Product details
Overview
XC4VLX100-11FF1513I from AMD is a high-density Virtex-4 LX family FPGA featuring 97,280 logic cells, 6,144 Kbits of block RAM, and support for DDR2 memory interfaces up to 400 MHz. It integrates 320 DSP48 slices, operates at -11 speed grade (1.1 ns CLB delay), and is packaged in a 1513-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FFG1513) with I/O voltage support of 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. It targets high-performance digital signal processing in telecom infrastructure equipment.
For engineers reviewing the XC4VLX100-11FF1513I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include logic density, embedded memory capacity, DSP slice count, I/O voltage flexibility, and thermal performance in compact form factor designs.
Technical Context
The XC4VLX100-11FF1513I implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), distributed RAM, and dedicated carry chains. It supports SelectIO technology with programmable slew rate, drive strength, and on-die termination across all I/O banks.
This device includes integrated PCI Express™ Endpoint Block (v1.0a), RocketIO™ multi-gigabit transceivers operating up to 3.125 Gbps, and a PowerPC™ 405 hard processor core option in other members of the Virtex-4 family - though the XC4VLX100-11FF1513I variant does not include the PowerPC core.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XC4VLX100-11FF1513I?
The XC4VLX100-11FF1513I has a maximum allowable junction temperature of 100°C under continuous operation, as specified in the Virtex-4 DC and Switching Characteristics datasheet (DS112). Thermal design must ensure adequate heat dissipation via PCB copper pour, thermal vias, and optional heatsink attachment to maintain reliability over lifetime.
Does XC4VLX100-11FF1513I support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC4VLX100-11FF1513I fully supports IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan testing through dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. The device implements a 4-bit instruction register and supports SAMPLE/PRELOAD, EXTEST, and INTEST instructions for board-level interconnect verification and in-system programming.
Can XC4VLX100-11FF1513I be configured using Master Serial mode?
Yes, XC4VLX100-11FF1513I supports Master Serial configuration mode using an external PROM (e.g., XCFxx series) connected to the dedicated configuration interface pins. In this mode, the FPGA drives the configuration clock (CCLK) and reads the bitstream serially from the PROM upon power-up or PROGRAM_B assertion.
What configuration memory technology does XC4VLX100-11FF1513I use?
XC4VLX100-11FF1513I uses SRAM-based configuration memory, meaning its logic and routing configuration is volatile and must be reloaded after each power cycle. Configuration is typically performed via external PROM, processor-controlled slave parallel/serial mode, or JTAG download using iMPACT or Vivado Hardware Manager.
Is XC4VLX100-11FF1513I RoHS compliant?
Yes, XC4VLX100-11FF1513I is RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The FFG1513 package uses matte tin finish on solder balls and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) handling guidelines.
