Purchasing Options
The Zybo Z7 can be purchased with either a Zynq-7010 or Zynq-7020 loaded. These two Zybo Z7 product variants
are referred to as the Zybo Z7-10 and Zybo Z7-20, respectively. When Digilent documentation describes
functionality that is common to both of these variants, they are referred to collectively as the “Zybo Z7”. When
describing something that is only common to a specific variant, the variant will be explicitly called out by its name.
The primary difference between the two variants is the size of the FPGA inside the Zynq AP SoC. The Zynq
processors both have the same capabilities, but the -20 has about a 3 times larger internal FPGA than the -10. Also,
The Zynq-7010 has slightly fewer FPGA attached pins than the Zynq-7020, which means several features found on
the Zybo Z7-20 are not available on the Zybo Z7-10. The differences between the two variants are summarized
below:

The Zybo Z7-20 includes a fan and heat sink in order to dissipate the extra heat generated from the additional
FPGA resources when running complex, fast-switching designs.
The board can be purchased stand-alone or with a voucher to unlock the Xilinx SDSoC toolset. The SDSoC voucher
unlocks a 1 year license that can be used with the Zybo Z7. After the license expires, any version of SDSoC that was
released during this 1 year period can continue to be used indefinitely. For more information on purchasing, see
the Zybo Z7 Product Page. At the time of purchase, it is also possible to add-on a microSD card, 5V 2.5A power
supply, and micro USB cable as needed.
