These blocks support 4×25G KR4 and 2×50G KP4 configurations, include CRC generation/checking, and operate without consuming programmable logic resources. The XCKU3P-1FFVD900I uses these MACs directly with its GTYP transceivers for line-rate processing.
What configuration modes does XCKU3P-1FFVD900I support?
The XCKU3P-1FFVD900I supports master SPI, slave SPI, BPI, and JTAG configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by MIO strap pins during power-up, with quad-SPI being the default for single-image boot. The XCKU3P-1FFVD900I also supports dual-image fallback using dedicated configuration memory partitioning.
Is XCKU3P-1FFVD900I qualified for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the XCKU3P-1FFVD900I is rated for -40°C to +100°C case temperature operation and is screened to meet industrial-grade reliability standards. This qualification applies specifically to the FFVD900 package variant and is documented in AMD's Kintex UltraScale+ DC and AC characteristics datasheet. The XCKU3P-1FFVD900I maintains full timing compliance across this range.
What security features are implemented in XCKU3P-1FFVD900I?
The XCKU3P-1FFVD900I provides AES-256 bitstream encryption, HMAC-based authentication, and secure boot with immutable root-of-trust. These features are implemented in dedicated on-die hardware blocks and require no user logic resources. The XCKU3P-1FFVD900I enforces secure boot before releasing configuration logic, preventing unauthorized firmware execution.
