Figure 1: Hardware Block Diagram
The main component of the Mercury+ XU7 SoC module is the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device.
Most of its I/O pins are connected to the Mercury+ module connector, making 136 regular user I/Os
available to the user. Further, twenty MGT pairs are available on the module connector, making possible
the implementation of several high‐speed protocols such as PCIe Gen2
4 and USB 3.0 ﴾simultaneous
usage of all the interfaces is limited to the available hardware resources i.e. number of transceivers and
lane mapping﴿.
The MPSoC device can boot from the on‐board QSPI flash, from the eMMC flash or from an external SD
card. For development purposes, a JTAG interface is connected to Mercury module connector.
The available standard configurations include a 16 GB eMMC flash, a 64 MB quad SPI flash, up to 4 GB
DDR4 SDRAM with ECC connected to the Processing System ﴾PS﴿ and up to 2 GB DDR4 SDRAM connected
to the Programmable Logic ﴾PL﴿.
Further, the module is equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet PHYs and two USB 2.0 PHYs, making it ideal
for communication applications.
A real‐time clock is available on the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device.
