Avnet Electronics Marketing Introduces the Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC Mini-ITX Motherboard

PHOENIX—January 16, 2014   — Avnet Electronics Marketing, an operating group of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), today introduced the Xilinx® Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC Mini-ITX motherboard. The first Zynq-based motherboard supporting PCIe Root Complex, this off-the-shelf board can be used for faster prototyping, saving significant time in the conception of high-performance, small form factor systems. The board features the two largest devices in the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC family, with peak performance targeted for more complex applications in the embedded processing market.

Available with the Zynq XC7Z045 or the XC7Z100 device in a small Mini-ITX form factor, the Zynq Mini-ITX motherboard meets highly demanding programmable systems integration requirements, while providing flexibility and customization through the HPC FMC expansion slot.

“Designed to the industry standard, the Zynq Mini-ITX motherboard packages all the necessary functions needed for an embedded processing system,” said Jim Beneke, vice president of global technical marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing. “The kit targets a variety of applications from storage and servers, networking and communications, to embedded controllers and general-purpose prototyping. It offers a unique mix of user configurability, expandability and standard interfaces to help designers speed their time to market.” 

The Zynq Mini-ITX motherboard includes:

  • Zynq-7000 SoC XC7Z045 or XC7Z100 device
  • 2GB DDR3 SDRAM
  • PCIe Gen2 x16 Root Complex slot (x4 electrical)
  • SATA-III interface (requires Programmable Logic IP – not included)
  • SFP interface
  • QSPI Flash memory
  • HDMI interface
  • LVDS touch panel interface
  • Audio Codec
  • 10/100/1000 Ethernet PHY
  • USB 2.0 4-port hub

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
