XCZU6CG-1FFVB1156E

XCZU6CG-1FFVB1156E is a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device (ZU6CG family). It combines a Processing System (ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core with Cortex-R5 real-time cores) and Programmable Logic on a single chip, enabling software and hardware acceleration in one package. It is packaged in a flip-chip BGA (FFVB) with 1,156 balls and a -1 speed grade. The device offers high-speed transceivers, memory controllers (DDR4/LPDDR4), PCIe, USB and other I/O, plus tight PS–PL interconnect for flexible hardware/software co-design. Typical applications include embedded vision, automotive, industrial automation, and communications at the edge. Development uses Xilinx Vivado for PL design and Vitis for software, following a unified PS–PL design flow; boot options commonly include QSPI, eMMC/SD, or flash. In short, a mid-range, versatile MPSoC for integrated processing and programmable logic in embedded systems.
