Power Management
24.1 Introduction
Power optimization can start with selecting the right Zynq-7000 AP SoC device. For low-power
applications, choose either the 7z010 or 7z020 dual core device or the 7z007s, 7z012s, or 7z014s
single core device. Power can dramatically be reduced by shutting-down the PL side of the device.
I/O voltage and termination choice also affects power consumption. The clocks to individual PS
subsystems can be stopped.
The functionality of the PS is the same for all Zynq-7000 AP SoC devices except that the 7z012s and
7z015 devices have a reduced MIO pin count which impacts the availability of the Ethernet, USB and
other controllers. The two Zynq data sheets describe the clock frequency differences. The PL resource
differences for each device type are shown in section 21.1.2 PL Resources by Device Type.
Detailed device level power estimates for the PS and PL can be obtained using the XPE power
estimator spreadsheet. Power specifications are found in the Zynq-7000 AP SoC device datasheets
(see Appendix A, Additional Resources for a list of related documents).
