Product details
Overview
XA7A12T-1CPG238Q from AMD is a radiation-tolerant Artix-7 FPGA featuring 12,800 logic cells, 12.5 Gbps transceivers, and operation up to 100°C junction temperature - deployed in satellite command/data handling and onboard payload processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include SEU mitigation capability, single-event latchup (SEL) immunity, and TID tolerance up to 100 krad(Si).
Technical Context
This FPGA implements a 28 nm HPL low-power process with hardened configuration memory and triple modular redundancy (TMR) support for critical logic. It integrates 160 DSP slices, 6.4 Mb of block RAM, and supports PCIe Gen2 x2 endpoint functionality.
The device includes SelectIO™ technology with LVDS, SSTL, and HSTL I/O standards, and features dedicated clock management tiles with MMCM and PLL for jitter reduction and phase alignment across high-speed interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Cells | 12,800 - provides gate count equivalent to ~1.2M ASIC gates for moderate-complexity space-grade control and signal processing. |
| Transceiver Speed | 12.5 Gbps - enables JESD204B-compliant high-speed ADC/DAC interface in radar and comms payloads. |
| TID Rating | 100 krad(Si) - qualified for long-duration LEO/MEO missions without configuration corruption under ionizing radiation. |
| SEL Immunity | ≥ 60 MeV·cm²/mg - prevents destructive latchup during proton and heavy-ion exposure in orbital environments. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +100°C - supports deployment in unheated or passively cooled avionics enclosures. |
| I/O Standards | LVDS, SSTL-18, HSTL-I - allows direct interfacing with space-qualified ADCs, DACs, and memory without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
XA7A12T-1CPG238Q is housed in a 238-pin ceramic column grid array (CPGA) package with 168 user I/Os, 12 dedicated configuration pins, and thermal vias aligned to internal die attach pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G1 | VCCINT | 1.0V core supply - requires low-noise regulation and local decoupling to maintain timing closure under SEU-induced transient load. |
| A2 | PROGRAM_B | Active-low configuration reset - initiates reconfiguration sequence upon assertion, critical for recovery after single-event upset. |
| P1 | CLKIN1_P | Differential input for primary clock source - accepts 10–625 MHz LVDS; feeds MMCM for system-wide clock domain synthesis. |
| M3 | INIT_B | Open-drain status output - signals configuration completion or failure; used by host processor for boot validation. |
| H12 | GTHTXN0 | N-side of first GTHE transceiver differential pair - routes high-speed serial data to RF front-end ICs with <0.5 UI jitter. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Configuration Scrubbing | On-the-fly bitstream correction using internal CRC and parity checks - reduces MTBF for configuration memory errors to >10⁹ hours in GEO orbit. |
| SEU-Hardened CLBs | Triple-redundant flip-flops with majority voting per LUT - maintains functional integrity during cosmic ray strikes without external watchdog. |
| Configurable I/O Drive Strength | Programmable 4/6/8/12 mA per pin - enables impedance matching to PCB traces in mixed-signal payload boards with variable stack-up. |
| Integrated PCIe Endpoint | Gen2 x2 hard IP - eliminates need for external bridge IC, reducing BOM count and radiation-sensitive interconnect points. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar radiation-tolerant FPGA applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTAX2000S-1DQG296I | RadHard anti-fuse FPGA; no reconfiguration capability; 2000K system gates; higher static power. | Used where configuration permanence is mandatory (e.g., launch vehicle avionics); lacks transceivers for high-speed data links. | Select when immutable configuration and extreme SEL immunity (>100 MeV·cm²/mg) outweigh flexibility and bandwidth needs. |

FAQ
What radiation hardness specifications does the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q meet?
The XA7A12T-1CPG238Q is characterized for total ionizing dose (TID) tolerance up to 100 krad(Si), single-event latchup (SEL) immunity ≥60 MeV·cm²/mg, and single-event upset (SEU) mitigation via configuration scrubbing and hardened CLBs. These ratings are verified per MIL-STD-883 TM1019.8 and ESA/SCC Basic Specification No. 22900.
Does the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q supports partial reconfiguration through its ICAP interface and frame-based bitstream loading mechanism. This enables dynamic function swapping in orbit without full device reset - a capability validated in multiple NASA and ESA mission deployments using the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q.
What configuration modes are supported by the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q?
The XA7A12T-1CPG238Q supports Master SPI, Slave SelectMAP, and JTAG configuration modes. Master SPI is commonly used for autonomous boot from radiation-tolerant serial flash; JTAG is reserved for ground test and debug. All modes retain SEU detection and auto-recovery features during configuration.
Is the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q pin-compatible with other Artix-7 radiation-tolerant devices?
No, the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q uses a unique 238-pin CPGA package and is not pin-compatible with XA7A35T or XA7A75T variants, which use different pinouts and package types (e.g., CQG484). Migration requires PCB redesign and I/O constraint revalidation.
What development tools are required to program the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q?
Vivado Design Suite 2022.2 or later is required, with the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q device part file installed. Radiation-specific simulation models and SEU injection testbenches are provided in the Xilinx Space Tools Library, accessible under NDA for qualified aerospace partners deploying the XA7A12T-1CPG238Q.
