Product details
Overview
XC2V2000-4BF957I from Xilinx is a high-density, industrial-grade Virtex-II platform FPGA with 2 million system gates, 10,752 CLBs, 336 dedicated 18-bit × 18-bit multipliers, 56 Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), and 624 user I/Os in a 957-pin flip-chip BGA package. It supports LVDS, DDR, PCI-X, and HSTL/SSTL I/O standards and targets high-speed telecom, networking, and DSP applications requiring deterministic clock management and embedded memory.
For engineers reviewing the XC2V2000-4BF957I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O capability per standard, DCM timing parameters, SelectRAM configuration limits, and validated alternative FPGAs for migration or second-sourcing-no extrapolation, no generic claims.
Technical Context
The XC2V2000-4BF957I implements a hierarchical, segmented Active Interconnect routing architecture with 24 long lines per row/column, 120 hex lines, and predictable delay independent of fanout. Its IOBs support dual-edge DDR registers per I/O path with 180° phase-shifted clocks generated by integrated DCMs.
Each CLB contains four slices with dual 4-input LUTs, dual storage elements (DFF/latch), fast carry chains, and horizontal cascade logic; block SelectRAM provides 18-Kb dual-port RAM configurable from 16K×1 to 512×36, with three read-during-write modes and direct association to multiplier blocks for efficient MAC operations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| System Gates | 2 million - defines logic capacity for complex IP-core integration in telecom baseband processing. |
| Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) | 10,752 - each contains 4 slices with dual LUTs and dual registers, enabling high register/LUT density for pipelined DSP pipelines. |
| Multiplier Blocks | 336 × 18-bit × 18-bit - dedicated hardware for parallel multiply-accumulate, critical for FIR filters and FFT engines. |
| Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) | 56 - provide jitter-reduced clock synthesis, ±1/256-cycle phase shift, and de-skew across global nets for synchronous interface timing closure. |
| User I/O Count | 624 - available in BF957 flip-chip BGA; supports up to 19 single-ended and 6 differential I/O standards including LVDS and PCI-X. |
| SelectRAM Capacity | 624 Kbits total - composed of 56 × 18-Kb dual-port blocks; enables large on-chip FIFOs, coefficient tables, and frame buffers without external memory. |
| Core Voltage (VCCINT) | 1.5 V - low-voltage operation reduces dynamic power in high-clock-frequency designs while maintaining 420 MHz internal performance. |
Pinout & Package
XC2V2000-4BF957I uses the BF957 flip-chip ball grid array package: 957 balls, 1.27 mm pitch, 40 mm × 40 mm body size, with 624 user I/Os plus 15 dedicated configuration/control pins (CCLK, DONE, M0–M2, PROG_B, PWRDWN_B, TCK, TDI, TDO, TMS, HSWAP_EN, DXN, DXP, RSVD) and VBATT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CCLK | Configuration Clock Input | Drives master serial or slave serial configuration; frequency ≤ 50 MHz for -4 speed grade; synchronous to bitstream loading. |
| DONE | Configuration Status Output | Open-drain active-high signal indicating successful configuration completion; requires external pull-up for proper initialization. |
| M0–M2 | Mode Selection Inputs | Set configuration mode at power-up (e.g., Master SelectMAP = 111); sampled on PROG_B rising edge; must be stable before configuration begins. |
| PROG_B | Program Initiate Input | Active-low asynchronous reset that clears configuration memory and restarts boot process; initiates reconfiguration sequence. |
| TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO | JTAG Boundary-Scan Interface | IEEE 1149.1-compliant test access port; supports INTEST, EXTEST, and HIGHZ instructions for board-level diagnostics and programming. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) | On-chip series or split termination for LVDCI, HSTL_DCI, SSTL_DCI, and LVDS_DCI standards-eliminates external resistors and improves signal integrity at 840 Mb/s. |
| DDR I/O Registers | Dual-edge capture/transmit per I/O using 180° phase-shifted clocks from DCM-enables true source-synchronous DDR interfaces without external PHY logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-density FPGA applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC2V3000-4FF896I | 3M gates, 14,336 CLBs, 448 multipliers, 96 DCMs, 624 I/Os in FF896 (1.00 mm pitch, 31×31 mm); same -4 speed grade and industrial temp rating. | Higher logic density and clock resources; identical I/O count but smaller footprint-suited for space-constrained radar modules where gate count exceeds XC2V2000 capacity. | Select when design requires >2M gates but must retain 624 I/Os and industrial temperature operation; verify thermal dissipation in FF896 vs BF957 mechanical layout. |
| XC2V1500-4BG728I | 1.5M gates, 7,680 CLBs, 240 multipliers, 48 DCMs, 516 I/Os in BG728 (1.27 mm pitch, 35×35 mm); wire-bond construction, lower I/O count and logic density. | Lower cost and simpler assembly; suitable for mid-range networking control planes where full XC2V2000 resources are unused. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controllers needing PCIe endpoint logic and moderate DSP-but not for bandwidth-intensive data paths requiring all 624 I/Os. |
Compared with XC2V2000-4BF957I, XC2V3000-4FF896I offers higher gate count and DCM count in a smaller package, while XC2V1500-4BG728I trades density and I/O for lower cost and wire-bond manufacturability-neither is pin-compatible, and PCB redesign is required for either replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XC2V2000-4BF957I?
The XC2V2000-4BF957I is rated for industrial temperature range: –40°C to +100°C junction temperature. This specification is guaranteed across all speed grades and I/O configurations per DS031 Module 3, and applies to continuous operation under worst-case voltage and load conditions.
Does XC2V2000-4BF957I support PCI-X 133 MHz at 3.3V?
Yes, XC2V2000-4BF957I supports PCI-X 133 MHz at 3.3V as a compliant peripheral device. Its SelectIO-Ultra IOBs meet PCI-X electrical specifications including setup/hold timing, drive strength, and noise margin-verified in DS031 Module 2 Table 1 and Module 3 switching characteristics.
How many 18-Kb Block SelectRAM modules does XC2V2000-4BF957I contain?
XC2V2000-4BF957I contains 56 × 18-Kb Block SelectRAM modules, totaling 1,008 Kbits of dedicated dual-port RAM. Each block is independently configurable and supports cascading; this count is fixed per device and confirmed in DS031 Module 1 Table 1 and Module 2 architecture description.
Is XC2V2000-4BF957I compatible with Xilinx ISE 14.7 software?
No-XC2V2000-4BF957I requires Xilinx ISE Foundation or Alliance Series tools version 6.3 or later, with full support ending at ISE 10.1. ISE 14.7 targets 7-series and newer devices; using it with XC2V2000-4BF957I will result in unrecognized device error and synthesis failure.
Can XC2V2000-4BF957I perform on-chip bitstream encryption?
Yes, XC2V2000-4BF957I includes an on-chip Triple-DES decryptor supporting one or two encrypted key sets. When enabled, it secures configuration bitstreams against unauthorized readback or cloning-functionality documented in DS031 Module 1 General Description and Module 2 Configuration section.
