ME-ZX1-45-2I-D10-P-R3

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Overview

The Enclustra ME-ZX1-45-2I-D10-P-R3 is a Mercury ZX1 System-on-Module (SoM) based on the AMD Zynq XC7Z045-2FFG676I All Programmable SoC. It integrates an ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore and a Kintex-7 FPGA fabric with 178 user I/Os, including 40 Multi-Gigabit Transceivers (MGTs). The module provides 1 GB of DDR3 SDRAM for the Processing System and 256 MB for the Programmable Logic. Onboard memory includes 512 MB NAND flash and 64 MB Quad SPI flash. Connectivity features include Gigabit Ethernet, dual Fast Ethernet, USB 2.0 OTG, PCIe Gen2 x4/x8, and a Real-Time Clock. It operates within a -40°C to +85°C temperature range and accepts a 5V to 15V supply voltage.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hardware revision suffix (e.g., R3) against the EN-number table in the datasheet to ensure compatibility with baseboards and software BSPs. Confirm that the required Vivado ML Enterprise Edition license is available, as this model exceeds the capacity for free WebPACK tools. Check for any known issues or changes documented in the associated release notes for this revision.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Selection Notes

Select this module when high-performance FPGA logic combined with powerful ARM processing is required. The Zynq-7045 variant offers significantly more FPGA resources and higher-speed transceivers compared to the Zynq-7030 or 7035 models. Ensure the application requires the specific I/O count and memory configuration provided by the FFG676 package.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the Mercury ZX1 family of SoC modules from Enclustra. It utilizes the AMD Zynq-7000 series architecture. The '45' indicates the Zynq-7045 device density, '2I' denotes the industrial temperature grade (-40 to +85°C), and 'D10' refers to the DDR3 memory configuration. The '-P' suffix typically indicates a specific pinout or feature set variation within the Mercury platform.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Replacement Considerations

For lower resource requirements, consider the ME-ZX1-30-2I-D10-R3 (Zynq-7030). For intermediate needs, the ME-ZX1-35-1I-D10-R3 (Zynq-7035) is available. Note that tool support differs: the Zynq-7030 uses the free Vivado ML Standard Edition, while the Zynq-7045 requires the paid Vivado ML Enterprise Edition.
