ZU Family
Zynq MPSoCs combine the Ultrascale architecture and the high capacity of the ARM processors through one ARM v8-based Cortex A53 64-bit application processor and an ARM Cortex-R5 real-time processor. Xilinx provides next-generation programmable engines, security, reliability, and scalability from 32 to 64 bits. This architecture is the first one of its kind and comes to accelerate and optimize processes, power requirements, programmable acceleration, I/O, and memory management for any application. There are there variants, CG, EG, and EV. CG provides a dual application processor, EG provides a quad-core processor and GPU, and EV comes with a video codec, creating a wide range of possibilities to explore. Their key features:
- Application processing unit (APU):
- Dual or Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore
- CPU frequency up to 1.5GHz
- Real-time processing unit (RPU):
- Dual-core ARM Cortex-R5 MPCore
- CPU frequency up to 600MHz
- Graphics processing unit (GPU)
- ARM Mali™-400 MP2
- GPU frequency up to 667MHz
- Video codec unit (VCU)
- Simultaneous Encode and Decode through separate cores
- H.264 high profile level 5.2 (4Kx2K-60)
- H.265 (HEVC) main, main10 profile, level 5.1, high Tier, up to 4Kx2K-60 rate
- 8 and 10 bit encoding
- 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 chroma sampling
There are three different variants which are detailed in the following table:
