XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I requires no external PHY and supports both link training and power management states.
What configuration modes are supported by XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I?
XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up. All modes support bitstream encryption and HMAC authentication. XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I does not support passive parallel or BPI configuration.
Is XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I qualified for automotive applications?
No, XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I is rated for industrial temperature (-40°C to +100°C) but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It lacks automotive-specific reliability testing, failure-in-time (FIT) reporting, and PPAP documentation. XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I is intended for industrial, aerospace, and communications equipment-not automotive ECUs or ADAS control units.
Can XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I perform partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I supports dynamic partial reconfiguration (PR) through its ICAP interface and dedicated PR controller logic. Verified designs demonstrate runtime swapping of functional modules such as filter banks or protocol stacks without disrupting active logic. XC6VLX240T-L1FFG1156I requires Vivado Design Suite 2018.3 or later for PR implementation flow.
