Product details
Overview
XC7S50-1FGGA484C from AMD is a Spartan-7 FPGA with 50K logic cells, 2.5 Gbps transceivers, and integrated block RAM, configured in a 484-pin Fine-Pitch Flip-Chip BGA (FPGA package FGG484). It serves as a programmable logic fabric for industrial motor control, real-time vision preprocessing, and embedded protocol bridging.
For engineers reviewing the XC7S50-1FGGA484C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count (285 user I/O), LVDS support, -1 speed grade timing, and industrial temperature range (0°C to 85°C) compliance.
Technical Context
The XC7S50-1FGGA484C implements a 28 nm HKMG process-based architecture with 50,400 logic cells, 240 DSP slices, and 2.1 Mb of total block RAM. It supports SelectIO standards including LVCMOS, LVDS, and SSTL, with dedicated clock management tiles (CMT) containing PLLs and MMCMs.
It includes 16 transceiver lanes supporting up to 2.5 Gbps line rates, configurable as PCIe Gen1 endpoints or serial interfaces. Configuration is performed via quad-SPI flash or JTAG, with bitstream encryption and SEU mitigation features enabled.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver line rate for XC7S50-1FGGA484C?
The XC7S50-1FGGA484C supports transceiver line rates up to 2.5 Gbps per lane. This is confirmed in the Spartan-7 DC and AC Switching Characteristics datasheet (DS191), applicable to all FGG484-packaged devices in the -1 speed grade. The XC7S50-1FGGA484C uses GTP transceivers with built-in clock recovery and equalization optimized for industrial serial links like Camera Link and SLVS-EC.
Does XC7S50-1FGGA484C support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC7S50-1FGGA484C fully supports IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan testing via dedicated TDI, TDO, TMS, and TCK pins. The device implements a 4-bit instruction register and supports INTEST, EXTEST, SAMPLE/PRELOAD, and BYPASS instructions. This capability is documented in the Spartan-7 Configuration User Guide (UG470) and applies directly to the XC7S50-1FGGA484C package variant.
What configuration modes are supported by XC7S50-1FGGA484C?
XC7S50-1FGGA484C supports master SPI, slave serial, slave parallel, and JTAG configuration modes. Master SPI is most common for production, using on-board quad-SPI flash. All modes are electrically and functionally validated for the FGGA484 package. The XC7S50-1FGGA484C's CONFIG_MODE pins (M0–M2) select the active mode at power-up, as specified in DS191 Table 1-2.
Is XC7S50-1FGGA484C qualified for automotive applications?
No, XC7S50-1FGGA484C is rated for industrial temperature (0°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It lacks automotive-grade screening, extended temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), and automotive-specific failure reporting. For automotive use, AMD recommends the XA Spartan-7 family (e.g., XA7S50), which shares the same logic fabric but includes automotive qualification and enhanced reliability features.
How many clock management tiles (CMTs) does XC7S50-1FGGA484C contain?
XC7S50-1FGGA484C contains two clock management tiles (CMTs), each integrating one PLL and one MMCM. These provide independent clock synthesis, phase shifting, and frequency multiplication for multiple clock domains. This configuration is fixed for all Spartan-7 devices with ≥50K logic cells and is explicitly defined in UG476 for the XC7S50-1FGGA484C.
