Zynq UltraScale+ XCZU7EV MPSoC

[Figure 2-1, callout 1]

The ZCU106 board is populated with the Zynq UltraScale+ XCZU7EV-2FFVC1156 MPSoC, which combines a powerful processing system (PS) and programmable logic (PL) in the same device. The PS in a Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC features the Arm® flagship Cortex®-A53 64-bit quad-core processor and Cortex-R5F dual-core real-time processor.

Production ZCU106 evaluation boards will ship with -2 speed grade devices. Support of multiple speed grades requires voltage adjustments.

The VCCINT supplies are user adjustable via the PMBus with the voltage ranges listed in Table 3-1 to support multiple Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC speed grades.

The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC PS block has three major processing units:

  • Cortex-A53 application processing unit (APU) - Arm v8 architecture-based 64-bit quad-core multiprocessing CPU.
  • Cortex-R5F real-time processing unit (RPU) - Arm v7 architecture-based 32-bit dual real-time processing unit with dedicated tightly coupled memory (TCM).
  • Mali-400 graphics processing unit (GPU) - graphics processing unit with pixel and geometry processor and 64 KB L2 cache.

The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC PS has four high-speed serial I/O (HSSIO) interfaces supporting these protocols:

  • Integrated block for PCI Express® interface - PCIe™ base specification version 2.1 compliant.
  • SATA 3.1 specification compliant interface.
  • DisplayPort interface - implements a DisplayPort source-only interface with video resolution up to 4K × 2K - 30 (300 MHz pixel rate).
  • USB 3.0 interface - compliant to USB 3.0 specification implementing a 5 Gb/s line rate.
  • Serial GMII interface - supports a 1 Gb/s SGMII interface.

The PS and PL can be coupled with multiple interfaces and other signals to effectively integrate user-created hardware accelerators and other functions in the PL logic that are accessible to the processors. They can also access memory resources in the PS. The PS I/O peripherals, including the static/flash memory interfaces share a multiplexed I/O (MIO) of up to 78 MIO pins. Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs can also use the I/O in the PL domain for many of the PS I/O peripherals. This is done through an extended multiplexed I/O interface (EMIO) and boots at power-up or reset.

For additional information on Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices, see the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Data Sheet: Overview (DS891) . See the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Technical Reference Manual (UG1085) for more information about Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC configuration options.

Encryption Key Battery Backup Circuit​

The XCZU7EV MPSoC U1 implements bit stream encryption key technology. The ZCU106 board provides the encryption key backup battery circuit shown in Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-2: Encryption Key Backup Circuit

The Seiko TS518FE rechargeable 1.5V lithium button-type battery B1 is soldered to the board with the positive output connected to the XCZU7EV MPSoC U1 Vcc_PSBATT pin Y23. The battery supply current IBATT specification is 150 nA maximum when board power is off. B1 is charged from the UTIL_1V8 1.8V rail through a series diode with a typical forward voltage drop of 0.38V and 4.7Ω current limit resistor. The nominal charging voltage is 1.42V.

On MPSoC devices, the encryption key battery is also used for the battery-backed RAM and the real-time clock (RTC) supply voltage. See the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Data Sheet: DC and AC Switching Characteristics (DS925) [Ref 2].
