Active252 in stock

Overview

The XC7A50T-1CSG324I is a high-performance Artix-7 FPGA from AMD (Xilinx) optimized for low power consumption and high I/O density. It features 52,160 logic cells and 2,764,800 bits of total RAM, making it suitable for cost-sensitive industrial and communications applications. This specific industrial-grade variant is housed in a compact 15x15mm 324-pin CSPBGA package.

Why Choose This Part

The Artix-7 architecture provides an excellent balance of power efficiency and performance, operating within a core voltage range of 0.95V to 1.05V. It offers significant logic density for its package size, including 4,075 LABs/CLBs and an industrial temperature rating of -40C to 100C for harsh environments.

Applications

Industrial Communication Gateways
Utilize the 210 available I/O and support for I2C, SPI, and UART to bridge industrial protocols or implement custom real-time Ethernet stacks.
Embedded Vision and Video Processing
Leverage the logic fabric and internal RAM for hardware-accelerated image filtering, scaling, and sensor interfacing.
PCIe Expansion Cards
Implement integrated PCI Express interfaces for high-bandwidth data acquisition or accelerator offloading in embedded systems.
Mixed-Signal Data Acquisition
Use the 17-channel, 12-bit integrated ADC (XADC) for monitoring system voltages and external analog sensors without extra discrete components.

Getting Started

Development is primarily performed using the Vivado Design Suite from AMD for synthesis, routing, and bitstream generation. Engineers can begin prototyping with the Arty A7-50T development board or similar platforms that feature the Artix-7 fabric. Programming and debugging are typically handled via the integrated JTAG interface using a Xilinx Platform Cable USB II or compatible programmer.
