About this item

The Digilent Arty Z7 is a powerful and flexible development board featuring the Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC, which combines a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with programmable FPGA logic. This hybrid architecture allows designers to create complex embedded systems that require both software programmability and hardware acceleration. The board comes equipped with 512MB of DDR3 memory, 16MB of Quad-SPI Flash memory, and a microSD card slot for expanded storage options, supporting demanding applications. Connectivity options include Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, and HDMI output, making it suitable for multimedia, communication, and networking projects. For audio applications, it offers a PWM-driven mono audio output. Expansion is simplified with two Pmod ports and an Arduino/chipKIT shield connector, enabling easy integration with various peripherals and sensors. The Arty Z7 is powered via USB or an external 7V-15V power supply, providing flexibility in deployment. With robust processing capabilities, extensive I/O options, and a compact design, the Arty Z7 is ideal for embedded systems development, digital signal processing, robotics, and hardware/software co-design projects.
