XCZU7CG-1FFVF1517I

Overview

The AMD XCZU7CG-1FFVF1517I is a Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device featuring an FCBGA-1517 package. It integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor running up to 1.5 GHz and a dual-core ARM Cortex-R5F MPCore processor operating at 600 MHz. The programmable logic section provides approximately 504,000 logic elements (28,800 Adaptive Logic Modules) and 11 Mbit of embedded memory. Key peripherals include DMA, WDT, CANbus, Ethernet, I2C, MMC/SD/SDIO, SPI, UART/USART, and USB OTG support.

Feature Summary

• Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore with CoreSight debugging capabilities
• Dual-core ARM Cortex-R5F MPCore with CoreSight debugging capabilities
• Approximately 504K logic elements and 11 Mbit embedded memory
• Integrated high-speed peripherals including PCIe Gen2, USB 3.1, SATA 3.0, DisplayPort, and Gigabit Ethernet

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Medical imaging and diagnostic equipment
• Wireless infrastructure and base stations
• Data center networking acceleration
• Automotive infotainment and advanced driver assistance systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates industrial temperature range operation (-40°C to +100°C). Confirm package dimensions for the 1517-ball FCBGA footprint during PCB layout. Ensure power supply sequencing meets the requirements for the 850 mV core voltage and other I/O banks. Check for RoHS compliance documentation from the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both processing performance and FPGA flexibility are required in a single chip. The XCZU7CG offers a balance of logic resources and processor speed suitable for mid-to-high-end applications. Compare against the XCZU7EG variant if GPU acceleration via Mali-400 is needed, or the XCZU9CG if higher logic capacity is required.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family, which combines ARM processors with Xilinx FPGA fabric on a single die. The XCZU7CG is part of the CG series, designed for cost-sensitive applications compared to the EG (GPU-enabled) or DR (DDR4 controller enabled) variants within the same package size.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other XCZU7CG variants with different speed grades or temperature ranges (e.g., XCZU7CG-1FFVF1517E). Cross-family migration to larger devices like XCZU9CG requires significant schematic and firmware redesign.
