XC7A50T-1FTG256I

Overview

XC7A50T-1FTG256I is an Artix-7 FPGA from Xilinx (AMD) in the FTG256 BGA package and industrial temperature grade. It provides a mid-range FPGA resource step-up for designs that need more logic, block RAM, and DSP capacity while keeping the same board footprint and Vivado toolchain. The device is intended for hardware acceleration, signal processing, and custom I/O implementations.

Why Choose This Part

Choosing the XC7A50T in the FTG256 package lets you upgrade to significantly more FPGA resources without changing the board footprint or the Vivado-based toolflow. Artix-7 devices offer a favorable performance-per-watt trade for mid-range acceleration and signal-processing tasks. The part is supported by Xilinx IP cores and a large ecosystem of reference designs and third-party tools, which speeds integration into production systems.

Applications

Getting Started

Develop with Xilinx Vivado Design Suite (WebPACK or paid editions) and a JTAG programmer such as Digilent USB-JTAG or Xilinx Platform Cable USB II. Use development or carrier boards that expose the FTG256 BGA pinout or create a custom PCB with the FTG256 footprint, paying attention to required power rails, decoupling, and thermal dissipation. Consult Xilinx datasheets and reference designs for power sequencing, bank voltages, and recommended PCB layout practices.
