AMD XC7VX485T-2FFG1927I

Overview

XC7VX485T-2FFG1927I from AMD is a high-performance 28 nm Virtex-7 FPGA with 485,760 logic cells, 2,880 DSP slices, and 36.9 Mb of block RAM. It features 1927-pin flip-chip BGA packaging, supports transceiver line rates up to 13.1 Gb/s, and targets high-speed serial interface and signal processing applications in radar and wired communications.

For engineers reviewing the XC7VX485T-2FFG1927I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include transceiver voltage compliance (1.0V core / 1.8V I/O), thermal design margin for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +100°C), and configuration interface support (JTAG, SelectMAP, SPI).

Technical Context

The XC7VX485T-2FFG1927I implements a 28 nm HKMG process-based architecture with integrated PCIe Gen3 x8 endpoint capability, 24 transceiver quads supporting 600–13,125 Mb/s rates, and dual-register LUTs enabling 6-input function mapping. It includes hardened memory controllers for DDR3/DDR3L up to 1866 Mbps and AXI-4 compliant interconnect infrastructure.

Configuration occurs via dedicated CCLK and DINS pins using 32-bit parallel (SelectMAP) or quad-SPI modes; startup sequence supports multi-boot with fallback and secure bitstream encryption using AES-256 and HMAC-SHA-256 keys.
