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.
The Q7 processor card offers the following key features:
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
Linux Software Development Kit (SDK)
Radiation effects mitigation & 25krad TID lifetime
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.

The Q7 Camera Board is a development board allowing the rapid integration of high-performance image processing algorithms into your camera systems for high-bandwidth video or imagery applications. The Xiphos Q7 Camera Board is a Daughterboard for the Xiphos Q7 Processor Board. It supports typically-used space-based camera interfaces, allowing the Q7 to be quickly integrated with the desired cameras to begin software development.
Interfaces: Multiple USB 2.0, GPIO, serial, SpaceWire*, Camera Link* (2x Base, or 1x Medium, or 1x Full)**, multiple camera power outputs
Size: 110 x 110 x 15 mm
Input Voltage: 15-28V
Can be configured as LVDS. SpaceWire and Camera Link IP cores available from Xiphos.
Interfaces cannot all be used concurrently. Details of configuration options are available by request.
Power: Linux Software Development Kit (SDK)
Rea Time Clock: Radiation effects mitigation & 25krad TID lifetime
Daughterboard for the Q7 processor that provides a suite of functions and interfaces that are commonly required in a satellite ACS subsystem. Given the large suite of interfaces and functions available on the board, it can also be used in more general applications where only a subset of the available functions are required.
Interfaces: Numerous RS-422 and RS-485 serial interfaces, multiple GPIO
Size: 100 x 76 x 14.5 mm (with Q7, excluding RJ45 connector) Input Voltage: 25 to 34V (28V nominal) Power consumption: 2.7W @ idle
