AMD XCV200E-7PQ240C

Overview

XCV200E-7PQ240C from Xilinx is a 1.8 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 306,393 system gates and 5,292 logic cells in a 28 × 42 CLB array. It features eight digital Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs), up to 284 user I/O pins in PQ240 package, and supports LVDS (622 Mb/s), LVPECL, and PCI 3.3 V/66 MHz interfaces - deployed in high-speed communications and embedded signal processing systems.

For engineers reviewing the XCV200E-7PQ240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its -7 speed grade (4.3 ns register-to-register delay), 1.8 V core voltage, 284 I/O count in PQ240 package, dual-port block RAM capability, and compatibility with Xilinx Foundation™ and Alliance Series™ design tools.

Technical Context

The XCV200E-7PQ240C implements a regular FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), input/output blocks (IOBs), and a programmable routing matrix. Each CLB contains four logic cells with 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, and dual flip-flops per slice - enabling high-speed arithmetic and wide-input logic functions.

Its IOBs support SelectI/O+™ technology across 20 standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, SSTL, HSTL, and differential LVDS/LVPECL, with banked VCCO and VREF management. Eight fully digital DLLs provide clock multiplication, duty-cycle correction, and zero-delay conversion of high-speed differential clocks to any I/O standard.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XCV200E-7PQ240C?

The XCV200E-7PQ240C is rated for commercial temperature range (0 °C to +85 °C junction). Its PQ240 package uses thermally enhanced plastic molding compound and an exposed pad to dissipate heat during sustained 133+ MHz operation. Thermal derating is required above 85 °C ambient.

Does XCV200E-7PQ240C support IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testing?

Yes, XCV200E-7PQ240C includes full IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan logic with TAP controller, instruction register, and boundary-scan cell chain covering all user I/O pins. This enables in-circuit testing, programming, and debug without requiring physical probe access.

Can XCV200E-7PQ240C configure from a serial PROM?

Yes, XCV200E-7PQ240C supports master serial configuration mode using industry-standard serial PROMs (e.g., Xilinx XC18V00 series). The FPGA drives the PROM's clock and reads configuration data through the DIN pin, completing initialization in under 100 ms for full bitstream load.

What I/O standards are supported on bank 0 of XCV200E-7PQ240C?

Bank 0 of XCV200E-7PQ240C supports LVTTL, LVCMOS2, PCI33_3, and PCI66_3 standards - all powered by VCCO_0. It does not support SSTL or HSTL in this bank due to absence of VREF_0 pins; those standards require banks with dedicated VREF connections (e.g., bank 2 or 4).

Is XCV200E-7PQ240C pin-compatible with earlier Virtex devices?

No, XCV200E-7PQ240C is not pin-compatible with original Virtex devices (e.g., XCV200). While both use PQ240 packages, Virtex-E introduces revised banking rules, relocated VCCO/VREF pins, and additional DLL-related signals - requiring PCB redesign for migration from Virtex to Virtex-E.
