Product details
Overview
XCV300-4PQ240C from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 322,970 system gates, 6,912 logic cells in a 32×48 CLB array, and 316 user I/O pins in a 240-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (including 65,536-bit block RAM and LUT-based RAM/shift register modes), and supports 66-MHz PCI-compliant interfaces for high-speed embedded control and digital signal processing applications.
For engineers reviewing the XCV300-4PQ240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, DLL jitter specifications, CLB-level timing parameters, and migration guidance from Virtex-1 generation devices.
Technical Context
The XCV300-4PQ240C implements a hierarchical routing architecture with General Routing Matrix (GRM), 24 local clock nets, and four global low-skew clock distribution networks. Its CLBs contain dual-slice logic with 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19 input functions, and BUFTs for internal 3-state bus driving.
I/O functionality is organized into eight banks with per-bank VCCO and VREF constraints; each IOB supports programmable drive strength (up to 24 mA source / 48 mA sink), slew rate control, weak-keeper, and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan. Supported standards include LVTTL, LVCMOS2, PCI 3.3 V/5 V, HSTL Class IV (200 MHz), and SSTL2/3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the XCV300-4PQ240C?
The XCV300-4PQ240C supports synchronous system clock rates up to 200 MHz when using its four delay-locked loops (DLLs) for clock deskew and phase alignment. This rating applies to register-to-register paths under worst-case timing conditions at 2.5 V core voltage and 0°C to +85°C ambient temperature, as confirmed in DS003-3 (v4.0) switching characteristics.
Does the XCV300-4PQ240C support hot-swap functionality in CompactPCI systems?
Yes, the XCV300-4PQ240C is explicitly designed for hot-swappable CompactPCI applications. Its I/O structure, PROGRAM_B and INIT_B signaling, and DLL-controlled timing enable safe insertion/removal while the backplane remains powered. Compliance is verified per PICMG 2.1 specification, with no external circuitry required beyond standard CompactPCI connector layout.
How many block RAM resources does the XCV300-4PQ240C provide, and what configurations are supported?
The XCV300-4PQ240C contains 16 block SelectRAM units totaling 65,536 bits. Each block is a fully synchronous dual-ported 4,096-bit RAM with independently configurable ports. Supported aspect ratios include 1×4096, 2×2048, 4×1024, 8×512, and 16×256, enabling flexible data width/depth trade-offs for FIFOs, frame buffers, or lookup tables in the XCV300-4PQ240C design.
Can the XCV300-4PQ240C interface directly with 5 V TTL logic?
Yes, the XCV300-4PQ240C supports 5 V-tolerant inputs for LVTTL, PCI 5 V, and LVCMOS2 standards when configured with appropriate VCCO and termination. Input protection uses a Zener-like clamp to ground, allowing safe operation with 5 V signals while powered at 2.5 V core and 3.3 V I/O. However, outputs are not 5 V driven - external level shifters are needed for true 5 V output drive.
What configuration modes are supported by the XCV300-4PQ240C?
The XCV300-4PQ240C supports four configuration modes: Master Serial (reads bitstream from external PROM via CCLK/CS/DIN), Slave Serial (bitstream loaded by external controller), SelectMAP™ (8-bit parallel interface), and JTAG (boundary-scan programming via TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO). All modes are electrically compatible and selectable via mode pins at power-up.
