Artix-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 170 921600 16640 256-LBGA
Active1,762 in stock

Overview

The XC7A15T-1FTG256C is a member of the AMD Artix-7 family, designed to provide high performance-per-watt for cost-sensitive applications. Featuring 16,640 logic cells and 170 available I/O pins, this FPGA balances logic density with a compact 256-LBGA footprint. It is optimized for low-power operation with a core supply voltage of 0.95V to 1.05V.

Why Choose This Part

This part offers an excellent balance of high-speed transceivers and logic resources in a small 17x17mm package. It provides significantly higher throughput than microcontrollers while maintaining a low power profile of 95mA run current at 1.0V.

Applications

Industrial Networking
Implementing custom protocols and bridging for Gigabit Ethernet and Industrial Ethernet standards.
Video Interface Conversion
Driving small displays or converting video signals using high-speed differential I/O.
PCIe Endpoint Expansion
Adding high-bandwidth connectivity to embedded systems via the integrated PCIe blocks.
Sensor Fusion
Processing high-speed data from multiple industrial sensors in parallel with low latency.
