AMD XCV150-4PQ240C

Overview

XCV150-4PQ240C from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 164,674 system gates, 3,888 logic cells in a 24×36 CLB array, and 260 maximum user I/O pins in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (including 49,152 bits of block SelectRAM), and supports 66-MHz PCI-compliant interfaces for high-speed embedded control and digital signal processing applications.

For engineers reviewing the XCV150-4PQ240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, DLL jitter specs, CLB timing parameters, and migration guidance from Virtex-1 generation designs.

Technical Context

The XCV150-4PQ240C 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 members. Its CLBs contain four logic cells each, with dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19-input functions, and LUTs configurable as 16-bit RAM, 32-bit RAM, dual-ported RAM, or shift registers.

Each IOB supports 16 SelectIO™ standards-including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, HSTL Class I/III/IV, SSTL3, and GTL+-with independent VCCO per I/O bank, programmable slew rate and drive strength (up to 24 mA source / 48 mA sink), and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan. Eight I/O banks constrain VREF and VCCO voltage mixing, requiring compatible standards within each bank per Table 2.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

Package: PQ240 (Plastic Quad Flat Pack, 240 pins, 0.5 mm pitch, 32.0 × 32.0 mm body size). Pinout conforms to Xilinx DS003-4 (v4.0) Module 4 - Pinout Tables. I/O banks are distributed across four edges (Bank 0–7), with dedicated global clock inputs (GCLK0–GCLK3) on Bank 0/1 and Bank 6/7.

FAQ

Is XCV150-4PQ240C still in production?

No. XCV150-4PQ240C is obsolete per Xilinx Notice XCN10016 (2013). Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers technical migration paths to Spartan-7 or Artix-7 FPGAs with compatible toolchains and pinout adaptation support.

What configuration modes does XCV150-4PQ240C support?

XCV150-4PQ240C supports four configuration modes: Master Serial (reads bitstream from external PROM), Slave Serial (bitstream loaded via FPGA's DIN pin), SelectMAP (8-bit parallel interface), and JTAG (boundary-scan programming). Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up.

Can XCV150-4PQ240C interface directly with 3.3 V peripherals?

Yes. XCV150-4PQ240C IOBs support LVTTL and PCI 3.3 V standards with 3.3 V VCCO. However, 3.3 V-tolerant inputs require VCCO = 3.3 V and disable 5 V tolerance; mixing 3.3 V and 5 V-tolerant standards in the same I/O bank is prohibited per DS003-2 Section "I/O Banking".

Does XCV150-4PQ240C include on-chip memory for data storage?

Yes. XCV150-4PQ240C contains 49,152 bits of block SelectRAM (12 × 4096-bit dual-port RAM blocks) plus distributed LUT RAM (16-bit per LUT). This enables synchronous FIFOs, lookup tables, and frame buffers without external memory chips.

What is the role of the die temperature sensor diode in XCV150-4PQ240C?

The die temperature sensor diode in XCV150-4PQ240C provides an analog voltage output (TEMP pin) proportional to junction temperature. Used with external ADC, it enables real-time thermal monitoring for dynamic clock gating or fan speed control in thermally constrained enclosures.
