XCZU42DR-L2FFVE1156I

Soc System On Chip Overview

The XCZU42DR-L2FFVE1156I is a Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC device manufactured by AMD. It integrates a Processing System (PS) with Programmable Logic (PL) and direct RF data conversion capabilities on a single die. The PS comprises quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processors and dual-core ARM Cortex-R5 processors. The PL provides high-density logic resources for signal processing tasks. The device utilizes an FCBGA-1156 package, measuring 35x35 mm, and supports industrial temperature ranges.

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix 'L2' against official AMD selection guides to confirm timing performance. Ensure the package outline matches the 1156-pin FCBGA dimensions. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current documentation before procurement.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when multi-channel direct RF sampling is required within a compact form factor. Compare resource utilization between the PL logic cells and DSP slices against algorithm complexity. Verify that the integrated memory controllers support the required external DDR interface speeds.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC family, which merges traditional FPGA capabilities with specialized RF conversion hardware. It serves as a successor to earlier MPSoC devices by integrating ADC/DAC functions directly into the silicon, reducing board-level complexity for high-frequency applications.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Check for updated speed grades within the XCZU42DR series. Evaluate higher-capacity models like the XCZU47DR if additional RF channels or logic resources are needed. Cross-reference pinouts with legacy Xilinx Zynq-7000 devices if migrating from older architectures.
