AMD XC2V1000-4FGG456C

Overview

XC2V1000-4FGG456C from Xilinx is a 1-million-system-gate Virtex-II platform FPGA in a 456-pin Fine-Pitch BGA (FGG) package, operating at commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C) with -4 speed grade. It integrates 5,120 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), 40 Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), and 40 18-Kb Block SelectRAM™ modules. It supports LVDS, PCI-X, SSTL, and HSTL I/O standards and targets high-speed telecom and DSP systems requiring embedded memory and clock management.

For engineers reviewing the XC2V1000-4FGG456C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O count (328 user pins), DCM count (40), CLB density (5,120), core voltage (1.5 V), and fine-pitch BGA compatibility - all critical for migration from legacy Virtex-II designs or integration into space-constrained, high-bandwidth interfaces.

Technical Context

The XC2V1000-4FGG456C implements Xilinx's IP-Immersion architecture with a 0.15 µm/0.12 µm 8-layer metal CMOS process, delivering up to 420 MHz internal logic performance and 840 Mb/s I/O data rates. Its routing uses fourth-generation Active Interconnect Technology with predictable delay independent of fanout.

It features 40 dedicated DCMs supporting precise de-skew, frequency synthesis (M/D ratio), and fine-grained phase shifting (1/256 clock period resolution), alongside 16 global clock multiplexer buffers. Each CLB contains four slices with dual 4-input LUTs, dual flip-flops/latches, and carry chains optimized for arithmetic and wide-function logic.

FAQ

What is the maximum number of user I/O pins supported by XC2V1000-4FGG456C?

The XC2V1000-4FGG456C supports 328 user I/O pins in its FGG456 package. This count excludes 15 dedicated configuration and boundary-scan pins (e.g., CCLK, DONE, TCK, TDI, TDO, TMS, PROG_B). The I/O count is fixed for this device/package combination and is verified in Table 6 of DS031-1 (v3.5).

Does XC2V1000-4FGG456C support DDR memory interfaces?

Yes, XC2V1000-4FGG456C supports DDR SDRAM interfaces through its SelectIO-Ultra I/O blocks, which include built-in DDR input and output registers and compatibility with SSTL-2 and SSTL-3 standards. Its DCMs provide precise clock deskew and phase alignment required for reliable DDR timing closure.

What is the core voltage requirement for XC2V1000-4FGG456C?

The XC2V1000-4FGG456C requires a 1.5 V ± 3% core supply (VCCINT) for its logic array. It also mandates a 3.3 V auxiliary supply (VCCAUX) for configuration and I/O reference, regardless of I/O standard selected. I/O voltage (VCCO) varies per bank and must match the chosen I/O standard (e.g., 3.3 V for LVTTL, 2.5 V for SSTL2).

Can XC2V1000-4FGG456C be used with PCI-X compliant interfaces?

Yes, XC2V1000-4FGG456C is PCI-X compliant at 133 MHz and 66 MHz for 3.3 V operation. Its IOBs natively support PCI-X signaling, eliminating need for external level shifters or bus buffers - confirmed in the "SelectIO-Ultra Technology" section of DS031-1 (v3.5).

Is XC2V1000-4FGG456C compatible with Xilinx ISE design tools?

Yes, XC2V1000-4FGG456C is fully supported by Xilinx ISE Foundation and Alliance Series development tools (v14.7 and earlier). These tools provide synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and bitstream generation specifically validated for the Virtex-II architecture and speed grade -4.
