AMD XCV200-5PQ240I

Overview

XCV200-5PQ240I 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 maximum user I/O pins in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQ240) package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (including 57,344 bits of block SelectRAM), and supports 66-MHz PCI compliance for high-speed embedded control and interface bridging applications.

For engineers reviewing the XCV200-5PQ240I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, CLB-level timing behavior, DLL jitter specifications, and migration guidance from Virtex-1 generation devices.

Technical Context

The XCV200-5PQ240I implements a hierarchical routing architecture with General Routing Matrix (GRM), VersaRing I/O ring, and dedicated horizontal bus lines per CLB row. Its CLBs contain two slices each with four 4-input LUTs, carry chains, and configurable storage elements supporting synchronous/asynchronous set/reset.

It supports multi-standard SelectIO™ interfaces across eight I/O banks, requiring bank-specific VCCO (1.5 V/2.5 V/3.3 V) and optional VREF (0.75–1.5 V). The device uses a 0.22 μm 5-layer metal CMOS process and is fully IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan compliant.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XCV200-5PQ240I?

The XCV200-5PQ240I is rated for up to 200 MHz system clock performance under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +100°C). This specification applies to register-to-register paths with worst-case timing analysis using the -5 speed grade. Actual achievable frequency depends on design topology, placement, and routing; benchmark data shows pipelined multipliers operating at 5.1 ns (196 MHz) and address decoders at 4.4 ns (227 MHz) in representative circuits.

Does the XCV200-5PQ240I support hot-swap capability for Compact PCI applications?

Yes, the XCV200-5PQ240I supports hot-swappable operation in Compact PCI systems. Its I/O architecture meets PCI 66-MHz compliance requirements, and its power-up sequencing-including configurable weak-keeper circuits and high-impedance default states on non-configuration pins-ensures safe insertion and removal without disrupting backplane signaling integrity.

How many block RAM modules does the XCV200-5PQ240I contain, and what are their configurations?

The XCV200-5PQ240I contains 14 block SelectRAM modules totaling 57,344 bits. Each module is a fully synchronous, dual-ported 4096-bit RAM with independent clocks, addresses, and enables per port. Supported configurations include 1×4096, 2×2048, 4×1024, 8×512, and 16×256, enabling flexible data buffering, FIFO construction, and lookup table implementation without external memory.

Can the XCV200-5PQ240I be configured via JTAG, and what modes are supported?

Yes, the XCV200-5PQ240I supports JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) configuration in addition to master serial, slave serial, and SelectMAP™ modes. JTAG enables in-system programming, boundary-scan testing, and readback of configuration bitstreams. The TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins are dedicated and fully compliant with JTAG specification, allowing integration into automated test and programming workflows.

What I/O standards are supported by the XCV200-5PQ240I, and how are they grouped?

The XCV200-5PQ240I supports 16 SelectIO™ standards-including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, PCI 3.3 V/5 V, HSTL Classes I/III/IV, SSTL2/3, GTL/GTL+, and CTT-grouped across eight electrically isolated I/O banks. Each bank requires a common VCCO voltage; VREF is required only for HSTL/SSTL and must be shared across all VREF pins within the same bank. Mixing incompatible standards (e.g., 3.3 V and 1.5 V outputs) within one bank is prohibited.
