Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Overview
Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs
A comprehensive device family, Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs offer single-chip, all programmable,
heterogeneous multiprocessors that provide designers with software, hardware, interconnect, power,
security, and I/O programmability. The range of devices in the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family allows
designers to target cost-sensitive as well as high-performance applications from a single platform using
industry-standard tools. While each Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC contains the same PS, the PL, Video hard
blocks, and I/O resources vary between the devices.

The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs are able to serve a wide range of applications including:
• Automotive: Driver assistance, driver information, and infotainment
• Wireless Communications: Support for multiple spectral bands and smart antennas
• Wired Communications: Multiple wired communications standards and context-aware network services
• Data Centers: Software Defined Networks (SDN), data pre-processing, and analytics
• Smarter Vision: Evolving video-processing algorithms, object detection, and analytics
• Connected Control/M2M: Flexible/adaptable manufacturing, factory throughput, quality, and safety
The UltraScale MPSoC architecture provides processor scalability from 32 to 64 bits with support for
virtualization, the combination of soft and hard engines for real-time control, graphics/video processing,
waveform and packet processing, next-generation interconnect and memory, advanced power
management, and technology enhancements that deliver multi-level security, safety, and reliability. Xilinx
offers a large number of soft IP for the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family. Stand-alone and Linux device
drivers are available for the peripherals in the PS and the PL. Xilinx’s Vivado® Design Suite, SDK™, and
PetaLinux development environments enable rapid product development for software, hardware, and
systems engineers. The ARM-based PS also brings a broad range of third-party tools and IP providers in
combination with Xilinx's existing PL ecosystem.
The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family delivers unprecedented processing, I/O, and memory bandwidth in
the form of an optimized mix of heterogeneous processing engines embedded in a next-generation,
high-performance, on-chip interconnect with appropriate on-chip memory subsystems. The
heterogeneous processing and programmable engines, which are optimized for different application
tasks, enable the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs to deliver the extensive performance and efficiency required
to address next-generation smarter systems while retaining backwards compatibility with the original
Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC family. The UltraScale MPSoC architecture also incorporates multiple
levels of security, increased safety, and advanced power management, which are critical requirements of
next-generation smarter systems. Xilinx’s embedded UltraFast™ design methodology fully exploits the
