How to read an FPGA part number

FPGA order codes encode family, density, package, speed grade, temperature range and sometimes feature variants.

Read part numbers left to right, but check the vendor ordering guide. The same board name can ship in multiple FPGA density variants, and the same family can have different packages, speed grades or temperature ranges.

Boards: digilent/arty-a7, sipeed/tang-nano-20k
Chips: XC7A35TICSG324-1L, GW2AR-LV18QN88C8/I7
Toolchains: none
Protocols: none
Pitfalls: A decoder is an aid, not a replacement for the datasheet and ordering guide.
