AMD XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I

Overview

XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I from AMD is a high-performance 28 nm Virtex-7 FPGA with 693,120 logic cells, 3,648 DSP slices, and 56.9 Mb of block RAM. It features 1761-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FFG) packaging, supports transceivers up to 13.1 Gb/s, and is used in high-end radar signal processing and 100G optical transport line cards.

For engineers reviewing the XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver speed grade (-2), thermal performance in FFG1761 package, I/O bank voltage flexibility, and configuration interface compatibility with SPI/BPI.

Technical Context

The XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I implements a 28 nm HKMG process-based architecture with integrated multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs), configurable logic blocks (CLBs), and hardened IP including PCIe Gen3 x8, 10/25/100G Ethernet MAC, and AXI interconnect. It supports SelectIO standards from 1.2 V to 3.3 V across 32 I/O banks.

Configuration is performed via Master SPI, Slave Parallel, or JTAG, with dual-boot capability and AES-256 bitstream encryption. The -2 speed grade guarantees timing closure at 13.1 Gb/s transceiver operation and 600 MHz system clocking in worst-case industrial temperature conditions (-40°C to +100°C).

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

What is the maximum transceiver line rate supported by XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I?

The XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I supports a maximum transceiver line rate of 13.1 Gb/s per GTHE2 channel. This is guaranteed under the -2 speed grade at industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and enables protocols including 100G KR4, CAUI-4, and CPRI Option 10. The transceiver architecture includes built-in clock data recovery (CDR) and adaptive equalization.

Does XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I support partial reconfiguration?

Yes, XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I fully supports partial reconfiguration through Vivado Design Suite. This allows dynamic swapping of logic modules during runtime-critical for adaptive radar waveform changes or protocol stack updates in optical transport without full device reset. Configuration security and timing isolation between static and reconfigurable regions are hardware-enforced.

What configuration modes are available for XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I?

XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I supports Master SPI, Slave Parallel, JTAG, and BPI configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up. Dual-boot capability enables fallback to a secondary bitstream stored in external flash, and AES-256 encryption secures bitstream loading against unauthorized access.

What is the core voltage requirement for XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I?

XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I requires a tightly regulated 1.0 V ±3% supply on VCCINT for the FPGA fabric and CLBs. Deviation beyond this tolerance risks timing violations or configuration failure. AMD recommends using dedicated low-noise DC/DC converters with <10 mV ripple and proper decoupling near the FFG1761 package corners.

Is XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I pin-compatible with other Virtex-7 FFG1761 devices?

Yes, XC7VX690T-2FFG1761I shares identical pinout and package dimensions with other Virtex-7 FPGAs in the FFG1761 footprint, including XC7VX485T and XC7VX550T. However, I/O bank assignments, transceiver locations, and configuration pin behavior remain consistent only within the same speed grade and temperature grade, requiring verification via AMD's pin planning tools.
