Product Specification
General Description
Xilinx® UltraScale™ architecture comprises high-performance FPGA, MPSoC, and RFSoC families that address a vast spectrum of
system requirements with a focus on lowering total power consumption through numerous innovative technological
advancements.
Kintex® UltraScale FPGAs: High-performance FPGAs with a focus on price/performance, using both monolithic and
next-generation stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) technology. High DSP and block RAM-to-logic ratios and next-generation
transceivers, combined with low-cost packaging, enable an optimum blend of capability and cost.
Kintex UltraScale+™ FPGAs: Increased performance and on-chip UltraRAM memory to reduce BOM cost. The ideal mix of
high-performance peripherals and cost-effective system implementation. Kintex UltraScale+ FPGAs have numerous power
options that deliver the optimal balance between the required system performance and the smallest power envelope.
Virtex® UltraScale FPGAs: High-capacity, high-performance FPGAs enabled using both monolithic and next-generation SSI
technology. Virtex UltraScale devices achieve the highest system capacity, bandwidth, and performance to address key market and
application requirements through integration of various system-level functions.
Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs: The highest transceiver bandwidth, highest DSP count, and highest on-chip and in-package memory
available in the UltraScale architecture. Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs also provide numerous power options that deliver the optimal
balance between the required system performance and the smallest power envelope.
Zynq® UltraScale+ MPSoCs: Combine the Arm® v8-based Cortex®-A53 high-performance energy-efficient 64-bit application
processor with the Arm Cortex-R5 real-time processor and the UltraScale architecture to create the industry's first All
Programmable MPSoCs. Provide unprecedented power savings, heterogeneous processing, and programmable acceleration.
Zynq® UltraScale+ RFSoCs: Combine RF data converter subsystem and forward error correction with industry-leading
programmable logic and heterogeneous processing capability. Integrated RF-ADCs, RF-DACs, and soft-decision FECs (SD-FEC)
provide the key subsystems for multiband, multi-mode cellular radios and cable infrastructure.
