Product details

Overview

XCV50-5TQ144C from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 57,906 system gates, 1,728 logic cells in a 16×24 CLB array, and 98 user I/O pins in a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), supports 66-MHz PCI compliance, and operates at up to 200 MHz system performance for high-speed digital logic implementation in embedded control and communications interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the XCV50-5TQ144C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, SelectIO™ standard support, block RAM configuration options, and timing-critical design considerations for legacy Virtex-family integration and obsolescence-aware migration planning.

Technical Context

The XCV50-5TQ144C implements a hierarchical routing architecture with a General Routing Matrix (GRM), local VersaBlock interconnect, and peripheral VersaRing I/O routing - enabling pin-locking and logic-to-PCB co-design. Its CLBs contain four logic cells each, with dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19-input functions, and LUTs configurable as 16-bit RAM, 32-bit RAM, dual-ported RAM, or 16-bit shift registers.

It integrates eight 4,096-bit synchronous dual-ported Block SelectRAMs (32,768 total bits), four primary low-skew global clock nets plus 24 secondary local clock nets, and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan logic. I/O banks enforce strict VCCO/VREF voltage grouping: TQ144 package ties all VCCO pins internally, requiring single-supply operation across all I/O banks.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
System Gates	57,906 - defines logic capacity for gate-equivalent synthesis targeting ASIC replacement or custom digital logic.
Logic Cells	1,728 - CLB count (16×24 array); each CLB contains four logic cells with independent flip-flops and carry logic.
User I/O Pins	98 - maximum available bidirectional I/O in TQ144 package; excludes dedicated clock pins and configuration pins.
Block RAM	32,768 bits - eight 4k-bit dual-ported synchronous RAM blocks, configurable for depth/width trade-offs (e.g., 256×16 or 1024×4).
Speed Grade	-5 - guarantees worst-case timing performance meeting 200 MHz system clock rate with DLL compensation.
I/O Standards	LVTTL, LVCMOS2, PCI 3.3 V, SSTL3, HSTL Class I/III/IV - supported via SelectIO™ with bank-specific VCCO/VREF requirements.
Configuration Mode	Master Serial, Slave Serial, SelectMAP™, JTAG - SRAM-based bitstream loading with unlimited reprogrammability.

Pinout & Package

Package: 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQ144), 0.5 mm pitch, body size 20×20 mm, lead-free compatible (per Xilinx DS003-4 v4.0). All VCCO pins are internally bonded - requires single 2.5 V supply across entire I/O bank set.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
GCLK0–GCLK3	Global Clock Input	Dedicated low-skew inputs feeding four DLLs; must be driven by external clock source or PLL output.
IO_LxxN/IO_LxxP	Configurable I/O Bank Pin	Paired differential-capable pins grouped into eight banks; each bank requires common VCCO and optional shared VREF.
M0–M2	Mode Selection	Three-pin strap defining configuration mode (e.g., Master Serial = 000); sampled at power-up reset.
CCLK	Configuration Clock	Output during master serial mode; input during slave serial/SelectMAP™; controls bitstream load timing.
DIN/DOUT	Configuration Data	Serial data input (DIN) and optional readback output (DOUT) used in JTAG and serial configuration modes.
TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO	JTAG Boundary Scan	IEEE 1149.1 test access port; enables in-system programming, verification, and debug without external hardware.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Dual-Port Block RAM	Eight 4k-bit RAM blocks with independent read/write clocks, addresses, and enables - enables FIFOs, ping-pong buffers, and memory-mapped peripherals.
SelectIO™ Interface	Support for 16 I/O standards including LVTTL, SSTL3, HSTL, and GTL+ - allows direct interfacing to DDR SDRAM, PCI slots, and high-speed SERDES PHYs.
Dedicated Carry Logic	Two per CLB slice with two-bit height - enables high-speed arithmetic (e.g., 32-bit adders) without LUT resource consumption or routing delay penalty.
Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs)	Four independent DLLs with zero-delay clock deskew - eliminates clock skew between I/O and core logic, critical for source-synchronous interfaces like QDR SRAM.
Configurable LUT RAM	Each 4-input LUT usable as 16×1-bit RAM, 16×2-bit RAM, or 16-bit shift register - provides distributed memory for state machines, pattern matching, or pipeline staging.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based logic implementation applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
XCV50-6TQ144C	Faster speed grade (-6 vs. -5); achieves 225 MHz max system clock vs. 200 MHz; identical pinout and logic resources.	Required where setup/hold margins are marginal in high-frequency PCI or source-synchronous interfaces.	Select only if timing closure fails with -5 grade; no PCB change needed but higher power and cost.
XCV100-5TQ144C	Higher density (108,904 gates, 2,700 logic cells); same TQ144 package and speed grade; adds 8 more Block RAMs (40,960 bits).	Suitable when design scales beyond XCV50 capacity but board space and I/O count remain constrained.	Drop-in upgrade path if additional logic or memory is required; shares identical footprint and thermal profile.

Compared with XCV50-5TQ144C, the -6 variant improves timing margin without altering logic or I/O structure, while XCV100-5TQ144C extends capacity within the same package - both preserve compatibility for incremental design evolution under obsolescence pressure.

Manufacturer

Xilinx, Inc. is a pioneering FPGA and adaptive computing solutions provider, acquired by AMD in 2022. It developed foundational programmable logic architectures widely adopted in aerospace, defense, and telecommunications.

The Virtex family - including XCV50-5TQ144C - was engineered for high-performance, high-density logic replacement of mask-programmed gate arrays, emphasizing place-and-route efficiency, clock management, and multi-standard I/O flexibility in 0.22 µm CMOS.

FAQ

Is XCV50-5TQ144C still in production or considered obsolete?

XCV50-5TQ144C is officially obsolete per Xilinx documentation (DS003-1 v4.0, March 2013) and superseded by newer Virtex families. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains traceable inventory and offers extended lifecycle support, including last-time-buy coordination and cross-reference guidance for migration paths such as Spartan-6 or Artix-7 equivalents.

What configuration modes does XCV50-5TQ144C support?

XCV50-5TQ144C supports four configuration modes: Master Serial (internal PROM boot), Slave Serial (external controller-driven), SelectMAP™ (parallel 8-/16-bit bus), and JTAG (boundary-scan programming). Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up, and all modes retain full SRAM-based reprogrammability without device cycling.

Can XCV50-5TQ144C interface directly with 3.3 V PCI slots?

Yes - XCV50-5TQ144C is 66-MHz PCI compliant and supports PCI 3.3 V signaling via its SelectIO™ I/O buffers. It requires VCCO = 3.3 V on applicable I/O banks and uses dedicated PCI-compatible termination; however, it is not 5 V tolerant in this mode, so external level-shifting is needed for legacy 5 V PCI environments.

How many clock regions and DLLs are available in XCV50-5TQ144C?

XCV50-5TQ144C provides four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs) and four primary low-skew global clock distribution nets, plus 24 secondary local clock nets. Each DLL drives one global clock net, enabling independent phase alignment for multiple clock domains - essential for source-synchronous interfaces like QDR SRAM or video pixel clocks.

Does XCV50-5TQ144C include on-die temperature sensing?

No - die-temperature sensor diode functionality is documented for larger Virtex devices (XCV200 and above) but is not implemented in XCV50-5TQ144C. Thermal monitoring must be performed externally using ambient sensors or IR measurement, as the XCV50 lacks integrated thermal diode circuitry per DS003-2 v4.0 architectural description.
