FAQ

What is the maximum transceiver line rate supported by XC7VX690T-2FF1158I?

The XC7VX690T-2FF1158I supports GTX transceivers with a maximum line rate of 13.1 Gb/s. This enables compliance with 10G Ethernet, CPRI Option 3, and JESD204B subclass 1 standards. Each of the 24 GTX transceivers operates independently within this range, and the -2 speed grade ensures timing closure at full rate under industrial temperature conditions.

Does XC7VX690T-2FF1158I include hardened PCIe Gen3 IP?

Yes, XC7VX690T-2FF1158I integrates a hardened PCIe Gen3 x8 endpoint/root complex block. This eliminates the need for soft IP synthesis, reduces latency by up to 40% versus configurable implementations, and guarantees compliance with PCIe Base Spec 3.0. Configuration is managed through dedicated AXI4-Lite registers accessible from the processing system or external host.

What I/O standards are supported by XC7VX690T-2FF1158I banks?

XC7VX690T-2FF1158I supports LVDS, SSTL-18/25, HSTL-I/II, MIPI D-PHY, and differential signaling standards across its 36 I/O banks. Each bank is independently configurable for voltage (1.2 V–3.3 V), drive strength, and termination. This enables direct connection to DDR3/4 memory, high-speed ADCs/DACs, and sensor interfaces without level-shifting components.

Is XC7VX690T-2FF1158I qualified for industrial temperature operation?

Yes, XC7VX690T-2FF1158I is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C). It undergoes extended burn-in and characterization across this range, with guaranteed timing closure and transceiver jitter performance meeting IEEE 802.3 specifications at full speed grade. This qualification supports deployment in outdoor base stations, airborne radar enclosures, and engine-mounted control units.

Can XC7VX690T-2FF1158I perform partial reconfiguration?

Yes, XC7VX690T-2FF1158I fully supports partial reconfiguration using Vivado Design Suite. Dynamic module swapping allows runtime updates of algorithm blocks-such as switching between FMCW and pulsed radar waveforms-without resetting the entire device. The configuration interface maintains uninterrupted I/O and transceiver operation during reconfiguration of designated logic regions.
