XCZU7CG-2FFVF1517I

Overview

The XCZU7CG-2FFVF1517I is a Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device from AMD, featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 application processor and a dual-core ARM Cortex-R5F real-time processor. It integrates approximately 930K logic cells within a 1517-ball FCBGA package. The component supports DDR4/LPDDR4 memory interfaces and includes hardened peripherals such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0/2.0, PCIe Gen3, and SDIO. Designed for industrial temperature ranges, it provides a heterogeneous computing platform combining programmable logic with embedded processing capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Approximately 930K system logic cells in 16nm FinFET+ technology
• Integrated DDR4/LPDDR4 memory controller with ECC support

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Communication infrastructure equipment
• Vision processing applications
• Automotive advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I' indicates the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 100°C TJ) and 'E' variants denote extended ranges if applicable. Confirm the package marking and date code against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure authenticity. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle status updates directly from AMD documentation before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-core A53 configuration is sufficient, distinguishing it from the quad-core EG series which includes a Mali GPU. Ensure the design requires the specific I/O count and logic resources of the CG variant rather than higher-capacity models like the XCZU9EG. Verify that the required operating temperature falls within the industrial specification defined by the 'I' suffix.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC CG (Compute Graphics) family, which focuses on high-performance processing without the integrated GPU found in the EG series. It shares the same 16nm FinFET+ process node and core architecture as other devices in the ZU7CG and ZU7EG families, offering a balance of processing power and resource density for embedded applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other ZU7CG variants with different speed grades or temperature ratings, such as XCZU7CG-2FFVF1517E. Cross-family substitution with EG series devices (e.g., XCZU7EG) requires re-evaluation of software compatibility due to the presence of the Mali GPU in EG parts.
