AMD XCV200E-6PQ240C

Overview

XCV200E-6PQ240C from Xilinx is a 1.8 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array with 306,393 system gates, 5,292 logic cells, and 284 user I/O pins in a 240-pin PQ (Plastic Quad Flat) package. It features eight digital Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs), up to 114,688 bits of synchronous block RAM, and supports LVDS, LVPECL, and PCI-compliant 3.3 V interfaces for high-speed communication subsystems in telecom infrastructure.

For engineers reviewing the XCV200E-6PQ240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device delivers verified 130 MHz internal performance (four LUT levels), 622 Mb/s differential I/O, 240 MHz synchronous system clock capability, and full IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support - critical for high-reliability FPGA integration and JTAG-based validation workflows.

Technical Context

The XCV200E-6PQ240C implements a regular array architecture of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and Input/Output Blocks (IOBs) interconnected via a General Routing Matrix (GRM) and VersaRing™ peripheral routing. Each CLB contains four logic cells with 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, and dual flip-flops per slice with independent clock enable, synchronous/asynchronous set/reset.

Its IOBs support 20 interface standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, SSTL3, HSTL, and differential LVDS/LVPECL, with banked VCCO and VREF management. Eight fully digital DLLs provide zero-delay clock conversion, 50% duty cycle synthesis for DDR, and frequency multiplication - enabling precise timing control across mixed-voltage I/O domains.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XCV200E-6PQ240C?

The XCV200E-6PQ240C is rated for commercial temperature range (0 °C to +85 °C junction). Its thermal design uses the PQ package's exposed thermal pad (if soldered) to maintain safe junction temperatures under full logic utilization at 1.8 V VCCINT. Derating is required above 70 °C ambient for sustained 240 MHz operation.

Does XCV200E-6PQ240C support JTAG configuration and boundary scan?

Yes, XCV200E-6PQ240C fully implements IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan logic with dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. It supports in-system programming, configuration verification, and interconnect testing - essential for production test and field firmware updates without requiring external programmers.

Can XCV200E-6PQ240C interface directly with 5 V logic devices?

XCV200E-6PQ240C I/O pins are 3 V tolerant; 5 V tolerance requires external 100 Ω series resistors per pin. PCI 5 V signaling is not supported. For true 5 V interfacing, external level translators are recommended - especially for LVTTL inputs exceeding 3.6 V absolute maximum.

How many DLLs does XCV200E-6PQ240C include, and what are their key capabilities?

XCV200E-6PQ240C integrates eight fully digital Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs). Each supports clock multiply/divide, 50% duty cycle correction for DDR, zero-delay conversion of LVPECL/LVDS inputs to any I/O standard, and clock mirroring - enabling simultaneous multi-domain clock management without external PLLs.

Is XCV200E-6PQ240C pin-compatible with other Virtex-E devices in the PQ240 package?

Yes, all Virtex-E devices in the PQ240 package - including XCV50E, XCV100E, and XCV200E - share identical pinouts. This allows hardware reuse across density tiers. However, unused pins in smaller devices may be NC or VCCINT in larger variants; always verify pin function tables for target density.
