Product details
Overview
XC4VLX40-11FFG1148C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-4 LX family FPGA with 41,472 logic cells, 2.5 Gbps serial I/O capability, and 24 embedded 18×18 multipliers. It features SelectIO™ technology supporting LVDS, SSTL, HSTL, and GTL standards, and is used in high-speed communication line cards and reconfigurable computing platforms.
For engineers reviewing the XC4VLX40-11FFG1148C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O voltage flexibility, embedded memory depth, multiplier count, and thermal performance in compact BGA packages.
Technical Context
The XC4VLX40-11FFG1148C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), block RAM (BRAM), and dedicated DSP slices. It supports partial reconfiguration and includes integrated DCMs for clock synthesis and phase alignment across multiple domains.
Its 1148-pin FCBGA package enables high-density routing with 640 user I/Os, and the -11 speed grade guarantees 1.1 ns CLB propagation delay and 500 MHz system clock operation under specified thermal conditions.
