Product details
Overview
XC4VLX60-10FFG1148C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-4 LX family FPGA with 60,000 logic cells, 256 I/O pins, and a -10 speed grade (1.0 ns CLB delay). It features 284 embedded 18×18 multipliers, 2,128 Kbits of block RAM, and operates at 1.2 V core voltage. Used in high-performance digital signal processing and reconfigurable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC4VLX60-10FFG1148C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include logic density, I/O count, embedded multiplier count, block RAM capacity, and FFG1148 flip-chip BGA package compatibility.
Technical Context
The XC4VLX60-10FFG1148C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), distributed RAM, shift registers, and dedicated carry logic. It supports SelectIO standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, and differential signaling (LVDS, RSDS, BLVDS).
It integrates clock management tiles (CMTs) with dual DCMs per tile for phase shifting, frequency synthesis, and jitter reduction. Configuration is performed via Master Serial, Slave Serial, or JTAG modes using external PROM or processor-controlled interfaces.
