Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix '2' against the required timing constraints for your design. Confirm the package type is FCBGA-1156 and check RoHS compliance status through official AMD documentation before procurement. Ensure availability from authorized distributors as supply levels may vary.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when both high-level processing via ARM cores and high-speed analog-to-digital conversion are required in a single chip. Compare logic cell counts and I/O availability against the XCZU48DR or XCZU49DR if higher performance is needed. Verify that the 1156-pin footprint fits within the mechanical constraints of the target PCB design.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This part belongs to the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC family, which combines Xilinx FPGA technology with ARM processors and RF transceivers. It is distinct from standard Zynq MPSoC devices by its dedicated integration of high-speed converters, making it suitable for applications where analog signal interfacing is critical alongside digital logic processing.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package and speed grade should be sought from the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC selection guide. Cross-referencing with XCZU48DR or XCZU49DR variants may require schematic and firmware adjustments due to differences in logic resources and I/O configurations.
