XC7Z012S-2CLG485E

Soc System On Chip Overview

The XC7Z012S-2CLG485E is a Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC featuring a single ARM Cortex-A9 processor core operating at up to 667 MHz. It integrates an Artix-7 FPGA fabric with 55,000 logic elements and 8,600 Adaptive Logic Modules. The device includes 2.5 Mbit of embedded memory and supports 150 I/O pins. Manufactured on a 28nm process, it operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and is housed in a 485-pin WBCSBGA package.

Soc System On Chip Feature Summary

• Integrates a single-core ARM Cortex-A9 processing system with hardware-accelerated AXI interfaces for low-latency data exchange with the programmable logic.
• Combines a 28nm Artix-7 FPGA fabric with hardened processor resources to enable heterogeneous computing architectures.
• Supports extensive peripheral connectivity including dual USB 2.0 OTG, dual Gigabit Ethernet MACs, and multiple standard serial interfaces.

Soc System On Chip Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic real-time processing
• Medical imaging systems utilizing FPGA-based signal preprocessing
• Automotive infotainment and instrument cluster displays

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' against official AMD documentation to confirm if it denotes an enhanced electrical specification or a specific manufacturing lot code, as standard datasheets typically list 'I' for industrial and 'C' for commercial grades. Ensure the component matches the required speed grade '-2' for the target clock frequency. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current environmental declaration.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-core ARM A9 solution is sufficient to reduce power consumption compared to dual-core variants like the XC7Z020. The 55K logic element count is appropriate for moderate complexity digital designs. Verify that the 150 I/O count meets the interface requirements, as higher-end models offer significantly more pins.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the Zynq-7000 SoC family, which merges ARM processor technology with Xilinx FPGA capabilities. It sits below the dual-core XC7Z015 and XC7Z020 models in terms of processing power and logic resources, targeting cost-sensitive applications that still require programmable logic acceleration alongside software control.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include the XC7Z012S-1CLG485I (slower speed grade) or XC7Z012S-2CLG485I (commercial temperature range). Cross-family upgrades such as the XC7Z015-2CLG485I offer double the processing cores but may require design adjustments due to increased resource availability.
