FAQ

What is the maximum supported transceiver line rate for XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I?

The XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I integrates GTP transceivers with a maximum line rate of 3.75 Gb/s. This supports protocols including PCIe Gen2 (5.0 GT/s encoded), SRIO Gen2 (6.25 GT/s encoded), and JESD204B subclass 0/1. The -1 speed grade ensures reliable operation at this rate under industrial temperature and voltage extremes.

Does XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I support partial reconfiguration?

Yes, XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I supports hardware-accelerated partial reconfiguration through Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.7. This enables dynamic replacement of logic modules without resetting the entire device - essential for adaptive radar waveform updates and runtime protocol switching in avionics systems.

What I/O standards are supported by XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I?

XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I supports LVDS-2.5V, SSTL-18, HSTL-I, LVCMOS (1.2V–3.3V), and differential standards including BLVDS and RSDS. Each of its 14 I/O banks operates independently with selectable VCCO, allowing mixed-voltage interfaces to coexist on a single device.

What is the operating temperature range for XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I?

The XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I is rated for industrial temperature operation with a junction temperature range of –40°C to +100°C. This specification is validated per Xilinx DS152 and applies to all speed grades, including the -1 grade used in this variant.

Is XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I compatible with Xilinx ISE or Vivado tools?

XC6VLX130T-L1FF784I is supported exclusively by Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.7 and earlier versions. It is not supported in Vivado - which targets 7-series and newer architectures. Migration to Vivado requires architectural redesign using XC7VX485T or later families.
