input and output for high-definition multimedia interfaces.
