AMD XCV100-4PQ240I

Overview

XCV100-4PQ240I from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 108,904 system gates, 2,700 logic cells in a 20×30 CLB array, and 166 user I/O pins in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (including 40,960-bit block RAM and LUT-configurable RAM/shift registers), and supports 66-MHz PCI compliance for industrial embedded control and high-speed interface bridging.

For engineers reviewing the XCV100-4PQ240I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, DLL jitter specs, CLB timing parameters, and SelectIO™ standard compatibility - all confirmed for the PQ240 industrial-grade variant.

Technical Context

The XCV100-4PQ240I implements a hierarchical routing architecture with a General Routing Matrix (GRM), local VersaBlock interconnect, and peripheral VersaRing I/O routing - enabling pin-locking and PCB layout reuse across Virtex family migrations. Its CLBs contain four logic cells each, with dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19-input functions, and dual-port 4k-bit block RAMs.

Each IOB supports programmable I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, PCI 3.3 V, HSTL Class I/III/IV, and SSTL2/3, with banked VCCO (1.5 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V) and VREF (0.75–1.5 V) constraints. The device uses four DLLs for clock deskew and phase alignment, with global clock nets delivering ≤1.5 ns skew across the array.

Manufacturer

Xilinx, now part of AMD, is a pioneer in programmable logic technology, delivering FPGA, SoC, and adaptive compute acceleration platforms since 1984.

The Virtex family was designed for high-performance, high-density digital systems requiring ASIC-like performance with FPGA flexibility - targeting communications infrastructure, industrial automation, and aerospace applications where reconfigurability and deterministic timing are critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the XCV100-4PQ240I?

The XCV100-4PQ240I achieves a maximum system clock frequency of 200 MHz under worst-case timing conditions, including I/O paths. This is guaranteed by the -4 speed grade and validated using Xilinx's timing analysis tools with default place-and-route settings. The XCV100-4PQ240I delivers this performance across its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C) with proper 2.5 V core supply regulation and PCB layout adherence to Xilinx AN11 guidelines.

Does the XCV100-4PQ240I support hot-swap capability?

Yes, the XCV100-4PQ240I supports hot-swapping in Compact PCI systems per the Virtex family specification. This requires proper implementation of the PROGRAM_B, INIT_B, and CCLK signals with appropriate pull-up/down resistors and power sequencing as defined in DS003-1 Module 1. The XCV100-4PQ240I's I/O structure and configuration logic are designed to tolerate live insertion and removal without latch-up or damage when used with compliant backplane circuitry.

How many block RAMs does the XCV100-4PQ240I include?

The XCV100-4PQ240I includes ten 4,096-bit block SelectRAMs, totaling 40,960 bits of dedicated synchronous dual-port memory. Each block supports independent read/write widths (1–16 bits) and depths (256–4096), enabling flexible FIFO, buffer, and lookup table implementations. These resources are physically arranged in two columns along the vertical edges of the die and are accessible via dedicated routing to minimize latency - a key capability confirmed in DS003-2 Module 2 Table 3.

Can the XCV100-4PQ240I interface directly with 5 V TTL devices?

The XCV100-4PQ240I supports 5 V-tolerant inputs for LVTTL, LVCMOS2, and PCI 5 V standards, but its outputs are not 5 V tolerant. Inputs can accept up to 5.5 V with appropriate clamping, while outputs must be driven at VCCO = 3.3 V for compatibility. For bidirectional 5 V interfacing, external level-shifting circuitry is required. This behavior is explicitly documented in DS003-2 Module 2 Table 1 and Figure 2 IOB schematic.

Is the XCV100-4PQ240I still in production?

No, the XCV100-4PQ240I is obsolete per Xilinx Notice XCN10016 and DS003-1 v4.0 (March 2013). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains a controlled inventory of tested, traceable units sourced from authorized legacy channels. Full documentation, pinout tables (DS003-4), and configuration guidelines remain available to support ongoing maintenance and repair of deployed systems relying on the XCV100-4PQ240I.
