AMD XCV100-5PQ240I

Overview

XCV100-5PQ240I 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 bits of block RAM and LUTs configurable as RAM/shift registers), and supports 66-MHz PCI compliance and hot-swappable Compact PCI operation.

For engineers reviewing the XCV100-5PQ240I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, DLL jitter specs, SelectIO™ standard compatibility (LVTTL, HSTL, SSTL), and CLB-level timing parameters for high-speed synchronous design validation.

Technical Context

The XCV100-5PQ240I implements a hierarchical routing architecture with a General Routing Matrix (GRM), 24 local clock nets, and four global low-skew clock distribution networks. Its CLBs contain two slices each with four 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19 input logic, and dual-port 4k-bit block RAMs arranged in two vertical columns.

I/O functionality is organized into eight banks with bank-specific VCCO and VREF requirements; each IOB supports programmable drive strength (up to 24 mA source / 48 mA sink), slew rate control, weak-keeper, and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan. The device uses a 0.22 μm 5-layer metal CMOS process and requires external configuration PROM or JTAG programming.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XCV100-5PQ240I?

The XCV100-5PQ240I supports synchronous system clock rates up to 200 MHz, including I/O timing, as guaranteed by its -5 speed grade. This is validated through worst-case timing analysis across representative circuits like register-to-register paths (5.0 ns), pipelined multipliers (6.0 ns), and address decoders (4.4 ns). Actual achievable frequency depends on design complexity, placement, and routing, but the -5 grade ensures timing closure at 200 MHz under industrial temperature and voltage conditions.

Does the XCV100-5PQ240I support hot-swap functionality for CompactPCI systems?

Yes, the XCV100-5PQ240I is explicitly designed to meet CompactPCI hot-swap requirements. Its I/O architecture supports controlled power-up sequencing, glitch-free I/O enable/disable via synchronous 3-state control, and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan for in-system verification-all documented in DS003-1. The device's robust ESD protection, programmable pull-ups/pull-downs, and weak-keeper circuitry ensure safe insertion and removal without damaging backplane signals or adjacent cards.

How many block RAMs does the XCV100-5PQ240I include, and what are their configurations?

The XCV100-5PQ240I contains 10 block SelectRAMs totaling 40,960 bits. Each block is a fully synchronous dual-ported 4096-bit RAM with independent address and data buses per port. Supported configurations include 1×4096, 2×2048, 4×1024, 8×512, and 16×256, allowing flexible bus-width conversion (e.g., 8-bit write / 32-bit read) and simultaneous access for ping-pong buffering or FIFO implementations without external memory.

What I/O standards are supported by the XCV100-5PQ240I's SelectIO™ interface?

The XCV100-5PQ240I supports 16 I/O standards via SelectIO™, including LVTTL (3.3 V, 5 V tolerant), LVCMOS2 (2.5 V), PCI 3.3 V and 5 V, HSTL Class I/III/IV (1.5 V), SSTL3/SSTL2 (3.3 V/2.5 V), GTL/GTL+, CTT, AGP, and programmable drive strength (2–24 mA) with slew rate control. Compatibility is constrained by I/O banking: VCCO and VREF voltages must be uniform within each of the eight banks, and standards sharing the same VCCO (e.g., LVTTL and SSTL3) may coexist in one bank.

Is the XCV100-5PQ240I still in active production, and what obsolescence support is available?

No, the XCV100-5PQ240I is obsolete per Xilinx documentation (DS003-1 v4.0, March 2013) and referenced in XCN10016. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers extended lifecycle coordination-including last-time buy planning, cross-reference guidance to Virtex-II or Spartan-3 alternatives, and engineering support for migration path validation-to ensure continuity for deployed industrial and aerospace systems relying on XCV100-5PQ240I.
