AMD XCV100-5PQ240C

Overview

XCV100-5PQ240C 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 supports 66-MHz PCI compliance, hot-swappable Compact PCI operation, and features four delay-locked loops (DLLs) for advanced clock control - deployed in high-speed industrial control interfaces requiring deterministic timing and reconfigurable logic.

For engineers reviewing the XCV100-5PQ240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, SelectIO™ standard support, block RAM configuration options, and speed-grade–specific timing behavior for legacy Virtex-family integration and obsolescence-aware redesign.

Technical Context

The XCV100-5PQ240C implements a hierarchical routing architecture with a General Routing Matrix (GRM), 24 local clock nets, and four primary low-skew global clock distribution networks. Its CLBs contain dual-slice logic cells with 4-input LUTs configurable as 16-bit RAM, 32-bit RAM, 16-bit dual-ported RAM, or 16-bit shift registers.

Each IOB supports 16 SelectIO™ standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, PCI 3.3 V, HSTL Class IV, and SSTL2/3, with independent programmable drive strength (up to 24 mA source / 48 mA sink), slew rate control, and per-bank VCCO/VREF management across eight I/O banks - enabling mixed-voltage interface coexistence within defined electrical boundaries.

FAQ

What does the "-5" suffix mean in XCV100-5PQ240C?

The "-5" denotes the speed grade, specifying worst-case internal propagation delays and maximum operating frequencies guaranteed by Xilinx. For XCV100-5PQ240C, this means synchronous logic paths meet timing at up to 200 MHz with DLL compensation, and I/O interfaces satisfy 66-MHz PCI timing requirements under commercial temperature and voltage conditions. This grade is distinct from -4 (slower) and -6 (faster) variants.

Is XCV100-5PQ240C still in production or supported?

XCV100-5PQ240C is officially obsolete per Xilinx documentation (DS003-1 v4.0, March 2013) and listed under obsolescence notification XCN10016. No new production lots are manufactured, but Aetrix Electronics maintains traceable inventory of tested, original-packaged units for legacy system sustainment and repair. Full technical documentation remains publicly archived on AMD/Xilinx websites.

Can XCV100-5PQ240C be programmed via JTAG?

Yes, XCV100-5PQ240C supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan programming in slave serial mode using TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. It enables in-system configuration, debug visibility, and partial reconfiguration without requiring external PROMs. The JTAG TAP controller is fully compliant and documented in DS003-4 (Pinout Tables) and DS003-2 (Functional Description).

What I/O standards does XCV100-5PQ240C support, and how are they configured?

XCV100-5PQ240C supports 16 SelectIO™ standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, PCI 3.3 V, HSTL Class IV, and SSTL3 Class I/II. Configuration is per I/O bank: VCCO sets output voltage (e.g., 3.3 V for LVTTL), and VREF (if required) is supplied externally to designated pins. Standards sharing the same VCCO can coexist in one bank; mixing VCCO voltages across banks is permitted, but not within a bank.

Does XCV100-5PQ240C include on-chip memory, and what types are available?

Yes, XCV100-5PQ240C integrates two types of on-chip memory: distributed LUT-based RAM (each 4-LUT configurable as 16×1-bit synchronous RAM; two LUTs per slice form 16×2-bit or 32×1-bit RAM) and ten dedicated 4,096-bit block SelectRAMs totaling 40,960 bits. Each block SelectRAM is synchronous, dual-ported, and supports independent data widths (1–16 bits) and depths (256–4096) - ideal for FIFOs, lookup tables, and buffer memory.
