AMD XCV150-4PQ240I

Overview

XCV150-4PQ240I from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 164,674 system gates, 3,888 logic cells, and 260 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 RAM and LUT-based RAM/shift register modes), and supports 66-MHz PCI compliance and hot-swappable Compact PCI operation.

For engineers reviewing the XCV150-4PQ240I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, CLB structure, DLL timing parameters, and SelectIO™ interface compatibility - all specific to the -4 speed grade and PQ240 industrial-temperature variant.

Technical Context

The XCV150-4PQ240I implements a hierarchical routing architecture with a General Routing Matrix (GRM), local VersaBlock interconnect, and peripheral VersaRing I/O routing. Its CLB contains 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 flip-flops.

It supports eight I/O banks with bank-specific VCCO and VREF requirements; compatible standards include LVTTL (3.3 V, 5 V tolerant), LVCMOS2 (2.5 V), HSTL Class I/III/IV (1.5 V), and SSTL2/SSTL3 (1.25 V / 1.5 V). Each IOB includes programmable delay, weak-keeper, and independent polarity control for inputs/outputs.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based logic implementation applications.

Compared with XCV150-4PQ240I, the -5 variant offers improved timing headroom within identical thermal and layout constraints, while the XCV200-4PQ240I provides 44% more logic and 17% more I/O in the same PQ240 package - making both viable alternatives depending on whether performance headroom or resource headroom is the primary constraint.

The Virtex family - including XCV150-4PQ240I - was engineered for high-speed, high-density logic replacement in communications infrastructure, industrial automation, and military/aerospace systems demanding SRAM-based reconfigurability and deterministic timing.

FAQ

What does the 'I' suffix in XCV150-4PQ240I indicate?

The 'I' suffix in XCV150-4PQ240I specifies the industrial temperature grade, certifying operation from –40°C to +100°C junction temperature. This rating is validated per Xilinx DS003-1 and applies to the full device - core logic, I/O banks, DLLs, and configuration circuitry - ensuring reliability in harsh embedded environments where commercial-grade parts would fail.

Does XCV150-4PQ240I support JTAG configuration?

Yes, XCV150-4PQ240I fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG configuration via TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. It enables boundary-scan testing, in-system programming, and configuration bitstream verification without requiring external PROMs. The JTAG interface operates independently of other configuration modes and is active immediately after power-up.

How many block RAMs does XCV150-4PQ240I contain, and what are their configurations?

XCV150-4PQ240I contains 12 block SelectRAMs totaling 49,152 bits. Each block is a fully synchronous dual-ported 4,096-bit RAM with independent address/data buses per port. Supported configurations include 1×4096, 2×2048, 4×1024, 8×512, and 16×256 - enabling flexible bus-width conversion and simultaneous read/write operations without external arbitration logic.

Can XCV150-4PQ240I interface directly with 5 V TTL logic?

XCV150-4PQ240I supports 5 V-tolerant inputs for LVTTL and PCI 5 V standards, but its outputs are not 5 V capable. When interfacing with 5 V TTL, inputs may be driven directly (with appropriate pull-ups), but outputs require level-shifting or open-collector buffering. VCCO must be set to 3.3 V for LVTTL I/O banks, and VREF is not required for these standards.

Is XCV150-4PQ240I still in production, and what is its obsolescence status?

XCV150-4PQ240I is obsolete per Xilinx documentation (DS003-1 v4.0, March 2013) and listed under XCN10016 as discontinued. Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers lifecycle management support - including last-time buy coordination, cross-reference guidance, and migration path analysis to Spartan-7 or Artix-7 families where technically feasible.
