FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for GTY transceivers on the XCKU115-2FLVA1517I?
The XCKU115-2FLVA1517I supports GTY transceivers with a maximum data rate of 32.75 Gbps. This is validated per AMD UG578 v1.13 and applies to protocols including 100G Ethernet, CPRI, and JESD204C. Operation at this rate requires proper AC coupling, 100Ω differential impedance routing, and compliance with IBIS-AMI simulation guidelines.
Does the XCKU115-2FLVA1517I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, the XCKU115-2FLVA1517I fully supports partial reconfiguration as defined in AMD UG909 v2023.1. It enables dynamic logic module swapping without resetting the entire device, allowing runtime adaptation in radar waveform generation and protocol stack updates. Bitstream partitioning and frame-level access are hardware-supported.
What configuration modes does the XCKU115-2FLVA1517I support?
The XCKU115-2FLVA1517I supports Master BPI, Slave SPI, and Slave Serial configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up. BPI x32 mode achieves fastest configuration time (≤100 ms), while SPIx4 is preferred for secure, encrypted bitstream loading from serial flash.
Is AES-256 bitstream encryption available on the XCKU115-2FLVA1517I?
Yes, the XCKU115-2FLVA1517I includes hardware-accelerated AES-256 bitstream encryption and HMAC-SHA256 authentication. These features are enabled via AMD Vivado tools and require programming a unique device key into eFUSE. The encryption protects against unauthorized readback and cloning of the implemented design.
What is the thermal design power (TDP) of the XCKU115-2FLVA1517I?
The XCKU115-2FLVA1517I has a typical thermal design power (TDP) of 28 W under worst-case operating conditions, as specified in AMD DS892 v1.10. This value assumes full utilization of logic, DSP, and transceivers at junction temperature of 85°C. Active cooling and thermal interface material contact with the package lid are mandatory for sustained operation.
