Enables more than 5 times system-level performance per watt and connectivity possible anywhere

Xilinx announced that it has completed the development of an all-programmable multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC) using TSMC's 16FF+ process, targeting an embedded vision that includes ADAS, autonomous vehicles, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and 5G wireless systems.

With the all-programmable Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC, you can develop various standards-based platforms with more than five times the system-level performance per watt and the security, safety, and connectivity available anywhere required for next-generation systems.

This new device, the world's first heterogeneous multi-processing SoC, combines seven user-programmable processors, including a quad-core 64-bit ARM® Cortex™-A53 application processor, a dual-core 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-R5 real-time processor, and an ARM® Mali™-400 graphics processor. Additionally, the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family includes an integrated peripheral host, safety and security features, and advanced power management capabilities. By adding the recently released SDSoC™ development environment to this new product family, systems featuring software-defined and hardware-optimized capabilities are also possible.

Victor Peng, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Programmable Products at Xilinx, stated, “The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC is fully equipped with the software intelligence, hardware optimization, security and safety, and connectivity required by next-generation smart devices and connected applications,” adding, “We are also paying special attention to ensuring that the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC meets the unique requirements of the next-generation embedded vision, including ADAS and autonomous vehicle roadmaps, industrial IoT and 5G wireless systems, and various other applications.”
