FAQ

What is the maximum supported DDR3 memory interface speed for XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C?

The XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C supports DDR3 SDRAM interfaces up to 800 MHz data rate (400 MHz clock frequency) using its integrated memory controller and I/O banks configured for SSTL15. This capability is validated in Xilinx UG388 and applies specifically to the -2 speed grade under industrial temperature conditions.

Does XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C include hard IP for PCI Express?

Yes, XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C integrates hard PCIe Gen2 endpoint blocks supporting x1, x2, and x4 lane configurations. These blocks are implemented in dedicated silicon, not soft logic, and require no LUT resources. Configuration and link training are handled autonomously per Xilinx UG371.

What is the core voltage requirement for XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C?

XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C requires a nominal core supply voltage of 1.0 V with tolerance of ±3%, delivered via the VCCINT pins. This voltage must be tightly regulated and filtered per Xilinx DS152 recommendations to maintain timing integrity and avoid configuration errors.

How many GTP transceivers does XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C provide?

XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C provides 24 GTP transceivers, each capable of operation from 100 Mb/s to 6.6 Gb/s. These transceivers support protocols including PCIe Gen2, SATA II/III, and Serial RapidIO, and are distributed across four quads on the die.

Is partial reconfiguration supported on XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C?

Yes, XC6VLX130T-2FFG1156C supports partial reconfiguration through its ICAP interface and frame-based bitstream loading mechanism. This feature allows dynamic replacement of logic modules without resetting the entire device or halting system operation, as documented in Xilinx UG702.
