Product details
Overview
XC4VFX100-11FF1517C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a high-performance Virtex-4 FPGA featuring 101,952 logic cells, 640 embedded 18×18 multipliers, and integrated PowerPC 405 RISC processors. It supports DDR2 memory interfaces up to 400 MHz and includes 12 RocketIO™ GTP transceivers operating at 1.0–3.75 Gb/s. It is used in high-speed communication line cards and reconfigurable computing platforms.
For engineers reviewing the XC4VFX100-11FF1517C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include I/O bank voltage support (1.2 V/1.5 V/1.8 V/2.5 V), transceiver compliance with SONET/SDH and PCIe 1.0, and configuration via Master SelectMAP or JTAG.
Technical Context
The XC4VFX100-11FF1517C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), block RAM (12,312 kbits), and dedicated DSP slices. Its dual-processor subsystem integrates two PowerPC 405 cores with on-chip cache and PLB bus interface for embedded control.
RocketIO transceivers support protocol-specific encoding (8B/10B), clock data recovery (CDR), and programmable pre-emphasis and equalization. The device uses 90 nm copper process technology and operates over commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-end reconfigurable logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC4VLX100-11FF1517C | Lacks PowerPC cores and RocketIO transceivers; higher logic density (101,952 CLBs) but no serial I/O or embedded processor | Suitable for compute-intensive logic-only tasks without protocol-aware serial I/O or soft/hard CPU needs | Select when transceiver and embedded processor functionality are unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized |
| XC5VLX110T-1FF1136C | Virtex-5 architecture; 110k logic cells, 640 DSP48E slices, 8 RocketIO GTX transceivers (3.75–6.5 Gb/s), no PowerPC cores | Better suited for next-generation designs requiring higher transceiver bandwidth and lower static power, but lacks dual-processor subsystem | Choose for migration paths needing higher serial bandwidth and improved DSP efficiency, accepting loss of hard CPU capability |
Compared with XC4VFX100-11FF1517C, the XC4VLX100 offers pure logic capacity at lower cost but no embedded processing or high-speed serial I/O, while the XC5VLX110T delivers superior transceiver performance and DSP density but removes the dual PowerPC 405 subsystem-making it unsuitable for tightly coupled hardware-software co-design.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for XC4VFX100-11FF1517C?
The XC4VFX100-11FF1517C is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +85°C ambient. This range applies to the FF1517 package variant and assumes proper PCB thermal design and airflow per Xilinx UG070 documentation. The device does not support industrial or extended temperature grades in this specific speed grade and packaging.
Does XC4VFX100-11FF1517C support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, the XC4VFX100-11FF1517C supports partial reconfiguration through its ICAP (Internal Configuration Access Port) and frame-based bitstream loading mechanism. This capability allows runtime modification of designated logic regions without disrupting active functions elsewhere in the XC4VFX100-11FF1517C device.
What configuration modes are supported by XC4VFX100-11FF1517C?
The XC4VFX100-11FF1517C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, Serial, and JTAG configuration modes. These are selected using M0–M2 pins at power-up. Master SelectMAP enables direct loading from external flash memory, while JTAG is used for debugging and in-system programming of the XC4VFX100-11FF1517C.
How many RocketIO transceivers does XC4VFX100-11FF1517C include?
The XC4VFX100-11FF1517C includes 12 RocketIO GTP transceivers, each capable of 1.0–3.75 Gb/s operation. These transceivers comply with SONET OC-48, PCI Express 1.0, and Gigabit Ethernet standards and are distributed across four quadrants of the XC4VFX100-11FF1517C die.
Is XC4VFX100-11FF1517C pin-compatible with other Virtex-4 FPGAs?
No, XC4VFX100-11FF1517C is not pin-compatible with other Virtex-4 devices-even within the same FFG1517 package-due to differing I/O bank assignments, transceiver placement, and configuration pin locations. Pin compatibility must be verified per specific device and speed grade using Xilinx's pinout files for the XC4VFX100-11FF1517C.
