AMD XCV400E-7BG560C

Overview

XCV400E-7BG560C from Xilinx is a 1.8 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array with 569,952 system gates, 10,800 logic cells, and 404 user I/O pins in a 560-ball BGA package. It features eight digital Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs), up to 163.84 kb of true dual-port block RAM, and supports LVDS (622 Mb/s), LVPECL, and PCI 3.3 V interfaces for high-speed communications infrastructure and test equipment.

For engineers reviewing the XCV400E-7BG560C 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 with 3.3 V I/O tolerance, 240 MHz synchronous system clock capability, and support for source-synchronous data transmission architectures.

Technical Context

The XCV400E-7BG560C implements a regular array architecture of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and Input/Output Blocks (IOBs), interconnected by a General Routing Matrix (GRM) and VersaRing I/O routing. Each CLB contains four logic cells with 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, and dual flip-flops per slice with independent clock enable and synchronous/asynchronous set/reset.

Its IOBs support 20 interface standards-including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, SSTL3, HSTL, and differential LVDS/LVPECL-with banked VCCO and VREF constraints. Eight DLLs provide zero-delay clock conversion, 50% duty cycle synthesis for DDR, and frequency multiplication up to 4×, enabling precise timing control across multiple clock domains.

FAQ

What is the maximum supported I/O standard data rate for XCV400E-7BG560C?

XCV400E-7BG560C supports LVDS signaling at up to 622 Mb/s, LVPECL clock inputs at over 300 MHz, and single-ended I/O performance up to 240 MHz using source-synchronous architectures. These rates are validated under worst-case timing conditions for the -7 speed grade and require proper PCB layout, termination, and VCCO/VREF compliance per I/O banking rules.

Does XCV400E-7BG560C support JTAG boundary scan and in-system configuration?

Yes, XCV400E-7BG560C includes full IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan logic and supports in-system configuration via JTAG, SelectMAP, slave serial, and master serial modes. The TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins provide standardized access for programming, debugging, and production testing without requiring external configuration PROMs.

How many DLLs does XCV400E-7BG560C integrate, and what functions do they perform?

XCV400E-7BG560C integrates eight fully digital Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs). Each DLL performs clock deskew, 50% duty cycle correction for DDR applications, frequency multiplication (up to 4×), and zero-delay conversion of high-speed LVPECL/LVDS clocks to any supported I/O standard-enabling precise multi-domain clock management.

What is the block RAM capacity and architecture of XCV400E-7BG560C?

XCV400E-7BG560C provides 40 block SelectRAM units totaling 163,840 bits of true dual-port synchronous RAM. Each block is 4096 bits with independently configurable port widths (1–36 bits) and depths (128–4096), supporting simultaneous read/write operations essential for FIFOs, frame buffers, and data coalescing pipelines.

Is XCV400E-7BG560C pin-compatible with other Virtex-E devices in the BG560 package?

XCV400E-7BG560C is pin-compatible with other Virtex-E devices offered in the BG560 package-including XCV300E-7BG560C and XCV600E-7BG560C-as confirmed in DS022-4 Pinout Tables. However, I/O banking assignments, VCCO/VREF pin allocations, and dedicated function pin usage (e.g., GCLK locations) vary by device density and must be verified per design.
