Product Description
The XC7A35T-3CPG236E belongs to the renowned Xilinx Artix-7 family, specifically engineered to provide the industry’s best performance-per-watt. As modern electronic designs move toward miniaturization, this Xilinx FPGA offers a sophisticated solution for developers who require high logic density in a compact 10x10mm footprint. Consequently, it has become a staple in medical imaging, defense, and high-end consumer electronics.
Optimized Architecture for Efficiency
The “3” speed grade in the XC7A35T-3CPG236E indicates this is the highest-performance variant within its class. This ensures that timing-critical applications can operate at maximum clock frequencies without compromising thermal stability. Moreover, the Artix-7 series is built on a high-performance, low-power (HPL) 28nm process technology. This allows the chip to deliver significant computational throughput while maintaining a remarkably low power profile.
