The XC7A200T-2FBG484I is an AMD/Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA ordering code. For buyers, matching the exact part is as important as checking logic capacity. A device with enough resources can still be unsuitable because of its package, timing or board requirements.

See the XC7A200T-2FBG484I product and inquiry page. Engineering specifications should be checked against AMD's Artix 7 documentation.

1. What resources are you actually buying?

AMD lists 215,360 logic cells and 740 DSP slices for the XC7A200T device. These describe programmable resources, not a ready-made processor or a guaranteed application throughput. The FPGA requires an appropriate design, constraints and configuration flow.

Potential evaluation areas include parallel data processing, custom interfaces and DSP pipelines. Suitability depends on the implemented design. Ask engineering for actual resource use and remaining margin rather than approving a part from logic-cell count alone.

2. Keep every part of the ordering code

  • XC7A200T:identifies the Artix 7 device.

  • -2:identifies the speed grade; it is not a fixed MHz rating.

  • FBG484:identifies the package code and 484-ball package. It does not mean 484 user I/O signals.

  • I:identifies the industrial temperature grade. Apply the manufacturer's junction-temperature conditions and thermal requirements, not an assumed ambient-temperature guarantee.

Do not shorten a purchase order to “A200T” or “484-pin FPGA.” Pin assignments, power connections, I/O banks and exposed transceiver resources must match the specific package and board.

AMD's package-specific Artix 7 PCIe documentation also illustrates why interface planning must use the selected device and package rather than family maximums.

3. What should engineering confirm before the first order?

Request an implemented design report for the exact target part. Review LUT/register, block-memory and DSP use, required I/O bank voltages, clocks, transceivers and timing results. Resource fit alone does not establish that timing is met.

For example, a hypothetical 16-channel pipeline receiving two-byte samples at one million samples per second per channel produces 32 million bytes per second before framing or metadata. This is an application requirement calculation, not a throughput specification for this FPGA. The design must sustain the complete input, processing, buffering and output path.

Also budget for configuration storage, regulators, clock sources, external memory if needed, and board assembly. Buying the FPGA does not supply a complete working system.

4. Can another speed grade or package replace it?

Do not approve a substitution merely because the alternative is an Artix 7 device or has the same ball count. Have engineering check the pinout, power and I/O requirements, package footprint, timing, configuration files and required interfaces.

A different speed grade requires evaluation against the timing constraints and operating conditions. A different package can affect routing and interface availability. Even where manufacturer documentation describes footprint compatibility, the complete design still needs validation.

5. A practical sample acceptance plan

  • Incoming checks:compare the full part number, labels, packaging and agreed traceability records with the purchase order.

  • Board bring-up:use the approved power and clock sequence and verify configuration and debug access.

  • Real workload:run the intended bitstream and interfaces rather than relying only on device detection.

  • Sustained operation:measure data integrity, timing-related failures and recovery over the specified test duration.

  • Thermal validation:evaluate the real workload and cooling arrangement against the manufacturer's operating conditions.

Record board revision, bitstream version, tool version, constraints and test conditions. Successful identification or configuration alone does not establish provenance or all performance specifications.

6. What packaging labels can and cannot prove

A label can help reconcile a shipment's stated part number, quantity and date or lot code. It does not independently establish current saleable inventory, authenticity, storage history or suitability for production. Request the documentation and inspection agreed for the project, and resolve mismatches before assembly.

Do not use a packaging photograph as a blanket claim that a whole batch is original or ready for immediate shipment.

7. Send an RFQ that can be compared

  • Complete code: XC7A200T-2FBG484I.

  • Sample quantity, production quantity and target delivery date.

  • Packing and batch/date-code requirements, where applicable.

  • Required traceability records and acceptance arrangements.

  • Engineering-approved revision restrictions, if any.

  • No substitutions without prior written approval.

Ask suppliers to distinguish confirmed deliverable quantities from estimated supply. Compare the same code, packing and delivery terms. Submit requirements through the WOMAiELEC product page; availability, price and lead time require confirmation in a specific quotation.
