Product details
Overview
XC7A50T-2CPG236I from AMD is a Kintex-7 family FPGA with 49,600 logic cells, 2.55 Gbps transceivers, and 236-pin CP (Chip Scale Package) BGA. It integrates block RAM, DSP slices, and clock management tiles for high-speed serial interface and embedded processing applications in industrial vision and communications infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the XC7A50T-2CPG236I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O voltage support (1.2–3.3 V), -2 speed grade timing margin, thermal performance of the 11×11 mm CPG236 package, and compatibility with Vivado Design Suite 2023.1+ toolchain.
Technical Context
The XC7A50T-2CPG236I implements a 28 nm HKMG process architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), 16-bit wide distributed RAM, and dual-port block RAM (BRAM) up to 36 Kb per instance. It supports SelectIO standards including LVCMOS, SSTL, HSTL, and differential signaling such as LVDS and TMDS.
It includes 240 user I/Os with programmable slew rate and drive strength, integrated PCI Express® Gen2 x4 endpoint capability, and dual 6-input LUTs per CLB. The -2 speed grade guarantees setup/hold timing at 622 MHz for internal logic and 1.25 Gbps for transceiver operation.
