Xilinx 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 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."
