Product details
Overview
XC2V40-4FGG256I from Xilinx is a 40K-system-gate Virtex-II platform FPGA in a 256-pin Fine-Pitch BGA (FGG256) package, rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C), with 88 user I/Os, four Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), and 1.5 V core supply. It implements configurable logic blocks (CLBs), 18-Kb Block SelectRAM, and 18×18 multipliers for telecom and DSP applications requiring high-speed I/O and deterministic clock management.
For engineers reviewing the XC2V40-4FGG256I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O standard support (LVDS, SSTL, HSTL, PCI-X), DCM timing parameters, DCI termination capability, and industrial-grade thermal performance - all specific to the XC2V40-4FGG256I variant.
Technical Context
The XC2V40-4FGG256I integrates 256 CLB slices (1,024 LUTs), four 18-Kb dual-port Block SelectRAM modules (72 Kb total RAM), and eight 18×18 multipliers. Its routing uses fourth-generation Active Interconnect Technology with 24 long lines per row/column and predictable delay independent of fanout.
It features four DCMs supporting precise de-skew, frequency synthesis (M/D ratio), and fine-grained phase shifting (1/256 clock period steps). I/Os support 19 single-ended standards (including LVCMOS15–33, SSTL, HSTL, PCI-X) and six differential standards (LVDS, BLVDS, LVPECL), with Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) for on-chip series/split termination.

| PROG_B | Program Initiate Input | Active-low asynchronous reset that clears configuration memory and restarts loading |
| VCCINT | Core Power Supply | 1.5 V supply for CLBs, RAM, and multipliers; requires low-noise decoupling near package corners |
| VCCAUX | Auxiliary Power Supply | 3.3 V supply for DCMs, configuration logic, and JTAG interface; must be stable before VCCINT |
| VCCO_0–VCCO_3 | I/O Bank Power Supplies | Independent 1.5–3.3 V supplies per I/O bank; define voltage thresholds and drive strength |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XC2V40-4FGG256I?
The XC2V40-4FGG256I is rated for industrial temperature range: –40°C to +100°C junction temperature. This specification is validated per DS031 Module 1 and applies under specified power dissipation and PCB thermal design conditions. Thermal derating is required above 85°C ambient if power exceeds 1.2 W; full performance is guaranteed up to 100°C TJ. The XC2V40-4FGG256I datasheet defines thermal resistance (θJA) as 22.5°C/W for standard 4-layer board layout.
Does XC2V40-4FGG256I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC2V40-4FGG256I supports partial reconfiguration via Xilinx's Dynamic Reconfiguration Port (DRP) and frame-based bitstream loading, as documented in DS031 Module 2. This enables runtime logic updates without resetting the entire device - critical for fault-tolerant systems and adaptive signal processing. The XC2V40-4FGG256I requires use of Xilinx ISE 8.2i or later tools and adherence to module boundary constraints during design partitioning.
What I/O standards with Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) are supported by XC2V40-4FGG256I?
The XC2V40-4FGG256I supports DCI for LVDCI (LVCMOS), GTL_DCI, GTLP_DCI, HSTL_I/II/III/IV_DCI, SSTL18/2/3_DCI, and LVDS_25_DCI - totaling 16 DCI-capable standards. Each I/O bank can configure termination independently, with series (50 Ω, 75 Ω) or split (25 Ω + 25 Ω) topologies. This eliminates external termination resistors and improves signal integrity for high-speed interfaces like DDR SDRAM and QDR SRAM. All DCI settings are defined in the XC2V40-4FGG256I UCF or XDC constraints file.
Can XC2V40-4FGG256I be configured via JTAG boundary scan?
Yes, XC2V40-4FGG256I supports IEEE 1532-compliant boundary-scan configuration through its dedicated Test Access Port (TAP), enabling in-system programming and verification without requiring dedicated configuration pins. The XC2V40-4FGG256I TAP implements BYPASS, PRELOAD, SAMPLE, IDCODE, USERCODE, EXTEST, INTEST, and HIGHZ instructions per DS031 Module 1. JTAG configuration is commonly used for prototyping, debugging, and field firmware updates.
Is bitstream encryption available on XC2V40-4FGG256I?
Yes, XC2V40-4FGG256I includes an on-chip Triple DES (3DES) decryptor for secure bitstream loading, as specified in DS031 Module 1. It supports one or two 168-bit key sets stored in non-volatile memory, enabling encrypted configuration from external PROM or flash. This feature protects intellectual property against reverse engineering and unauthorized cloning. Encryption is enabled during bitstream generation in Xilinx ISE using the "Bitstream Encryption" option; the XC2V40-4FGG256I enforces decryption before configuration commit.
