What is Zynq?

Zynq is a family of Xilinx System-on-Chips (SoCs) that combine a processor system (PS) based on ARM Cortex-A9 processors with a programmable logic (PL) section based on Xilinx's programmable logic technology. This integration allows developers to create custom hardware accelerators and peripherals tightly coupled with the processing capabilities of the ARM processor. Zynq SoCs are commonly used in embedded systems applications requiring both high-performance processing and flexible hardware customization, such as industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, and medical imaging.
