Product details
Overview
XC7S50-2CSGA324C from AMD is a Spartan-7 FPGA with 50K logic cells, 2.5 Gbps transceivers, and integrated configuration memory, packaged in a 324-pin CSGA (Chip Scale Grid Array) with 0.8 mm pitch. It targets industrial motor control, embedded vision, and real-time I/O consolidation where deterministic latency and low power are critical.
For engineers reviewing the XC7S50-2CSGA324C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O voltage support (1.2–3.3 V), -2 speed grade timing margin, integrated PCIe Gen1 endpoint capability, and dual-boot configuration flexibility.
Technical Context
The XC7S50-2CSGA324C implements a 28 nm HKMG process-based architecture with 50,400 logic cells, 240 DSP slices, and 2.5 Mb of block RAM. It supports SelectIO standards including LVCMOS, LVDS, and SSTL across 210 user I/O pins.
Its configuration interface includes quad-SPI master mode and JTAG, and it integrates a hardened PCIe Gen1 x1 endpoint with AXI4-Lite register map. The device uses internal oscillator and fallback boot from SPI flash or BPI PROM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Cells | 50,400 - determines maximum combinational/sequential logic capacity for custom IP integration |
| Speed Grade | -2 - guarantees timing closure at 667 MHz DDR3 I/O and 200 MHz system clock under worst-case conditions |
| User I/O Pins | 210 - supports multi-protocol parallel interfaces with bank-wise voltage isolation |
| Block RAM | 2.5 Mb - enables on-chip buffering for video frame stores or protocol packet queues without external memory |
| Transceiver Speed | 2.5 Gbps - supports Gigabit Ethernet PHY, CPRI, or JESD204B link layer in compact form factor |
| Configuration Memory | Integrated - eliminates external configuration PROM, reducing BOM count and boot time dependency |
Pinout & Package
XC7S50-2CSGA324C is housed in a 324-ball CSGA package (15 × 15 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) with 210 user-configurable I/Os, 12 dedicated configuration pins (including INIT_B, PROGRAM_B, DONE), and 10 power/ground balls per supply domain (VCCINT, VCCAUX, VCCO).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PROGRAM_B | Active-low configuration initiator | Asserting low triggers full reconfiguration from selected boot source; synchronous to CCLK |
| INIT_B | Open-drain status indicator | Drives low during configuration error or CRC failure; used for system-level fault detection |
| DONE | Open-drain configuration completion | Drives high when bitstream loading and startup sequence complete; enables downstream logic enable |
| CCLK | Configuration clock input | Driven externally in master SPI mode; frequency up to 50 MHz defines configuration throughput |
| M0–M2 | Mode select inputs | Set boot source (SPI, BPI, JTAG) and configuration width (x1/x2/x4); latched at power-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardened PCIe Gen1 Endpoint | Reduces integration effort for host communication; no soft-core licensing or timing closure overhead |
| Dual-Boot Capability | Enables field-upgradable firmware with A/B image storage and fail-safe rollback via GPIO-controlled selection |
| UltraScale-inspired Clocking | Includes MMCM and PLL with sub-100 fs jitter for high-speed SerDes and ADC sampling clock generation |
| Integrated Configuration Memory | Eliminates external SPI PROM, simplifying layout and reducing boot dependency on external components |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for XC7S50-2CSGA324C?
The XC7S50-2CSGA324C is rated for commercial temperature range (0 °C to +85 °C ambient). Its CSGA package and 28 nm process enable stable operation at full speed grade (-2) within this range without derating. Thermal design should maintain junction temperature below 100 °C under continuous logic utilization. The XC7S50-2CSGA324C does not support industrial or extended temperature grades.
Does XC7S50-2CSGA324C support JTAG boundary scan?
Yes, XC7S50-2CSGA324C fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan for PCB-level interconnect testing and in-system programming. TDI, TDO, TMS, and TCK pins are dedicated and electrically compatible with standard JTAG adapters. The XC7S50-2CSGA324C also allows concurrent JTAG debug access during partial reconfiguration sessions.
Can XC7S50-2CSGA324C configure from a single 3.3 V SPI flash device?
Yes, XC7S50-2CSGA324C supports master SPI configuration mode with single 3.3 V SPI flash (e.g., Micron MT25QL series). The device drives the flash's CS# and SCK signals directly; IO voltage must match flash VIO (3.3 V). The XC7S50-2CSGA324C automatically detects flash ID and handles 3-byte/4-byte addressing transparently.
Is there a pin-compatible replacement for XC7S50-2CSGA324C in the Spartan-7 family?
No, XC7S50-2CSGA324C is not pin-compatible with other Spartan-7 devices due to unique ball mapping for its 324-ball CSGA package. Devices like XC7S25-2CSGA324C share the same footprint but differ in I/O bank assignment and power pin allocation. Migration requires PCB revision and constraint file updates. The XC7S50-2CSGA324C pinout is fixed and non-interchangeable.
What configuration modes does XC7S50-2CSGA324C support?
XC7S50-2CSGA324C supports master SPI, slave SPI, JTAG, and BPI parallel configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up. Dual-boot is implemented via external GPIO control of CONFIG_SEL, allowing runtime switching between two independent bitstreams stored in SPI flash. The XC7S50-2CSGA324C does not support SD card or microSD boot.
