The smallest Kintex UltraScale device, the KU025, has a reduced set of configuration features. The KU025 does not support RSA authentication, SEU mitigation (SEM) IP, or post-configuration CRC.

The following table summarizes the differences between the 7 series and UltraScale families, including the features that are restricted in the Kintex UltraScale KU025 device.
