Xilinx’s System on Chip (SoC) aims to be the new disruptive technology for high-end embedded systems. The SoC integrates the software programmability of ARM processor with the firmware programmability of FPGA in one component. The SoC offers a high level of system performance, flexibility, and scalability.

This component is a solution to build stand-alone ‘SWaP’ (Size, Weight and Power) optimised equipment.

The new PFP-ZU+ is a multi-purpose PCIe platform with FMC+ site based on the latest Xilinx’s SoC called Zynq UltraScale+. One hundred percent compliant with FMC+ standard, PFP-ZU+ fits all VITA 57.1 and VITA 57.4 mezzanine cards. This board is a perfect fit for system integrators who are looking for reducing development time thanks to ready-to-integrate boards.

The PFP-ZU+’s versatility comes from useful features including a fully FMC+ site, DDR4 and RLDRAM2 memories, a management system, etc. Thanks to ARM processor, you access to multiples interfaces which allow to design stand-alone equipment easily.

PFP-ZU+ is the perfect match between a common real-time processor and a programmable logic equipped platform. PFP-ZU+ features ZU7CG and ZU11EG SoC optimise performance/price ratio for high-end applications.

Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices provide 64-bit processor scalability while combining real-time control with soft and hard engines for graphics, video, waveform, and packet processing.

PFP-ZU+ can be easily used in a standard PC environment (drivers available for both Linux and Windows) or in your own enclosure as a stand-alone equipment.
