AMD XCV300E-7PQ240I

Overview

XCV300E-7PQ240I from Xilinx is a 1.8 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array with 411,955 system gates, 6,912 logic cells, and 316 user I/O pins in a 240-pin PQ (Plastic Quad Flat) package. It features eight digital Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs), up to 131,072 bits of synchronous block RAM, and supports LVDS (622 Mb/s), LVPECL, and PCI 3.3 V/66 MHz interfaces for high-speed communication subsystems in industrial control and test equipment.

For engineers reviewing the XCV300E-7PQ240I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device delivers verified 240 MHz synchronous system performance, 133+ MHz internal logic operation, and full IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support - critical for high-reliability FPGA integration, timing-critical I/O interfacing, and reconfigurable signal processing platforms.

Technical Context

The XCV300E-7PQ240I implements a regular array architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs) and programmable input/output blocks (IOBs), interconnected via a general routing matrix (GRM) and peripheral VersaRing™ routing. Each CLB contains four logic cells with 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, and dual flip-flops per slice supporting 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 DLLs provide zero-delay clock conversion, 50% duty-cycle synthesis for DDR, and frequency multiplication - enabling precise clock domain crossing and source-synchronous data capture at up to 622 Mb/s.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XCV300E-7PQ240I?

The XCV300E-7PQ240I is rated for industrial temperature range: –40 °C to +100 °C junction temperature. This specification is defined in the DS022-1 (v2.3) Production Product Specification and validated across all speed grades and packages. Thermal derating applies above 85 °C ambient depending on airflow and PCB copper area.

Does XCV300E-7PQ240I support JTAG boundary scan testing?

Yes, XCV300E-7PQ240I includes full IEEE 1149.1-compliant boundary-scan logic integrated into its IOBs. The TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins are dedicated for this function, enabling board-level interconnect testing, in-system programming, and debug visibility without requiring additional test circuitry.

Can XCV300E-7PQ240I interface directly with 5 V TTL logic?

No, XCV300E-7PQ240I I/O pins are not 5 V tolerant by default. They support 3.3 V LVTTL and 2.5 V LVCMOS, but 5 V operation requires external 100 Ω series resistors per pin to limit current and prevent damage - as documented in DS022-1 Section "I/O Pins Are 3 V Tolerant".

How many block RAMs does XCV300E-7PQ240I contain?

XCV300E-7PQ240I contains 32 block SelectRAMs, totaling 131,072 bits of synchronous, true dual-port memory. Each block is 4096 bits organized as configurable depths (e.g., 256 × 512, 512 × 256) with independent read/write clocks and enables - confirmed in Table 4 of DS022-2 (v2.8).

Is XCV300E-7PQ240I pin-compatible with earlier Virtex devices?

XCV300E-7PQ240I is not bitstream-compatible with Virtex devices, but shares pinout compatibility with same-package Virtex counterparts (e.g., XCV300-6PQ240C) with minor exceptions - specifically in clock pin assignments and VREF handling. Full details are in DS022-1 Section "Virtex-E Compared to Virtex Devices".
