Product details
Overview
XCV100-5FG256C from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 108,904 system gates, 2,700 logic cells, and 180 user I/O pins in a 256-ball fine-pitch BGA package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (LUTs as 16-bit RAM/shift register/dual-port RAM, plus 40,960-bit block RAM), and supports 66-MHz PCI compliance for high-speed embedded control and interface bridging applications.
For engineers reviewing the XCV100-5FG256C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, CLB-level timing behavior, SelectIO™ standard compatibility, and obsolescence-aware supply guidance specific to the -5 speed grade and FG256 package.
Technical Context
The XCV100-5FG256C implements a hierarchical routing architecture with general-purpose routing matrix (GRM), local VersaBlock interconnect, and dedicated VersaRing I/O ring for pin-locking. Its CLBs contain two slices each with four 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19-input logic, and dual synchronous/asynchronous set/reset per flip-flop.
It supports eight I/O banks with independent VCCO and VREF assignment per bank; compatible output standards include LVTTL, PCI, SSTL3, HSTL Class I/III/IV, and GTL/GTL+, with 5 V tolerance on LVTTL, LVCMOS2, and PCI 5 V inputs. Configuration occurs via master serial, slave serial, SelectMAP™, or JTAG modes using SRAM-based bitstream loading.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based programmable logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCV100-6FG256C | Faster -6 speed grade (8.5 ns register-to-register delay vs. 10 ns); identical logic density, I/O count, and package | Suitable for designs requiring tighter timing closure at 200 MHz system clock or higher I/O toggle rates | Select when timing margin is insufficient with -5 grade; no PCB change needed |
| XCV150-5FG256C | Higher density (164,674 system gates, 3,888 logic cells); same FG256 package and -5 speed grade | Required for larger state machines or wider datapaths exceeding XCV100 capacity, with identical thermal and board footprint | Choose when logic utilization exceeds 90% in XCV100 implementation; pin-compatible upgrade path |
Compared with XCV100-5FG256C, the -6 variant improves maximum operating frequency without altering resource count or layout, while the XCV150-5 offers scalable logic capacity within the same mechanical and thermal envelope-both enable incremental design evolution without board redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XCV100-5FG256C?
XCV100-5FG256C supports synchronous system clock rates up to 200 MHz, including I/O paths. The -5 speed grade guarantees worst-case register-to-register delay of 10 ns and clock-to-out (Tco) of 10 ns, validated under commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C) and 2.5 V core supply. Actual achievable frequency depends on design complexity and place-and-route optimization.
Does XCV100-5FG256C support hot-swap operation in CompactPCI systems?
Yes, XCV100-5FG256C is explicitly designed for hot-swappable CompactPCI applications. Its I/O structure meets the electrical requirements for live insertion and removal, including controlled slew rates, drive strength limits, and robust ESD protection. This capability is documented in DS003-1 and confirmed for the FG256 package variant.
How many block RAMs does XCV100-5FG256C contain, and what configurations are supported?
XCV100-5FG256C contains 10 block SelectRAMs totaling 40,960 bits. Each block is a fully synchronous dual-ported 4096-bit RAM with independently configurable port widths (1–16 bits) and depths (256–4096). Supported aspect ratios include 1×4096, 2×2048, 4×1024, 8×512, and 16×256, enabling flexible bus-width conversion and FIFO implementation.
Can XCV100-5FG256C interface directly with 5 V logic devices?
XCV100-5FG256C supports 5 V-tolerant inputs for LVTTL, LVCMOS2, and PCI 5 V standards, allowing direct connection to 5 V outputs without level shifters. However, its outputs are not 5 V tolerant and must be driven at 3.3 V or 2.5 V levels. Input protection uses Zener-like clamping to ground, limiting input voltage to ~6.5 V.
Is XCV100-5FG256C still in active production, and what is its obsolescence status?
XCV100-5FG256C is marked as obsolete/under obsolescence per Xilinx DS003-1 (v4.0, March 2013). No new production is planned, and last-time-buy windows have closed. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy inventory with full traceability and provides lifecycle coordination support for ongoing production programs requiring this device.
