FAQ

What is the maximum supported transceiver line rate for XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I?

The XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I supports transceiver line rates from 600 Mb/s up to 6.6 Gb/s per lane. This range covers PCIe Gen2 x8 endpoints, SRIO Gen2, and CPRI protocols. Operation at 6.6 Gb/s requires proper PCB layout with controlled impedance and matched trace lengths, as specified in UG371.

Does XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I support partial reconfiguration?

Yes, XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I supports partial reconfiguration through Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.7 tools and associated bitstream generation flow. This capability allows dynamic replacement of logic modules-such as changing filter coefficients or modulation schemes-without resetting the entire FPGA fabric.

What I/O standards are supported by XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I banks?

XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I supports LVDS, SSTL-18, SSTL-2, HSTL-I, HSTL-II, and differential signaling standards across its 16 I/O banks. Each bank's VCCO voltage must match the selected standard-e.g., 1.8 V for SSTL-18, 1.5 V for HSTL-I-and is configured independently per bank.

What is the core voltage requirement for XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I?

The XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I requires a nominal 1.2 V core supply with ±3% tolerance. This voltage powers the FPGA fabric, CLBs, and interconnect. Deviation beyond this range may cause timing violations or configuration loss, especially under high-temperature or high-switching-activity conditions.

Is XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I qualified for extended temperature operation?

Yes, the "I" suffix in XC6VLX75T-1FFG484I denotes Industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +100°C junction). This qualification applies to the full device-including transceivers, clock management, and I/O banks-making it suitable for deployed radar and avionics environments without forced cooling.
