Product details
Overview
XC7A15T-L1CPG236I from AMD is a Kintex-7 family FPGA with 14,625 logic cells, 1.2 Gb/s transceiver capability, and -1L speed grade in a 236-pin CP (Chip Scale Package) BGA. It integrates 96 DSP slices, 6.9 Mb of block RAM, and supports PCIe Gen2 x4 endpoint functionality for embedded vision and industrial control applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC7A15T-L1CPG236I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count (140 user I/Os), LVDS support (up to 70 differential pairs), thermal performance (industrial temperature range –40°C to +100°C), and configuration interface options (SPIx4, JTAG, SelectMAP).
Technical Context
The XC7A15T-L1CPG236I implements a 28 nm HKMG process architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated carry chains, and integrated clock management tiles (CMTs) containing MMCM and PLL blocks. It supports multi-voltage I/O banks (1.2 V to 3.3 V) and includes hardened IP for PCIe Gen2, Ethernet MAC, and memory controllers.
Configuration is performed via Master SPI, Slave SelectMAP, or JTAG, with bitstream encryption and SEU mitigation features enabled. The device uses internal voltage regulators for core (1.0V) and auxiliary (1.8V) rails, requiring external decoupling per AMD UG470 guidelines.
