The XC7A35T-2FT256I is a standout member of the Xilinx Artix®-7 family, specifically engineered to bridge the gap between high-performance processing and strict power constraints. As industries move toward more compact and energy-efficient designs, this Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offers the logic density and I/O flexibility required for modern embedded systems. Built on the advanced 28nm high-performance, low-power (HPL) process technology, the XC7A35T-2FT256I delivers the best-in-class performance-per-watt.
Key Technical Features of XC7A35T-2FT256I
The Artix-7 series is renowned for its versatility. The XC7A35T-2FT256I model features 33,280 logic cells and 1,800 Kb of total Block RAM, making it suitable for complex signal processing tasks. It is housed in a fine-pitch 256-pin BGA package (FTG256), which provides a balance between high I/O count and PCB space conservation.
Furthermore, this specific variant is an Industrial grade (-I) component, meaning it is rated to operate reliably in harsh environments with temperatures ranging from -40°C to 100°C. For developers looking to integrate high-speed serial transceivers or DSP slices into their hardware, this Xilinx FPGA provides a robust foundation.
