Product details
Overview
XC4VLX100-11FF1148C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-4 LX family FPGA featuring 97,280 logic cells, 6,144 Kbits of block RAM, and 240 DSP48 slices. It uses a 90 nm copper process, supports LVDS and SSTL I/O standards, and operates at -11 speed grade with commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C). It is deployed in high-performance digital signal processing and reconfigurable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC4VLX100-11FF1148C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include logic density, embedded memory capacity, DSP slice count, I/O voltage support, and thermal performance under sustained clocking.
Technical Context
The XC4VLX100-11FF1148C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated carry chains, and distributed RAM. It integrates SelectIO technology supporting 1.2 V to 3.3 V I/O banks with programmable slew rate and drive strength.
It includes 24 RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers operating up to 3.125 Gbps, and supports PCI Express x4 endpoint functionality via dedicated hard IP blocks. Configuration is performed through Master SelectMAP or JTAG interfaces using external PROM or processor-controlled loading.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported I/O standard voltage for XC4VLX100-11FF1148C?
XC4VLX100-11FF1148C supports I/O voltages from 1.2 V to 3.3 V per bank, with independent configuration for each of its 24 I/O banks. This allows mixed-voltage interfacing-for example, connecting 1.8 V DDR2 memory and 3.3 V legacy peripherals simultaneously-without level-shifting components. The VCCO supply must match the selected standard's nominal voltage within tolerance.
Does XC4VLX100-11FF1148C include built-in PCI Express support?
Yes, XC4VLX100-11FF1148C integrates hard-wired PCI Express x4 endpoint logic compliant with PCIe Base 1.0a. This dedicated block handles link training, transaction layer packet handling, and data scrambling without consuming LUTs or routing resources. It eliminates the need for external PCIe bridge ICs and simplifies compliance testing for endpoint devices.
What configuration modes does XC4VLX100-11FF1148C support?
XC4VLX100-11FF1148C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration modes. Master SelectMAP enables autonomous boot from external PROM; JTAG is used for debugging and in-system programming. All modes are verified in the Virtex-4 Configuration User Guide UG071 and require correct INIT_B and DONE pin sequencing.
Can XC4VLX100-11FF1148C operate in extended temperature ranges?
No, XC4VLX100-11FF1148C is rated only for commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C). Industrial (-40°C to 100°C) and military-grade variants exist under different speed-grade suffixes (e.g., -11FF1148I), but XC4VLX100-11FF1148C specifically carries the 'C' suffix denoting commercial qualification. Thermal derating is not supported beyond this range.
How many RocketIO transceivers are implemented in XC4VLX100-11FF1148C?
XC4VLX100-11FF1148C contains 24 RocketIO transceivers, each capable of serial data rates up to 3.125 Gbps. These are distributed across four quads, supporting protocols including SATA, Serial RapidIO, and custom 8B/10B encoded links. Transceiver power consumption is managed independently and can be disabled per channel to reduce dynamic power.
