FAQ

What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C?

The XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C supports transceiver data rates up to 12.8 Gb/s per lane. This enables compliance with CPRI v6.0, SATA 3.0, and SRIO Gen2 protocols. The transceivers include built-in clock correction and elastic buffers to maintain data integrity across variable link conditions. All 16 transceiver quads on XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C are rated for this maximum speed at the -1 speed grade.

Does XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C include hard IP for PCI Express?

Yes, XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C integrates a hardened PCI Express Gen2 x8 endpoint block. It supports both root port and endpoint configurations with automatic link training and power management. The hard IP reduces logic resource usage by ~12,000 LUTs compared to soft-core implementations and guarantees timing closure for Gen2 speeds. This feature is fully functional in the -1 speed grade of XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C.

What I/O standards are supported by XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C?

XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C supports 21 I/O standards including LVDS, BLVDS, RSDS, mini-LVDS, LVPECL, SSTL-18/25, HSTL-I/II, and TMDS. Each of its 72 I/O banks can be independently configured for voltage levels from 1.2 V to 3.3 V. This allows XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C to interface directly with DDR3 memory, high-speed ADCs/DACs, and video serializers without level-shifting components.

What is the logic cell count of XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C?

XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C contains 195,120 logic cells, composed of 6-input LUTs with integrated flip-flops. This capacity supports complex digital signal processing pipelines, multi-gigabit protocol stacks, and real-time control algorithms. The logic cell count is verified in the official Virtex-6 datasheet DS152 (v3.2) and applies specifically to the XC6VLX195T-1FFG1156C variant at -1 speed grade.
