FAQ
What is the maximum supported DDR3 memory interface speed for XC7K160T-1FB484I?
The XC7K160T-1FB484I supports DDR3 SDRAM interfaces up to 800 MHz data rate (1600 MT/s), implemented using dedicated memory interface logic and calibrated I/O buffers. This capability is validated in Xilinx UG475 and applies directly to the XC7K160T-1FB484I device under industrial temperature conditions with proper board layout and termination.
Does XC7K160T-1FB484I include hardened PCIe Gen2 endpoint logic?
No, the XC7K160T-1FB484I does not integrate hardened PCIe Gen2 endpoint blocks. It relies on Xilinx's LogiCORE IP PCIe v2.1 endpoint core implemented in programmable logic, consuming ~12,000 LUTs and requiring GT transceivers. This implementation is fully supported for x1/x2/x4 configurations in the XC7K160T-1FB484I.
What configuration modes are supported by XC7K160T-1FB484I?
The XC7K160T-1FB484I supports three primary configuration modes: Master SPI (from external flash), Slave SelectMAP (parallel bus from processor), and JTAG (boundary-scan programming). Configuration startup time is 45 ms from SPI flash, and all modes are documented in Xilinx UG470 for the XC7K160T-1FB484I.
Is XC7K160T-1FB484I qualified for automotive applications?
The XC7K160T-1FB484I is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C junction) but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It lacks automotive-specific screening, failure-in-time (FIT) reporting, and PPAP documentation. For automotive use, designers must perform full qualification per ISO 26262 ASIL-B/C requirements independently.
What is the purpose of the INIT_B pin on XC7K160T-1FB484I?
The INIT_B pin on XC7K160T-1FB484I is an open-drain output that signals configuration status: driven low during configuration and released high upon successful completion. If configuration fails (e.g., CRC error), INIT_B remains low. This signal is essential for system-level boot sequencing and fault detection in the XC7K160T-1FB484I.
