Product details
Overview
XC7A50T-1CPG236C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Kintex-7 family FPGA with 47,520 logic cells, 2.55 Mb of block RAM, 240 DSP slices, and 168 I/O pins in a 236-pin CP (Chip Scale Package) with 0.8 mm pitch. It operates at -1 speed grade and supports 1.0V core voltage for high-performance embedded vision and industrial control applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC7A50T-1CPG236C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count, DSP slice availability, transceiver support (none), and thermal performance in compact industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The XC7A50T-1CPG236C implements a 28 nm HKMG process architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated carry chains, and integrated clock management tiles (CMTs) containing PLLs and MMCMs. It supports LVDS, SSTL, HSTL, and TMDS I/O standards across its 168 user-configurable pins.
No transceivers are integrated; high-speed serial connectivity requires external PHYs or companion devices. Configuration is performed via JTAG, SPIx4, or BPI parallel interfaces using internal or external configuration memory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for XC7A50T-1CPG236C?
The XC7A50T-1CPG236C is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +100°C junction temperature. This range supports deployment in enclosed control cabinets and outdoor industrial enclosures without active cooling. Thermal derating applies above 85°C ambient, and proper PCB copper pour and airflow must be validated per Xilinx UG474 guidelines for the XC7A50T-1CPG236C.
Does XC7A50T-1CPG236C support high-speed serial transceivers?
No, the XC7A50T-1CPG236C does not integrate multi-gigabit transceivers. It belongs to the Artix-7 subfamily of Kintex-7, which omits GT transceiver blocks. High-speed serial links such as PCIe, SATA, or SFP+ require external PHYs or companion devices. The XC7A50T-1CPG236C relies on parallel I/O and source-synchronous interfaces for bandwidth-critical paths.
What configuration modes are supported by XC7A50T-1CPG236C?
The XC7A50T-1CPG236C supports JTAG, master SPI (SPIx4), and BPI parallel configuration modes. Configuration bitstreams can be loaded from external flash memory (e.g., Micron MT25QL) or programmed in-system via USB-JTAG adapters. Vivado tools generate compatible .bin or .bit files, and fallback mechanisms are implemented for robust field updates of the XC7A50T-1CPG236C.
Is XC7A50T-1CPG236C pin-compatible with other Artix-7 devices in the same package?
XC7A50T-1CPG236C shares the 236-pin CP package footprint with XC7A35T-1CPG236C and XC7A75T-1CPG236C, but pin functions are not fully interchangeable due to differing I/O bank allocations and power pin placements. Direct replacement requires verification of VCCO, VCCAUX, and configuration pin assignments per UG475 for each specific variant of the XC7A50T-1CPG236C.
What is the maximum supported I/O standard voltage for XC7A50T-1CPG236C?
The XC7A50T-1CPG236C supports I/O voltages from 1.2V to 3.3V per bank, with VCCO programmable independently for each of its 12 SelectIO banks. SSTL18_I, HSTL_I, and LVCMOS33 are among the 19 supported standards. Voltage tolerance is limited to VCCO ±0.3V, and mixing standards within a bank is prohibited per the XC7A50T-1CPG236C datasheet DS181.
