Product details
Overview
XC4VLX100-11FFG1513C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-4 LX family FPGA featuring 98,304 logic cells, 6.4 Mb of block RAM, and 320 DSP48 slices. It uses a 90 nm copper process, supports differential I/O standards including LVDS and SSTL, and operates at -11 speed grade with commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C). It is deployed in high-bandwidth digital signal processing systems such as radar baseband processors.
For engineers reviewing the XC4VLX100-11FFG1513C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include I/O count (1048 user I/Os), package type (FFG1513 flip-chip BGA), configuration interface (SelectMAP, JTAG, serial PROM), and supported transceiver protocols (RocketIO GTP).
Technical Context
The XC4VLX100-11FFG1513C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated DSP48 slices for multiply-accumulate operations, and block RAM organized in 18-kb dual-port modules. It integrates RocketIO GTP transceivers capable of 2.5–3.75 Gbps line rates and supports PCI Express x4 Gen1 endpoints via hard IP cores.
Configuration is performed via Master SelectMAP mode using external parallel PROM or through JTAG boundary-scan. The device includes internal DCI (Digitally Controlled Impedance) for on-die termination and supports multi-voltage I/O banks (1.2 V to 3.3 V) with independent bank voltage control.
