Product details
Overview
XCV200E-8FG256C from Xilinx is a 1.8 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 306,393 system gates and 63,504 logic cells in a 28 × 42 CLB array. It features eight digital Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs), up to 176 user I/O pins in Fine-Pitch BGA (FG256) package, and supports LVDS (622 Mb/s), LVPECL, and PCI 3.3 V/66 MHz interfaces - deployed in high-speed communications infrastructure and embedded signal processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XCV200E-8FG256C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include internal 130 MHz performance (four LUT levels), 1.8 V core voltage with 3.3 V I/O tolerance, true dual-port block RAM (114,688 bits), DLL-based clock multiplication/division, and compatibility with Xilinx Foundation™ and Alliance Series™ design tools.
Technical Context
The XCV200E-8FG256C implements a regular FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs) containing four logic cells each - each cell integrating a 4-input LUT, dedicated carry chain, and edge-triggered D-flip-flop with independent clock enable, synchronous/asynchronous set/reset. Its eight fully digital DLLs provide zero-delay clock conversion, 50% duty cycle synthesis for DDR, and up to 4× frequency multiplication.
I/O functionality is managed via SelectI/O+™ technology across eight banks, supporting 20 interface standards including LVDS, LVPECL, SSTL, HSTL, and PCI. Input buffers for LVTTL/LVCMOS2/PCI are powered by VCCO (not VCCINT), enabling mixed-voltage I/O operation per bank, while differential signaling supports input/output/I/O directionality with 622 Mb/s data rates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| System Gates | 306,393 - indicates total logic capacity equivalent to standard gate count for architectural sizing and density comparison. |
| Logic Cells | 63,504 - fundamental programmable units, each with LUT + flip-flop + carry logic, defining realizable logic depth and register count. |
| CLB Array | 28 × 42 - fixed grid layout determining maximum routable interconnect density and placement constraints. |
| User I/O Pins | 176 - single-ended I/O count in FG256 package; defines maximum external interface bandwidth and board-level pin assignment scope. |
| Block RAM Bits | 114,688 - distributed across 28 × 4096-bit true dual-port synchronous memory blocks, enabling independent read/write ports for FIFOs or buffering. |
| DLL Count | 8 - fully digital delay-locked loops for jitter-reduced clock distribution, phase alignment, and frequency synthesis without external PLL components. |
| Core Voltage (VCCINT) | 1.8 V - reduces dynamic power vs. 2.5 V Virtex family; requires dedicated low-noise regulation and impacts thermal design. |
| Speed Grade | -8 - fastest commercial-grade timing bin, guaranteeing worst-case internal register-to-register delay ≤ 4.3 ns (per DS022-1 Table 2). |
Pinout & Package
Package: Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FG256), 256-ball, 1.0 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, with 176 user I/O pins distributed across eight I/O banks (Bank 0–7), plus dedicated global clock inputs (GCLK0–GCLK3), configuration pins (INIT, PROGRAM, DONE), JTAG boundary-scan pins (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), and power/ground balls (VCCINT, VCCO, GND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GCLK0–GCLK3 | Global Clock Inputs | Dedicated low-skew routing to all DLLs and CLBs; required for synchronous system timing and clock domain crossing. |
| IO_LxxN/IO_LxxP | Differential I/O Pairs | LVDS/LVPECL-capable terminals; must be used in matched N/P pairs with controlled impedance routing and termination. |
| VCCO_0–VCCO_7 | I/O Bank Power Supplies | Independent 1.5–3.3 V supplies per bank; determines compatible I/O standards within each bank (e.g., VCCO=3.3 V enables LVTTL/PCI). |
| VREF_0–VREF_7 | Input Threshold Reference | Required for SSTL/HSTL/GTL standards; shared across all I/Os in same bank; must be externally sourced and filtered. |
| PROGRAM_B / INIT_B / DONE | Configuration Control | Active-low signals managing master serial SPROM loading sequence and configuration status reporting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SelectRAM+™ Memory Hierarchy | 114,688-bit true dual-port block RAM + 75,264-bit distributed RAM enables pipelined data buffering and on-chip memory-mapped peripherals without external SRAM. |
| SelectI/O+™ Technology | Support for 20 I/O standards (LVDS, LVPECL, SSTL, HSTL, PCI) per bank allows mixed-voltage interfaces on single device - critical for bridging legacy and high-speed subsystems. |
| Digital DLL Clock Management | Eight DLLs provide deterministic clock deskew, 50% duty cycle correction for DDR, and integer clock multiplication - eliminating need for external clock synthesizers in timing-critical designs. |
| Flexible CLB Architecture | Each CLB contains four logic cells with cascaded carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5-/6-input functions, and BUFTs for internal 3-state bussing - optimizing arithmetic, wide logic, and bus arbitration. |
| IEEE 1149.1 Boundary Scan | Fully compliant JTAG TAP controller enables in-system test, programming, and debug without physical probe access - essential for high-density PCB validation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based reconfigurable logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the XCV200E-8FG256C?
The XCV200E-8FG256C guarantees synchronous system clock rates up to 240 MHz (including I/O path) and internal logic performance exceeding 130 MHz (four LUT levels), with worst-case register-to-register delay of 4.3 ns per DS022-1 Table 2. Actual frequency depends on design complexity, placement, and routing - verified during static timing analysis in Xilinx Alliance or Foundation tools.
Does the XCV200E-8FG256C support LVDS I/O standards?
Yes, the XCV200E-8FG256C supports LVDS (622 Mb/s), BLVDS, and LVPECL signaling through its SelectI/O+™ technology. Differential I/O pairs require matching N/P pins, external 100 Ω termination, and proper VCCO/VREF settings per I/O bank - detailed in DS022-2 Module 2 Section "Input/Output Block".
How many block RAMs does the XCV200E-8FG256C contain?
The XCV200E-8FG256C contains 28 block SelectRAM™ modules, each 4096 bits, totaling 114,688 bits of true dual-port synchronous memory. These blocks are arranged in columns adjacent to CLB columns (0, 12, 30, 42) and support independent read/write widths per port - enabling efficient FIFOs, frame buffers, or descriptor tables.
Is the XCV200E-8FG256C pin-compatible with other Virtex-E devices in FG256 package?
No - only same-device variants (e.g., XCV200E-7FG256C) are pin-compatible. XCV100E-8FG256C and XCV300E-8FG256C use different FG256 pinouts per DS022-4 Module 4. The XCV200E-8FG256C has unique I/O bank assignments and CLB-to-pin mappings; migration requires full pin constraint revalidation and PCB redesign if changing density.
What configuration modes does the XCV200E-8FG256C support?
The XCV200E-8FG256C supports master serial (via external SPROM), slave serial, SelectMAP™ (8- or 16-bit parallel), and JTAG boundary-scan configuration modes. Configuration is SRAM-based and volatile - requiring re-loading at power-up. JTAG mode enables in-system programming and IEEE 1149.1 testing without interrupting system operation.
