Product details
Overview
XCV50-6PQ240C from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 57,906 system gates, 1,728 logic cells, 166 user I/O pins, and four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs) for advanced clock control - deployed in high-speed industrial control and PCI-compliant communication interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the XCV50-6PQ240C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its -6 speed grade (200 MHz system performance), PQ240 plastic quad flat pack package, 32,768-bit block RAM, 166 I/O count, and support for 16 SelectIO™ interface standards including LVTTL, HSTL Class IV, and SSTL2.
Technical Context
The XCV50-6PQ240C implements a hierarchical architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs) containing four logic cells each, dual-slice organization, and dedicated carry chains enabling high-speed arithmetic. Its CLBs integrate 4-input LUTs configurable as 16-bit RAM, 32-bit RAM, or 16-bit shift registers.
It features eight I/O banks supporting mixed voltage signaling standards via per-bank VCCO and VREF pins, IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan testability, and SRAM-based in-system reprogrammability across four configuration modes (master serial, slave serial, SelectMAP™, JTAG).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XCV50-5PQ240C | Slower -5 speed grade (180 MHz max system clock); identical logic density, I/O count, and package | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where 200 MHz timing margin is not required | Select when design meets timing at lower frequency and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| XCV100-6PQ240C | Higher density (108,904 system gates, 2,700 logic cells); same -6 speed grade and PQ240 package footprint | Required when additional logic resources or larger block RAM (40,960 bits) are needed for expanded functionality | Choose for design scalability - same PCB layout supports upgrade without redesign |
Compared with XCV50-6PQ240C, the XCV50-5PQ240C trades 20 MHz performance for lower cost and power, while the XCV100-6PQ240C retains identical timing and packaging but doubles logic capacity - enabling feature-rich derivatives on the same board.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the XCV50-6PQ240C?
The XCV50-6PQ240C has a -6 speed grade, guaranteeing synchronous system clock operation up to 200 MHz under worst-case timing conditions. This includes I/O paths compliant with 66-MHz PCI specifications and HSTL Class IV interfaces. Actual achievable frequency depends on design placement, routing, and logic depth - but the -6 rating ensures timing closure for high-throughput datapaths in the XCV50-6PQ240C.
Does the XCV50-6PQ240C support hot-swap functionality?
Yes, the XCV50-6PQ240C supports hot-swappable operation for Compact PCI systems, as confirmed in the Virtex family datasheet (DS003-1 v4.0). This capability relies on its robust I/O structure, programmable pull-up/down resistors, and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan logic - all implemented in the XCV50-6PQ240C to ensure safe insertion/removal without disrupting backplane power or signaling.
How much on-chip memory does the XCV50-6PQ240C provide?
The XCV50-6PQ240C integrates 32,768 bits of block SelectRAM memory across eight 4,096-bit dual-ported RAM blocks, plus distributed memory using LUTs configured as 16-bit RAM, 32-bit RAM, or 16-bit shift registers. This memory hierarchy in the XCV50-6PQ240C supports FIFOs, coefficient storage, and state buffering without external memory chips.
Is the XCV50-6PQ240C still in production?
No - the XCV50-6PQ240C is obsolete, as stated in DS003-1 v4.0 (March 2013): "The products listed in this data sheet are obsolete. See XCN10016 for further information." Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy inventory and supports lifecycle continuity planning for the XCV50-6PQ240C in installed base maintenance.
What configuration modes are supported by the XCV50-6PQ240C?
The XCV50-6PQ240C supports four configuration modes: master serial (loads bitstream from external PROM), slave serial (bitstream driven by external controller), SelectMAP™ (parallel synchronous loading via 8- or 16-bit bus), and JTAG (boundary-scan programming via TAP controller). All modes are fully implemented in the XCV50-6PQ240C silicon and documented in DS003-2.
