Product details
Overview
XC4VLX25-12FFG676C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-4 LX family FPGA featuring 24,192 logic cells, 128 DSP48 slices, and 1,008 Kbits of block RAM. It operates at -12 speed grade (1.25 GHz internal clock), uses 1.2 V core voltage, and is packaged in a 676-pin Fine-Pitch Flip-Chip BGA (FFG676). It targets high-performance digital signal processing in wired communications infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the XC4VLX25-12FFG676C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include logic density, DSP slice count, I/O voltage support (1.2/1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V), differential signaling capability (LVDS, RSDS), and thermal performance in compact base station modules.
Technical Context
The XC4VLX25-12FFG676C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated DSP48 slices for multiply-accumulate operations, and SelectIO technology supporting multi-standard I/O. It integrates hard-wired PCI-X 133 MHz interface logic and supports partial reconfiguration.
It features 228 user I/Os across 12 banks, each configurable for single-ended or differential standards. The device includes on-chip clock management using Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) with phase-matching, frequency synthesis, and duty-cycle correction capabilities.
