AMD XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C

Overview

XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C from AMD is a high-performance Virtex-6 HXT FPGA featuring 384,960 logic cells, 24.5 Gbps transceivers, and -2 speed grade in a 1923-pin Flip-Chip BGA package; used in high-speed serial interface bridging and reconfigurable signal processing for radar and test equipment.

For engineers reviewing the XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key considerations include transceiver compliance (XAUI, PCIe Gen2), I/O voltage support (1.2–3.3 V), configuration mode options (Master SelectMAP, JTAG), and thermal design margin for sustained 24.5 Gbps operation.

Technical Context

The XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C implements a multi-die architecture with dedicated GTx transceivers, configurable logic blocks (CLBs), and block RAMs optimized for deterministic low-latency data paths. It supports protocol stacks including CPRI, OBSAI, and Serial RapidIO through programmable transceiver PCS layers.

Configuration occurs via internal SPI flash or external master processor using SelectMAP or JTAG interfaces; power sequencing requires strict adherence to VCCINT (1.0V), VCCAUX (2.5V), and VCCO (1.2–3.3V) ramp timing per UG372.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C is housed in a 1923-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FFG) package with 35 × 35 mm body size, 1.0 mm ball pitch, and thermal lid for enhanced heat dissipation in high-power configurations.

FAQ

What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C?

The XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C supports a maximum transceiver data rate of 24.5 Gbps per GTx channel. This rating is guaranteed under -2 speed grade conditions with proper reference clock jitter (<1 ps RMS) and power supply stability. The XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C achieves this rate using its dedicated GTx transceiver architecture, enabling direct 100GbE KR4 and OTU4 line-rate operation without external retimers or gearboxes.

Does XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C support partial reconfiguration?

Yes, the XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C supports partial reconfiguration through its hierarchical design flow and dedicated ICAP (Internal Configuration Access Port). This capability allows runtime swapping of functional modules-such as protocol engines or filter coefficients-without resetting the entire device. The XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C implements this using frame-based bitstream updates validated in UG702, enabling field-upgradable functionality in deployed radar and telecom systems.

What configuration modes are available for XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C?

The XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave Parallel, and JTAG configuration modes. Master SelectMAP enables autonomous boot from SPI flash with configurable data width (8/16/32-bit); Slave Parallel allows host-processor-controlled initialization; JTAG supports boundary-scan testing and in-system programming. All modes are electrically and logically verified per UG372, and the XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C requires correct M0–M2 pin strapping to select the active mode at power-on.

Is XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C compatible with PCIe Gen2 x8 endpoints?

Yes, the XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C integrates a hard PCIe Gen2 x8 endpoint block compliant with Base Specification 2.1. It delivers <100 ns transaction layer packet (TLP) latency and supports both root complex and endpoint roles. The XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C implements link training, power management states (L0s/L1), and error reporting without consuming fabric resources, making it suitable for high-throughput test equipment and embedded host interfaces.

What is the operating temperature range for XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C?

The XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +85°C ambient, denoted by the 'C' suffix in the part number. This range is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104 for thermal cycling and JESD22-A108 for high-temperature operating life. The XC6VHX380T-2FFG1923C requires thermal management per UG479, including heatsink attachment and airflow ≥200 LFM for sustained 24.5 Gbps transceiver operation within this temperature envelope.
