FAQ

What is the maximum supported I/O standard voltage for XC6VLX75T-2FF484I?

The XC6VLX75T-2FF484I supports I/O voltages from 1.2 V to 3.3 V per bank, with each of its 16 I/O banks independently configurable. This allows simultaneous interfacing with DDR3 memory (1.5 V), CMOS image sensors (2.5 V or 3.3 V), and LVDS serializers (2.5 V). The VCCO supply must match the selected standard's required voltage level.

Does XC6VLX75T-2FF484I include hard IP for PCI Express?

Yes, XC6VLX75T-2FF484I integrates a dedicated PCIe Gen2 endpoint hard IP block compliant with PCI Express Base Specification v2.0. It supports x1, x2, x4, and x8 link widths, provides AXI4-Lite register access, and handles MSI/MSI-X interrupt generation without consuming logic resources. This hard IP is verified for use in industrial and defense applications.

What clocking resources are available in XC6VLX75T-2FF484I?

XC6VLX75T-2FF484I includes two MMCMs and one PLL per clock region, supporting up to six output clocks per MMCM with programmable phase shift, duty-cycle correction, and spread-spectrum modulation. Input clock frequencies range from 10 MHz to 625 MHz, and outputs can be configured for jitter-sensitive applications such as high-speed ADC/DAC interfaces.

Can XC6VLX75T-2FF484I be configured via JTAG only?

No, XC6VLX75T-2FF484I supports multiple configuration modes including JTAG, Master SPI (x1/x2/x4), Slave SPI, and BPI. While JTAG is used for debugging and programming during development, production systems typically use quad-SPI mode for faster bitstream loading from serial flash. Configuration is initiated automatically on power-up when using non-JTAG modes.

What is the thermal design power (TDP) range for XC6VLX75T-2FF484I under typical operation?

XC6VLX75T-2FF484I has a typical thermal design power of 7.5 W to 12.3 W depending on resource utilization and I/O activity. At full logic utilization with all transceivers active and 3.3 V I/Os driven, peak power reaches 12.3 W. Thermal management must accommodate a maximum junction temperature of 100°C, requiring a board-level thermal solution with ≥2.5°C/W thermal resistance.
