Product details
Overview
XC7A50T-1FTG256I from AMD (Xilinx) is a Kintex-7 family FPGA with 47,520 logic cells, 2.55 Gbps transceiver capability, and 13.1 Mb of total block RAM. It features 170 user I/Os in a 256-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package and is designed for high-performance embedded vision and industrial Ethernet applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC7A50T-1FTG256I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver speed, I/O voltage support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), configuration interface (SPI/BPI), and thermal performance in extended industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C).
Technical Context
The XC7A50T-1FTG256I implements a 28 nm HKMG process-based architecture with integrated clock management tiles (CMT) containing PLLs and MMCMs for low-jitter clock synthesis. It supports SelectIO™ standards including LVDS, SSTL, HSTL, and TMDS across its 170 user I/O pins.
Configuration is performed via Master SPI or BPI mode using external flash memory, and it includes built-in SEU mitigation through CRC-based configuration monitoring and partial reconfiguration support for dynamic function swapping without full device reset.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver line rate for XC7A50T-1FTG256I?
The XC7A50T-1FTG256I supports a maximum transceiver line rate of 2.55 Gbps per channel. This value is specified in the Kintex-7 DC and Switching Characteristics datasheet (DS182) and applies to all GTPE2 transceivers in this device variant. The XC7A50T-1FTG256I contains two GTPE2 transceivers, each capable of independent 2.55 Gbps operation under recommended voltage and temperature conditions.
Does XC7A50T-1FTG256I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC7A50T-1FTG256I fully supports partial reconfiguration as defined in the Kintex-7 Configuration User Guide (UG470). This capability allows dynamic replacement of logic modules while maintaining operation of other configured regions. The XC7A50T-1FTG256I implements the required configuration port infrastructure and CRC-based integrity checking needed for safe runtime updates.
What configuration modes are supported by XC7A50T-1FTG256I?
XC7A50T-1FTG256I supports Master SPI, Slave Serial, Slave Parallel, and JTAG configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by the M0–M2 pins at power-up. The most commonly used method is Master SPI mode, which loads configuration bitstream from a standard quad-SPI flash device. All modes are documented in the Kintex-7 Configuration User Guide (UG470).
Is XC7A50T-1FTG256I qualified for automotive applications?
XC7A50T-1FTG256I is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is rated for the extended industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C) and used in automotive ADAS sensor hubs where system-level qualification is performed. For direct automotive qualification, AMD offers the XA series (e.g., XA7A50T), which undergoes AEC-Q100 stress testing and includes automotive-specific documentation and traceability.
What is the total amount of block RAM available in XC7A50T-1FTG256I?
The XC7A50T-1FTG256I provides 13.1 Mb (13,736,448 bits) of total block RAM distributed across 240 Block RAM primitives. Each primitive is 36 Kb and can be configured as true dual-port RAM, shift register, or ROM. This capacity is confirmed in the Kintex-7 Data Sheet (DS182) and supports applications such as video line buffers, protocol packet queues, and coefficient storage for FIR filters.
