Android for Zynq-7000 AP SoC

Device Family Support

• Zynq-7000

A popular operating system for handhelds and tablets, Android is typically found in low-power high-performance architectures. The marriage of Android and Zynq-7000 AP SoC is made possible by the low static and dynamic power of the dual ARM processors and Xilinx’s 28nm programmable logic. Zynq-7000 AP SoC offers great value for our applications, as these devices consume considerably less power than two-chip processor plus FPGA configurations for the same application. We’re able to further reduce power and cost by leveraging the extensibility of the Zynq-7000 AP SoC architecture to integrate typical Android peripherals within the device that would otherwise consume extra I/O power and board real-estate as discrete devices.
