Mouser is now stocking Zynq UltraScale+ multiprocessor system-on-chips from Xilinx.

These devices combine a high-performance Arm-based multicore, multiprocessing system with ASIC-class programmable logic. The devices achieve maximum scalability and can offload critical applications, such as graphics and video pipelining, to dedicated processing blocks. The MPSoCs also incorporates a full complement of integrated peripherals and connectivity cores ideal for next-generation applications such as 5G wireless, automotive ADAS, and IIoT.

The family of MPSoCs includes three distinct variants (CG, EG, and EV), each of which comprises two or four Arm Cortex-A53 cores and two Arm Cortex-R5 real-time processing units. The dual-core CG devices are optimal for industrial motor control and sensor fusion. Both the EG series and EV series devices provide four Cortex-A53 cores, as well as an Arm Mali-400 graphics processing unit. The EV series also incorporates a video codec unit that supports H.265 HEVC and H.264 AVC standards, making them excellent for multimedia, ADAS, and surveillance applications.
