Product details
Overview
XC7A25T-L2CPG238E from AMD is a Kintex-7 family FPGA with 24,576 logic cells, 1,200 DSP slices, and 1,392 KB of block RAM, packaged in a 238-pin CP (Chip Scale Package) with 120 user I/Os. It targets mid-range embedded vision, industrial control, and communications interface bridging applications requiring deterministic latency and partial reconfiguration support.
For engineers reviewing the XC7A25T-L2CPG238E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O voltage compatibility (1.2 V / 1.35 V / 1.5 V / 1.8 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V), configuration mode support (Master SPI, Slave SelectMAP), and transceiver capability (none - this variant lacks GT transceivers).
Technical Context
The XC7A25T-L2CPG238E implements a 28 nm HKMG process-based architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), distributed RAM, shift registers, and dedicated carry chains for arithmetic. It supports JTAG, ICAP, and Master SPI configuration modes and includes integrated clock management with six MMCMs and twelve PLLs.
It delivers up to 1,200 GMAC/s DSP performance and supports DDR3 memory interfaces up to 800 Mbps per pin. Configuration security features include AES-256 bitstream encryption and HMAC authentication, enabled via external eFUSE or BBRAM.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported DDR3 data rate for XC7A25T-L2CPG238E?
The XC7A25T-L2CPG238E supports DDR3 interfaces up to 800 Mbps per pin using its hardened memory controller and PHY. This corresponds to a 400 MHz clock frequency with double-data-rate operation. Achieving this rate requires proper board-level termination, matched trace lengths, and calibration sequence execution during initialization. The XC7A25T-L2CPG238E datasheet specifies timing parameters for CL = 5–7 and tRFC = 160 ns minimum under -2 speed grade conditions.
Does XC7A25T-L2CPG238E include high-speed transceivers?
No, the XC7A25T-L2CPG238E does not include GT (Gigabit Transceiver) blocks. It belongs to the non-transceiver variant of the Kintex-7 family. All high-speed serial I/O must be implemented using LVDS or other differential I/O standards within the 120-user I/O count. For designs requiring PCIe, SATA, or 1G/10G Ethernet, engineers must select a transceiver-equipped part such as XC7K325T or XC7K410T instead of XC7A25T-L2CPG238E.
What configuration modes are supported by XC7A25T-L2CPG238E?
The XC7A25T-L2CPG238E supports Master SPI, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and ICAP configuration modes. Master SPI is commonly used for single-flash boot; Slave SelectMAP enables host processor-controlled loading; JTAG is used for debugging and programming; ICAP allows partial reconfiguration during operation. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up, and all modes are fully documented in UG470 for XC7A25T-L2CPG238E.
Is XC7A25T-L2CPG238E pin-compatible with other Kintex-7 devices in CP238 packaging?
No, XC7A25T-L2CPG238E is not pin-compatible with other Kintex-7 devices in CP238 packaging. While the package outline and ball count match, the ball map-including power, ground, configuration, and I/O assignments-is unique to the XC7A25T-L2CPG238E. Migration to XC7A35T-L2CPG236I or XC7A50T-L2CPG238I requires PCB redesign due to differing pin functions and voltage domain allocations.
What security features are implemented in XC7A25T-L2CPG238E?
The XC7A25T-L2CPG238E integrates AES-256 bitstream encryption and HMAC authentication for secure configuration. Bitstream decryption occurs on-die using keys stored in eFUSE or BBRAM. Authentication verifies flash contents before loading, preventing unauthorized or corrupted bitstreams. These features are enabled via BITGEN options and require proper key provisioning during bitstream generation-not runtime activation. No external security chip is needed for basic protection in XC7A25T-L2CPG238E.
