Yes, XC7K480T-L2FFG901I integrates a hardened PCIe Gen3 x8 endpoint block compliant with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 3.0. This eliminates the need for soft-core implementation, reduces latency by ~35 ns versus RTL-based solutions, and ensures electrical compliance per CEM v3.0. The XC7K480T-L2FFG901I supports both root port and endpoint modes via configuration registers.
What is the operating temperature range specified for XC7K480T-L2FFG901I?
XC7K480T-L2FFG901I is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +100°C (case temperature), as defined in AMD's DC and Switching Characteristics document UG474 (v1.16). This range applies to the -2L speed grade and is verified under steady-state thermal conditions with recommended heatsink and airflow per Xilinx AR# 61145. The XC7K480T-L2FFG901I maintains timing closure across this full range.
How many block RAM resources does XC7K480T-L2FFG901I provide?
XC7K480T-L2FFG901I provides 32.1 Mb of total block RAM, composed of 1,536 BRAM primitives each configurable as 36 Kb dual-port RAM or 18 Kb single-port RAM. This capacity supports large buffering requirements such as 4K60 YUV422 frame stores or multi-channel digital down-converter memories. The XC7K480T-L2FFG901I allocates BRAM across 24 columns for optimal placement during place-and-route.
Is partial reconfiguration supported on XC7K480T-L2FFG901I?
Yes, XC7K480T-L2FFG901I fully supports partial reconfiguration using Vivado Design Suite tools. This allows dynamic swapping of logic modules-such as filter banks or protocol engines-without resetting the entire device or halting system operation. The XC7K480T-L2FFG901I implements dedicated configuration logic and frame-based update mechanisms validated in XAPP1185 and UG909.
