AMD XCV100E-6PQG240C

Overview

XCV100E-6PQG240C from Xilinx is a 1.8 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array with 32,400 logic cells, 20 block RAMs (81,920 bits), and 196 user I/O pins in a 240-pin PQFP package. It features eight digital Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs), supports LVDS/BLVDS/LVPECL differential I/O up to 622 Mb/s, and delivers internal performance up to 130 MHz (four LUT levels) for high-speed digital signal processing and communication interface design.

For engineers reviewing the XCV100E-6PQG240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for PCI-compliant 33/66-MHz system interfaces, DDR memory controllers requiring true dual-port block RAM, and source-synchronous data acquisition systems demanding deterministic clock management via DLLs.

Technical Context

The XCV100E-6PQG240C implements a regular array architecture of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and Input/Output Blocks (IOBs), interconnected by a General Routing Matrix (GRM) and VersaRing I/O routing. Each CLB contains four logic cells with 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, and dual flip-flops per slice with independent clock enable and synchronous/asynchronous set/reset.

Its IOBs support 20 I/O standards-including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, SSTL3, HSTL, and LVDS-with banked VCCO (3.3 V/2.5 V/1.5 V) and optional VREF. Eight fully digital DLLs provide zero-delay clock conversion, 50% duty cycle synthesis for DDR, and frequency multiplication up to 4×, enabling precise timing control for high-speed serial and parallel interfaces.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the XCV100E-6PQG240C?

The XCV100E-6PQG240C supports internal synchronous logic operation up to 130 MHz for four-LUT-level paths and system clock rates up to 240 MHz in optimized designs. Its eight DLLs enable precise clock deskewing and 50% duty cycle correction for DDR applications, making the XCV100E-6PQG240C suitable for high-speed interface timing closure.

Does the XCV100E-6PQG240C support LVDS I/O?

Yes, the XCV100E-6PQG240C supports LVDS (622 Mb/s), BLVDS, and LVPECL differential signaling with dedicated differential I/O pairs. It requires proper termination and VCCO = 2.5 V for LVDS outputs, and its IOBs include programmable drive strength and slew rate control to meet LVDS electrical specifications.

How many block RAMs does the XCV100E-6PQG240C contain?

The XCV100E-6PQG240C contains 20 block SelectRAM units, totaling 81,920 bits of true dual-port synchronous RAM. Each block is 4096 bits with independent read/write ports, supporting configurations like 256×32, 512×16, or 1024×8-ideal for FIFOs, coefficient storage, and memory-mapped peripherals in the XCV100E-6PQG240C.

Is the XCV100E-6PQG240C pin-compatible with other Virtex-E devices in the PQG240 package?

Yes, the XCV100E-6PQG240C shares the same 240-pin PQFP footprint with other Virtex-E devices in the PQG240 package (e.g., XCV50E-6PQG240C, XCV200E-6PQG240C). Pin functions are consistent across the family, though I/O bank assignments and VCCO/VREF pin counts vary-designers must verify bank voltage constraints per device density.

What configuration modes does the XCV100E-6PQG240C support?

The XCV100E-6PQG240C supports master serial (via external SPROM), slave serial, SelectMAP™ parallel, and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG configuration modes. JTAG is used for boundary scan testing and in-system programming, while SelectMAP™ enables high-speed parallel loading for rapid prototyping and production programming of the XCV100E-6PQG240C.
