AMD XCV200-4PQ240I

Overview

XCV200-4PQ240I from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 236,666 system gates, 5,292 logic cells, and 284 user I/O pins in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (including 57,344 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 XCV200-4PQ240I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C), -4 speed grade (max 200 MHz system performance), PQ240 package I/O count (166 max per package table), SelectIO™ interface flexibility across 16 standards, and die-temperature sensor diode for thermal monitoring.

Technical Context

The XCV200-4PQ240I implements a hierarchical routing architecture with a General Routing Matrix (GRM), local VersaBlock interconnect, and peripheral VersaRing I/O routing-enabling high routability and pin-locking for PCB reuse. Its CLB contains two slices, each with four 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19 input logic, and dual-port synchronous storage elements.

It integrates four dedicated DLLs for clock deskew and jitter control, four primary low-skew global clock nets plus 24 secondary local clock nets, and supports multi-voltage I/O banking with independent VCCO and VREF per bank. Block SelectRAM provides configurable dual-ported 4k-bit RAMs with independent port widths (1–16 bits) and depth/width trade-offs.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XCV200-4PQ240I?

The XCV200-4PQ240I is rated for synchronous system clock rates up to 200 MHz, including I/O paths, under worst-case industrial temperature and voltage conditions. This performance is guaranteed by the -4 speed grade and validated using Xilinx's timing analysis tools with device-specific characterization data from DS003-3.

Does the XCV200-4PQ240I support hot-swap operation in Compact PCI systems?

Yes, the XCV200-4PQ240I explicitly supports hot-swappable operation in Compact PCI systems, as confirmed in the DS003-1 Product Specification. Its I/O structure, power sequencing behavior, and robust ESD protection meet the mechanical and electrical requirements for live insertion and removal without damaging the host backplane or adjacent cards.

How many block RAMs does the XCV200-4PQ240I contain, and what are their configurations?

The XCV200-4PQ240I contains 14 block SelectRAM units, totaling 57,344 bits. Each block is a fully synchronous dual-ported 4,096-bit RAM with independently configurable port widths (1–16 bits) and depths (4096–256), supporting built-in bus-width conversion and true dual-clock operation per port.

Is the XCV200-4PQ240I still in active production, or is it obsolete?

The XCV200-4PQ240I is marked as obsolete/under obsolescence per Xilinx documentation (DS003-1 v4.0, March 2013). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers extended lifecycle support-including traceable sourcing, counterfeit mitigation, and long-term supply agreements-for continued use in maintenance and sustainment programs.

Can the XCV200-4PQ240I be configured via JTAG, and what other modes are supported?

Yes, the XCV200-4PQ240I supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG configuration for programming, debugging, and boundary-scan testing. It also supports three additional modes: master serial (using internal oscillator and CCLK), slave serial (synchronous to external CCLK), and SelectMAP™ (parallel 8-bit or 16-bit synchronous interface), providing flexibility for different system architectures and boot requirements.
