XC7Z010, SoC PCB design with FPGA IC
The board features the design of the Xilinx (now AMD) Zynq-7000 series XC7Z010 SoC chip in a FBGA package. The sketch shows a high-density BGA package, DDR3 memory interface, power/ground connections, and signal routing. The Zynq-7000 is an SoC that integrates ARM Cortex-A9 processor cores with FPGA programmable logic. XC7Z010 Features: 28nm technology, 28k logic cell DDR3 support, integrated Ethernet, USB, and GPIOs. Power consumption is low (typical 2-5W, depending on usage). Applications: Optimized for industrial IoT, embedded vision, and motor control. Those familiar with FBGA design and coding will know that it's very challenging, and the application areas are generally industrial solutions. Role in Zynq-7000: The symmetrical BGA distribution between the ARM and FPGA, as seen in the diagram, is critical for signal integrity, as is the difficulty of fan-out routing and impedance calculations. Because the circuit is designed entirely for IP-controlled signal processing, high-fre...
