SE120, Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC PCIe card with FMC site

The SE120 is based on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ family. Depending on the choice of Zynq device, (XCZU7EV / XCZU7EG/ XCZU11EG / XCZU7CG in  C1156 package) it can be used for video decoding/encoding,  digital communication, image processing, and AR/VR applications. Sundance DSP supplies several FMC 57.1 compliant mezzanine modules ranging from MIPI, Cameralink, SFP+, and many other I/O standards. The combination of Sundance’s SE120 and the wide variety of FMC mezzanine cards allows for the system to be a suitable platform for a plethora of advanced solutions. The selection of Zynq that can be used on this board and their available resources are shown below. Summary of devices and available resources:

x  = 7 or 11 in the case of EG only

yy = CG, or EV or EG

Z = speed grade which by default is -2 but -1 can be selected.

t = temperature grade. Default is -E which is extended but -C (commercial) or -I (industrial) can be selected
