Product details
Overview
XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I from AMD is a high-performance Kintex UltraScale FPGA featuring 1,174,000 logic cells, 6,935 DSP slices, and 72.5 Mb of block RAM. It supports PCIe Gen3 x16, DDR4-2400 memory interfaces, and operates across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C) for use in radar signal processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O voltage support (1.2 V/1.35 V/1.8 V), transceiver line rates up to 16.3 Gb/s, and configuration via dual BPI or SPIx4.
Technical Context
The XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I implements a heterogeneous architecture with programmable logic fabric, hardened IP blocks (PCIe Gen3, 10/25G Ethernet MAC), and multi-rate transceivers. It integrates 24 GTY transceivers supporting protocols including CPRI, JESD204B/C, and 10GBASE-R.
Configuration is performed through dedicated configuration pins (INIT_B, PROGRAM_B, CCLK, etc.) and supports fallback mechanisms. Power delivery requires separate VCCINT (0.85 V), VCCAUX (1.8 V), and VCCO rails per I/O bank, with thermal management enabled by on-die temperature sensors.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-end FPGA applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver line rate for XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I?
The XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I supports a maximum transceiver line rate of 16.3 Gb/s using its GTY transceivers. This enables compliance with JESD204C and CPRI v7.0 standards. The rate is achievable across all 24 GTY channels under industrial temperature conditions when powered with specified VCCINT and VCCAUX rails.
Does XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I supports partial reconfiguration through Vivado Design Suite tools. This capability allows runtime swapping of logical partitions - such as adaptive filter banks or modulation schemes - without resetting the entire device or disrupting active I/O channels.
What configuration modes are supported by XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I?
XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I supports master SPIx4, slave SPI, and master BPI configuration modes. It also supports fallback configuration from dual-flash devices. Configuration is initiated via PROGRAM_B and monitored using INIT_B and DONE signals, all compatible with industrial-grade flash memory components.
Is XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I pin-compatible with other Kintex UltraScale devices?
No, XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I is not pin-compatible with other Kintex UltraScale FPGAs due to unique FLVA1517 package ball map and bank-specific I/O voltage assignments. Migration requires PCB redesign even within the same family, especially for transceiver and clock-capable pin placement.
What is the operating voltage for the core logic supply of XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I?
The core logic supply (VCCINT) for XCKU115-L1FLVA1517I is 0.85 V ±3%. This rail powers the programmable logic fabric, interconnect, and CLB resources. Stable regulation within this tolerance is required for reliable operation across the full –40°C to +100°C industrial temperature range.
