Xilinx Tapes-Out Industry's First All Programmable Multi-Processor SoC Using TSMC's 16nm FF+ for Embedded Vision, ADAS, I-IoT, and 5G SystemsSAN JOSE, Calif., July 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced it has taped out the industry's first All Programmable Multi-Processor SoC (MPSoC) using TSMC's 16FF+ process, targeting embedded vision, including ADAS and the path to autonomous vehicles, Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT), and 5G wireless systems. The All Programmable Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC enables the development of flexible, standards-based platforms by providing 5X system level performance/watt and any-to-any connectivity with the security and safety required for next generation systems. Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020822/XLNXLOGO As the world's first heterogeneous multi-processing SoC, the new device combines seven user programmable processors including a quad-core 64-bit ARM® Cortex™-A53 Application Processing Unit, a dual-core 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-R5 Real Time Processing Unit, and an ARM® Mali™-400 Graphics Processing Unit. The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family also includes a host of integrated peripherals, safety and security features, and advanced power management. When coupled with the recently introduced SDSoC™ development environment, the new family is enabling systems that are both software defined and hardware optimized. "The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC provides an ideal mix of software intelligence, hardware optimization, security and safety, and any-to-any connectivity for the next-generation of smart and connected applications," said Victor Peng, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Programmable Products Group at Xilinx. "The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC has been specifically tailored to meet the unique requirements of next generation embedded vision, including ADAS and the roadmap to autonomous vehicles, industrial-IoT and 5G wireless systems, with applicability to numerous other applications." Enabling Embedded Vision Including ADAS, Industrial IoT, and 5G Systems For the Industrial Internet of Things, the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family is ideally suited to integrate data acquisition, perform real-time diagnostics, and enable local decision-making for intelligent connected control systems. The combination of the MPSoC processing subsystem, the UltraScale programmable logic fabric, and the new UltraRAM on-chip memory technology create the ideal platform to process the vast quantities of data for analytics and manage real-time machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. With a dedicated security processing unit and dual core Cortex-R5 engines that can be configured for lockstep, the Zynq MPSoC also supports SIL3 functional safety and security requirements. Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices support the increased radio and baseband processing requirements of next generation 5G systems. This includes the support of new 'massive MIMO' and adaptive beamforming architectures, CloudRAN layer 1 baseband acceleration and associated Fronthaul applications, with flexible support of multiple standards and multiple bands at significantly lower power. The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, with its quad core ARM Cortex-A53 processing subsystem, leverages an integrated fine grain power management system to implement lower power optimal hardware-software design for digital pre-distortion, beamforming control functions, and system management tasks.
