Q7
Processor

Upholding the small form, minimal weight, and conservative power usage of its predecessors while boasting solid multiprocessor CPU performance, our Q7 is a hybrid environment of powerful CPUs and reprogrammable logic that will get the job done.

Xiphos Q7 Processor

The Q7 processor card offers the following key features:

SPEC SHEET Compare Processors
Processor:
  • Xilinx Zynq SoC includes ARM dual-core Cortex-A9 MPCore processors supported by massive programmable logic resources
Memory:
  • LPDDR2 RAM (with ECC)
  • 2x QSPI Flash (NOR)
  • 2x MicroSD
Power:
  • Typical 2W @ 5V to 28V
INTERFACES:
  • Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, serial, 90 I/O including LVDS,  accessible through a mezzanine connector
Operating system:
  • Linux Software Development Kit (SDK)
Space hardening:
  • Radiation effects mitigation suite
  • Tested to 25krad TID

Applications

The Q7 Processor is ideal for space applications that require high processing power and flexibility, and it is often used for image processing, signal processing, and control applications, such as satellite imaging, visual inspection, and autonomous navigation.
