XC7A50T-1FGG484I

Overview

The XC7A50T-1FGG484I is an Artix-7 FPGA from AMD (formerly Xilinx) offering a mid-to-high capacity programmable logic device for custom hardware acceleration and I/O-heavy designs. It provides significantly more logic and I/O capability than typical Spartan-7 parts, making it suitable when you need larger FPGA resources without moving up to the higher-cost Kintex family. The industrial temperature grade (-I) makes it suitable for deployment in temperature-sensitive or rugged embedded systems.

Why Choose This Part

Choose this Artix-7 part when you need substantially more programmable logic and I/O than Spartan-7 while keeping system cost and power below higher-tier FPGA families. It gives designers flexibility to implement custom datapaths, real-time processing, and extensive I/O without the premium of larger families. The industrial temperature grade supports deployment in more demanding environments.

Applications

Getting Started

Develop with Xilinx Vivado Design Suite (Vivado WebPACK supports Artix-7 devices) and use the vendor documentation and reference designs for the Artix-7 family. For learning and prototyping, lower-density Artix-7 dev boards (for example Digilent Arty A7) are helpful to validate flows before moving to a custom board with the FGG484 package; production use of this specific package typically requires a custom PCB and proper programming/JTAG fixtures. Use a compatible JTAG programmer (Digilent HS series or a Xilinx platform cable) and consult AMD/Xilinx application notes for power sequencing, IO standards, and bitstream handling.

Also Consider

XC7A35T-1FTG256I AMD - Lower-capacity Artix-7 option in a smaller package for lower-cost or smaller-PCB designs while keeping the same toolchain.

XC7A50T-1FGG484C AMD - Same logic capacity and package as the listed part but with commercial temperature grading for less temperature-critical applications.
