Product details
Overview
XC7A15T-1CPG236I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Spartan-7 FPGA featuring 15,822 logic cells, 960 Kbits of block RAM, 120 DSP slices, and support for DDR3 memory interfaces up to 800 Mbps. It is packaged in a 236-pin CPFGA (Chip Scale Package) with 144 user I/Os and operates at -40°C to +100°C junction temperature. It targets cost-sensitive industrial control and embedded vision applications requiring deterministic low-latency processing.
For engineers reviewing the XC7A15T-1CPG236I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O voltage compatibility (1.2V/1.35V/1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V), configuration mode support (Master SPI, Slave SelectMAP), and thermal performance in compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The XC7A15T-1CPG236I implements a 28 nm HKMG process-based architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated carry chains, and integrated clock management tiles (CMTs) containing PLLs and MMCMs. It supports transceiver-less serial connectivity via LVDS, TMDS, and sub-LVDS I/O standards.
Configuration is performed via quad-SPI flash or JTAG, with bitstream encryption and HMAC authentication available. The device includes internal startup sequence control, brown-out detection, and dual-boot capability using external flash memory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported memory interface speed for XC7A15T-1CPG236I?
The XC7A15T-1CPG236I supports DDR3 SDRAM interfaces up to 800 Mbps data rate (400 MHz clock) using its dedicated memory controller logic and I/O banks configured for SSTL15. This is validated in Xilinx UG473 and applies specifically to the XC7A15T-1CPG236I device grade and package combination.
Does XC7A15T-1CPG236I support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC7A15T-1CPG236I fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan for PCB-level interconnect testing. Its TAP controller is accessible via dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins, and is enabled by default after power-up before configuration begins.
Can XC7A15T-1CPG236I operate with a single 1.0V supply for VCCINT?
Yes, XC7A15T-1CPG236I requires exactly 1.0V ±3% on VCCINT for core logic operation. Deviation beyond this range may cause timing violations or configuration failure. The device does not support adaptive voltage scaling or multiple core voltage options.
Is XC7A15T-1CPG236I pin-compatible with other Spartan-7 devices in CPFGA packages?
No, XC7A15T-1CPG236I is not pin-compatible with higher-density Spartan-7 devices like XC7A35T-1CPG236I despite sharing the same 236-ball CPFGA package. Ball functions differ across densities due to distinct I/O bank allocations and power pin placements.
What configuration modes are supported by XC7A15T-1CPG236I?
XC7A15T-1CPG236I supports Master SPI (with quad-SPI flash), Slave SelectMAP (for parallel PROM or microcontroller-driven configuration), and JTAG modes. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pin states at power-on reset, as defined in Xilinx DS182.
