Overview

The XC7A50T-3FGG484E is a high-performance member of the Artix-7 FPGA family, optimized for low power and high-speed serial connectivity. It features 52,160 logic cells and 250 available I/O pins in a 484-BBGA package, making it suitable for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant digital signal processing and high-bandwidth interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA offers a high performance-per-watt ratio with its 28nm HPL process and speed grade -3 rating. The inclusion of 2,764,800 bits of total RAM and dedicated DSP slices allows for complex algorithm execution without the power overhead of high-end Virtex or Kintex devices.

Applications

Industrial Vision Systems
Utilizes 120 DSP slices and high-speed I/O for real-time image filtering and protocol conversion in machine vision cameras.
PCI Express Integration
Leverages the integrated block for PCIe to provide low-latency data paths between hardware accelerators and host processors.
Software Defined Radio (SDR)
The 25 x 18 multipliers and 48-bit accumulators enable efficient implementation of digital down-converters and FFT blocks.
Multi-Channel Sensor Fusion
Aggregates data from multiple high-speed analog and digital sensors using the built-in XADC and SelectIO technology.
