Product details
Overview
XC7A50T-2CPG236C from AMD is a Kintex-7 FPGA with 47,520 logic cells, 2.5 Gbps transceivers, and 236-pin CP (Chip Scale Package) BGA. It supports PCIe Gen2 x4, DDR3 memory interfaces up to 800 MHz, and operates at -2 speed grade for balanced performance and power in compact embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC7A50T-2CPG236C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count (145 user I/Os), transceiver lane count (4), thermal profile (2.5 W typical active power), and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C junction).
Technical Context
The XC7A50T-2CPG236C implements a 28 nm HKMG process-based architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), block RAM (2.5 MB total), and DSP48E1 slices (160 units). It integrates SelectIO technology supporting LVDS, SSTL, HSTL, and MIPI D-PHY standards across its 145 user I/O pins.
Its transceiver subsystem includes four GTP transceivers operating from 600 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps, each with dedicated clocking, PRBS generators, and built-in eye scan capability. Configuration is supported via Master SPI, JTAG, or BPI modes using external flash or PROM.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based interface and processing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC7A35T-2CPG236C | 33,280 logic cells, 115 user I/Os, no transceivers - lower gate count and no high-speed serial I/O | Suitable for cost-sensitive control-only designs without PCIe or high-speed SerDes | Select when transceiver count and logic density are not required; reduces BOM cost by ~22% |
| XCKU035-2FFVA676E | Kintex UltraScale, 215K logic cells, 16.3 Gbps GTY transceivers, 676-pin FCBGA - higher performance and larger footprint | Required for 10G Ethernet, PCIe Gen3 x8, or multi-gigabit optical interfaces | Choose for next-generation bandwidth scaling; requires PCB redesign due to package and pinout change |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported DDR3 memory interface speed for XC7A50T-2CPG236C?
The XC7A50T-2CPG236C supports DDR3 SDRAM interfaces up to 800 MHz data rate (400 MHz clock frequency) using its MIG (Memory Interface Generator) IP core. This is validated with standard x8/x16 DDR3 components and requires proper board-level termination and layout adherence to Xilinx UG586 guidelines. The XC7A50T-2CPG236C achieves this using dedicated memory controller logic and phase-aligned clocking within Bank 15.
Does XC7A50T-2CPG236C include hard IP for PCIe Gen2?
Yes, the XC7A50T-2CPG236C integrates a hard PCIe Gen2 x4 endpoint or root port block compliant with PCI Express Base Specification v2.1. This eliminates the need for soft-core implementations and guarantees deterministic latency, low power, and full protocol compliance. The XC7A50T-2CPG236C's hard IP supports MSI/MSI-X, TLP parsing, and link training without consuming logic resources.
What configuration modes does XC7A50T-2CPG236C support?
The XC7A50T-2CPG236C supports Master SPI, Slave Serial, JTAG, and BPI (x16) configuration modes. Master SPI is most common for single-flash boot; JTAG enables boundary-scan testing and in-system programming. All modes are accessible through dedicated pins (e.g., CCLK, DIN, PROGRAM_B) and require no external logic. The XC7A50T-2CPG236C automatically detects mode based on INIT_B and MODE pin states at power-up.
Is XC7A50T-2CPG236C qualified for automotive applications?
No, the XC7A50T-2CPG236C is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is suitable for industrial, medical, and avionics applications but not for under-hood automotive use. For automotive-grade alternatives, consider AMD's XA series derivatives - the XC7A50T-2CPG236C itself lacks automotive qualification documentation and stress-test validation.
How many clock management tiles (CMTs) does XC7A50T-2CPG236C contain?
The XC7A50T-2CPG236C contains two Clock Management Tiles (CMTs), each integrating a Mixed-Mode Clock Manager (MMCM) and a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL). These provide independent clock synthesis, phase shifting, duty-cycle correction, and frequency multiplication/division. The XC7A50T-2CPG236C uses these CMTs to generate multiple synchronous clock domains for transceivers, memory interfaces, and logic fabric.
