AMD XCV300-5BG352I

Overview

XCV300-5BG352I from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 322,970 system gates, 6,912 logic cells, and 316 user I/O pins in a 352-ball BGA 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 compliance and hot-swappable Compact PCI operation.

For engineers reviewing the XCV300-5BG352I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, CLB-level timing behavior, SelectIO™ standard compatibility (LVTTL, HSTL, SSTL), and migration guidance from legacy Virtex devices.

Technical Context

The XCV300-5BG352I implements a hierarchical routing architecture with a General Routing Matrix (GRM), local VersaBlock interconnect, and peripheral VersaRing I/O routing - enabling high place-and-route efficiency for complex synchronous designs. Its CLBs contain dual-slice structures with 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for wide-function logic, and configurable storage elements with independent clock enable, set/reset polarity, and synchronous/asynchronous control.

Each IOB supports multi-standard SelectIO™ interfaces across eight voltage-referenced I/O banks, with per-bank VCCO and VREF constraints dictating compatible signaling standards (e.g., HSTL Class IV at 1.5 V, SSTL3 at 3.3 V). The device includes IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan logic, die-temperature sensor diode, and SRAM-based in-system reprogrammability via JTAG, SelectMAP™, or serial PROM modes.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XCV300-5BG352I?

XCV300-5BG352I supports a worst-case synchronous system clock rate of up to 200 MHz, including I/O paths, as validated under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +100°C) and confirmed in DS003-1 Table 2. This assumes proper PCB layout, decoupling, and timing-constrained synthesis targeting the -5 speed grade.

Does XCV300-5BG352I support hot-swap operation in Compact PCI systems?

Yes, XCV300-5BG352I is explicitly designed for hot-swappable Compact PCI applications, as stated in the DS003-1 Features section. Its I/O structure, power sequencing behavior, and robust ESD protection meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for live insertion and removal in backplane environments.

Can XCV300-5BG352I interface directly with DDR SDRAM?

XCV300-5BG352I does not include dedicated DDR controller hard IP, but its SelectIO™ outputs support SSTL2 Class I/II standards (1.25 V) and its DLLs enable precise clock-to-out timing control - allowing implementation of a soft DDR controller with careful timing closure and board-level termination matching.

What configuration modes are supported by XCV300-5BG352I?

XCV300-5BG352I supports four configuration modes: master serial (reads bitstream from external PROM), slave serial, SelectMAP™ (parallel synchronous), and JTAG (boundary-scan). All modes are fully documented in DS003-1 Module 1 and DS003-4 Pinout Tables, with dedicated pins assigned for each interface.

Is XCV300-5BG352I still in active production?

No - XCV300-5BG352I is marked as obsolete/under obsolescence per DS003-1 v4.0 (March 2013), with discontinuation referenced in Xilinx Notice XCN10016. Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and supports lifecycle management, but new design-ins should consider migration paths such as Spartan-6 or Artix-7 families.
