XCZU7CG-2FBVB900E

Overview

The XCZU7CG-2FBVB900E is a System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGA from the AMD Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC CG series. It integrates an FPGA fabric with processing system cores, including dual ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processors and dual ARM Cortex-R5 processors, both featuring CoreSight debug interfaces. The device provides approximately 504K logic cells within the programmable logic section. Key specifications include a maximum operating frequency of 1.2 GHz for the processing system and 500 MHz for the FPGA fabric. It utilizes a 900-pin FCBGA package suitable for surface-mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processors with CoreSight support
• Dual ARM Cortex-R5 processors with CoreSight support
• Approximately 504K logic cells in the FPGA fabric
• Integrated ARM Mali-400 MP2 GPU

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Medical imaging devices
• Test and measurement equipment
• Automotive infotainment and cockpit displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix '2' against the official AMD datasheet to confirm clock frequencies and timing parameters. Ensure the FCBGA-900 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for the assembly process before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate FPGA resources and robust dual-core application processing is required. Compare against the XCZU7EG series if higher performance or additional memory controllers are needed. Verify that the 504K logic cell count meets the design complexity without excessive over-provisioning found in larger packages.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC CG family, which targets cost-sensitive embedded applications requiring mixed processing and programmability. It sits below the EG series in terms of resource density but retains the same core processor architecture. The part number indicates the 900-ball FCBGA package and the specific speed bin for timing closure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package may include other variants in the XCZU7CG series with different speed grades (e.g., -1). Cross-family migration to the Kintex UltraScale series requires significant redesign as it lacks the integrated ARM processing system.
