TE0720-03-61Q42NA

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Overview

The Trenz Electronic TE0720-03-61Q42NA is an industrial-grade System on Module (SoM) based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC, specifically the XC7Z020 variant. It integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processing system and an Artix-7 FPGA with 85K programmable logic cells. The module includes up to 1 GB of DDR3/L SDRAM, 32 MB Quad SPI Flash, and an eMMC NAND Flash interface. Onboard peripherals feature a Marvell 88E1512 Gigabit Ethernet PHY, Microchip USB3320C ULPI transceiver, Lattice LCMXO2-1200HC CPLD for system management, and an Intersil ISL12020M RTC. Connectivity is provided via three Samtec Razor Beam high-speed stacking connectors.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the required memory configuration and assembly options. Confirm carrier board compatibility regarding power supply requirements, specifically the recommendation for a single 3.3V source for VIN and 3.3VIN rails. Ensure the carrier design supports the 3-stated I/O requirement at power-on until the System Controller CPLD asserts the PGOOD signal.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Selection Notes

Select this module when a dual-core ARM processor combined with substantial FPGA fabric (85K cells) is required. The TE0720-03-61Q42NA provides integrated Gigabit Ethernet and USB interfaces, reducing external component count. Consider the onboard security features, including the MAC address EEPROM and CryptoAuthentication chip, if device identity protection is necessary. Verify thermal constraints as the module uses switching-mode power supplies for all internal voltages.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the TE0720 family of Zynq-based System on Modules from Trenz Electronic. The '03' in the model number typically denotes the hardware revision or form factor variant. Other variants in the series may utilize different Zynq chips (such as the XC7Z014S), different memory capacities, or optional peripherals like the LSM303D eCompass module.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are not publicly documented for this specific Trenz Electronic module. Alternative solutions would require redesigning the carrier board to accommodate different B2B connector specifications and voltage levels. Evaluate other Zynq-7000 based SoMs from vendors using similar Samtec connectors if mechanical retention is critical.
