Overview
XC7S50-2FTGB196I from AMD is a Spartan-7 FPGA with 50K logic cells, 2.5 Gbps transceivers, and integrated block RAM, configured in a 196-pin FTGB (Fine-Pitch Thin Quad Flatpack Ball Grid Array) package for high-density I/O routing in industrial control and embedded vision systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC7S50-2FTGB196I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O voltage support (1.2V/1.35V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V), -2 speed grade timing closure, thermal performance in extended temperature range (-40°C to +100°C), and configuration via SPIx4 or JTAG.
Technical Context
The XC7S50-2FTGB196I implements a 6-input LUT-based logic fabric with dedicated carry chains and distributed RAM, supporting synchronous design flows with Vivado Design Suite. It integrates 240 DSP48E1 slices for fixed-point arithmetic and supports partial reconfiguration for dynamic function swapping.
Configuration is performed through Master SPI or JTAG modes, with bitstream authentication via AES-256 encryption and HMAC-SHA256 integrity checking. The device includes hardened PCIe Gen2 x1 endpoint logic and supports DDR3L memory interfaces up to 800 MHz.
