Overview
The Mercury+ XU8 system-on-chip (SoC) module combines Xilinx’s Zynq UltraScale+™ MPSoC-series device with fast DDR4 ECC SDRAM, eMMC flash, quad SPI flash, dual Gigabit Ethernet PHY, dual USB 3.0 and thus forms a complete and powerful embedded processing system.
Highlights
- Built around Xilinx’s Zynq Ultrascale+™ MPSoC
- Two independent memory channels for PS (DDR4 ECC SDRAM) and PL (DDR4 SDRAM)
- Up to 28.8 GByte/sec memory bandwidth
- Offers PCIe® Gen3 x16, PCIe Gen2 x4, 2x USB 3.0 and 2x Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
- Available in industrial temperature range
- Three 168-pin Hirose FX10 connectors with 236 user I/Os
- Linux BSP and tool chain available
- Powerful and compact FPGA board
Benefits
- A complete and powerful embedded processing system in a compact, space-saving form factor
- Large, high-bandwidth memory, with up to 8 GByte of DDR4 ECC SDRAM (PS) and up to 4 GByte of DDR4 RAM (PL)
- High-bandwidth data transfer; PCIe® Gen3 x16, PCIe Gen2 x4, USB 3.0, and a high number of available LVDS pairs provide high-speed data I/O at low integration cost
- Lowest power consumption due to the high-efficiency DC/DC converters
- Support for Linux embedded operating system
