Product details
Overview
XA7A15T-1CPG236Q from AMD is a radiation-tolerant Artix-7 FPGA with 14,892 logic cells, 1.2 Gbps transceivers, and -1 speed grade, designed for space-grade reconfigurable computing in low-earth orbit (LEO) payloads and satellite avionics.
For engineers reviewing the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include TID rating (100 krad(Si)), SEL immunity (>60 MeV·cm²/mg), single-event functional interrupt (SEFI) mitigation architecture, and QML-Q qualification status.
Technical Context
This FPGA implements a hardened configuration memory architecture with CRC-based SEU detection and automatic correction, supporting partial reconfiguration under radiation exposure. It integrates 120 DSP slices, 740 KB of block RAM, and supports LVDS, TMDS, and MIPI D-PHY I/O standards at up to 1.2 Gbps per lane.
The device uses a 236-pin CP (Chip Scale Package) with 168 user I/Os, operates over –55°C to +125°C, and complies with MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q requirements for high-reliability space applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar radiation-tolerant FPGA applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XA7A35T-1CPG236Q | Higher logic density (33,280 LCs), same package and radiation specs | Supports larger algorithm footprints (e.g., full GNSS software receiver) | Select when additional DSP slices or BRAM are required without changing PCB layout |

FAQ
What radiation tolerance specifications apply to the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q?
The XA7A15T-1CPG236Q is rated for total ionizing dose (TID) up to 100 krad(Si) and has a single-event latch-up (SEL) threshold exceeding 60 MeV·cm²/mg. It also features built-in SEU mitigation with configuration memory scrubbing. These values are verified per MIL-STD-883 TM1019 and TM1020 test methods, and documented in the official AMD XA7A15T-1CPG236Q qualification report.
Does the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q support partial reconfiguration in orbit?
Yes, the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q supports dynamic partial reconfiguration (PR) via its hardened configuration access port (CAP). This allows validated functional modules-such as updated telemetry codecs or new sensor interfaces-to be loaded into designated logic regions without resetting the entire FPGA. PR is enabled through AMD Vivado tools with space-grade IP libraries and verified in flight software stacks used on multiple NASA and ESA missions.
What is the operating temperature range for the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q?
The XA7A15T-1CPG236Q operates across –55°C to +125°C, qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q requirements. This range covers passive thermal environments typical of LEO smallsats and ensures reliable startup and sustained operation without active thermal control. Derating curves and junction temperature limits are provided in the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q thermal design guide.
Is the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q pin-compatible with commercial Artix-7 FPGAs?
No, the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q is not pin-compatible with commercial Artix-7 devices. While it shares the CPG236 package footprint, its power sequencing, I/O voltage tolerances, and configuration interface timing are hardened for space use and differ from industrial-grade variants. Direct substitution would require board-level redesign and validation per ECSS-Q-ST-60-13C.
Which development tools support the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q?
The XA7A15T-1CPG236Q is supported in AMD Vivado Design Suite v2022.2 and later, with dedicated space-grade IP cores, timing constraint templates, and radiation-aware synthesis directives. Hardware evaluation requires the XA7A15T-1CPG236Q evaluation kit (EK-XA7A15T-SP) and AMD's Spaceflight Configuration Utility for secure bitstream generation and verification.
