MA-ZX3-20-1C-D9-R7.1

Overview

The Enclustra MA-ZX3-20-1C-D9-R7.1 is a Mars ZX3 System-on-Module (SoM) based on the AMD Zynq XC7Z020-1CLG484C All Programmable SoC. It integrates an Artix-7 FPGA fabric with dual ARM Cortex-A9 processors, 512MB DDR3 SDRAM, 64MB Quad SPI flash, and 512MB NAND flash. The module operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and utilizes a single 3.3V supply voltage. It features a 200-pin SO-DIMM form factor measuring 67.6 x 30mm, providing 108 user I/Os for embedded processing applications.

Feature Summary

• 512MB DDR3 SDRAM and 512MB NAND flash memory
• Integrated Gigabit Ethernet PHY and USB 2.0 OTG PHY

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Embedded communication infrastructure
• Medical imaging devices
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hardware revision suffix (-R7.1) against the manufacturer's documentation to ensure compatibility with baseboard designs and software BSPs. Confirm that the commercial temperature rating (0°C to +70°C) meets the operational requirements of the target environment. Ensure the carrier board utilizes a compatible 200-pin DDR2 SO-DIMM socket rated for 1.8V signaling levels.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a commercial grade temperature range is sufficient for the application. The -1 speed grade indicates standard performance specifications for the Zynq-7020 device. Compare against the -2I variant if industrial temperature ratings (-40°C to +85°C) or higher clock speeds are required. Verify that the 512MB DDR3 configuration aligns with the memory bandwidth and capacity needs of the intended workload.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Enclustra Mars ZX3 family, which provides pre-integrated Zynq-based solutions in a space-saving SO-DIMM package. The R7.1 revision denotes a specific hardware iteration with documented changes from earlier versions. It serves as a complete embedded system solution, reducing development risk compared to custom PCB designs by including all necessary peripheral interfaces and power management circuitry.

Replacement Considerations

The direct equivalent with industrial temperature rating is the MA-ZX3-20-2I-D10-R7.1. For lower cost or different memory configurations, consider other variants within the MA-ZX3 series such as the MA-ZX3-20-1C-D9-R7. Verify pinout and mechanical compatibility before substituting.
