XCZU7EV-1FFVF1517I

Overview

The XCZU7EV-1FFVF1517I is an industrial-grade System-on-Chip FPGA from the AMD Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC EV series. It integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 application processor, dual-core ARM Cortex-R5 real-time processor, and programmable logic based on 16nm FinFET technology. The device features 28,800 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), 11 Mbit of embedded memory, and supports up to 488 I/Os. Key specifications include a maximum A53 clock frequency of 1.5 GHz and R5 frequency of 600 MHz, with an operating core voltage of 850 mV.

Feature Summary

• Integrated H.264/H.265 video codec supporting simultaneous encoding and decoding of 4K video at 60 fps
• Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore with CoreSight debug infrastructure
• Dual-core ARM Cortex-R5F MPCore for deterministic real-time control
• Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C TJ) indicated by 'I' suffix

Applications

• 5G wireless infrastructure baseband processing
• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
• Industrial IoT edge gateways
• Video surveillance and streaming endpoints

Procurement Notes

Verify the 'I' suffix confirms industrial temperature rating during sourcing. Confirm package type FCBGA-1517 matches PCB footprint requirements. Ensure supply chain authorization due to restricted distribution status in some regions.

Selection Notes

Select this model over CG variants when integrated hardware video acceleration is required. Choose EV over EG if GPU resources are unnecessary to reduce cost. Verify speed grade '-1' meets timing closure requirements for 1.5 GHz operation.

Part Context

Part of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family, specifically the EV variant optimized for video processing. It shares the same silicon foundation as CG and EG models but replaces the Mali-400 GPU with dedicated H.264/H.265 encoders/decoders.

Replacement Considerations

XCZU7EV-2FFVF1517I offers higher performance speed bin. XCZU7CG-1FFVF1517E provides similar logic density without video codecs.
