XC7S50-2CSGA324I

Overview

The XC7S50-2CSGA324I is a member of the AMD (formerly Xilinx) Spartan-7 family, featuring 52,160 logic cells and 2,764,800 bits of total RAM. It is optimized for low-cost, low-power applications that require high I/O counts, offering 210 user I/O in a compact 15x15mm 324-CSPBGA package. This industrial-grade device operates between -40C and 100C, making it suitable for demanding environmental conditions.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA offers a high ratio of I/O pins to logic density, allowing for extensive connectivity in a 324-ball package. The 28nm process technology provides a significant power-to-performance advantage over previous generations, with a quiescent VCCINT current as low as 95mA at 85C.

Applications

Getting Started

Development is performed using the Vivado Design Suite, which supports RTL synthesis and place-and-route. For hardware evaluation, engineers often use the Arty S7-50 development board, which features the XC7S50 and provides easy access to the device's extensive I/O capabilities and integrated XADC.
