TE0712-02-72C36-A

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Overview

The Trenz Electronic TE0712-02-72C36-A is an industrial-grade System-on-Module (SoM) based on the Xilinx Artix-7 XC7A100T FPGA. It integrates 1 GByte of DDR3 SDRAM, a 32 MByte QSPI Flash memory, and a Texas Instruments TLK106 Ethernet PHY. The module features rugged high-speed Samtec Razor Beam connectors for board-to-board interfacing, providing up to 158 configurable FPGA I/Os. Power management includes on-board DC-DC converters supporting a single 3.3V input or split 5V/3.3V supplies.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix corresponds to the specific speed grade and package required for the design. Confirm the assembly variant matches the target FPGA capacity within the supported Artix-7 family. Ensure baseboard designs account for the specified connector mating heights and power sequencing requirements before procurement.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Selection Notes

Select this module when an Artix-7 device with at least 100T logic cells is required alongside integrated memory and Ethernet. The -72C suffix indicates the commercial temperature range; verify if the industrial variant is needed for harsh environments. Consider the 158 available I/Os and 4 GTP lanes against baseboard routing constraints and signal integrity limits of the LSHM connectors.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the Trenz Electronic TE0712 series, which utilizes a standard 4 x 5 cm form factor. Modules in this series are mechanically compatible with various carrier boards designed for the 4x5 SoM standard. The TE0712-02 revision represents the second production hardware update, featuring improvements over the initial TE0712-01 release.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements from other manufacturers are not documented. For functional equivalence, evaluate other 4x5cm form-factor modules using the Xilinx Artix-7 XC7A100T. Verify that alternative solutions provide comparable DDR3 bandwidth, Ethernet PHY integration, and mechanical connector specifications.
