FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C?
The XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C is rated for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to +85 °C case temperature). This specification applies to the -C speed grade and is validated per Xilinx DS112 v2.5. Thermal derating is required above 70 °C ambient when operating at maximum I/O toggle rates and logic utilization. The XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C does not support industrial or extended temperature grades.
Does XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan for interconnect testing and in-system programming. The TAP controller is accessible via TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins, and supports IDCODE, BYPASS, SAMPLE/PRELOAD, and EXTEST instructions. Boundary-scan capability is implemented in silicon and documented in Xilinx UG071.
How many RocketIO transceivers are available on XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C?
The XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C integrates 16 RocketIO GTP transceivers, each capable of 625 Mbps to 3.125 Gbps operation. These support protocols including PCI Express 1.0, Serial RapidIO 1.x, and 1000BASE-X. All 16 transceivers are fully functional and electrically characterized per Xilinx DS116 v2.2.
Can XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C be configured using SPI flash memory?
No, XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C does not support native SPI flash configuration. It requires parallel PROM (e.g., XCFxxP series) or microprocessor-controlled SelectMAP mode. Configuration via SPI flash would require an external bridge controller or FPGA-initiated SPI master logic - a method not supported by the XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C's dedicated configuration interface.
What is the maximum DDR2 memory interface speed supported by XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C?
The XC4VFX60-11FFG1152C supports DDR2 SDRAM interfaces up to 400 MHz data rate (200 MHz clock frequency) using dedicated DQS logic and phase-matched routing constraints. This capability is verified with Micron MT47H64M8HQ-37E and Samsung K4T51163QG-BCE6 components per Xilinx UG070.
