Product details
Overview
XCV50E-7PQ240I from Xilinx is a 1.8 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array with 20,736 logic cells, 176 user I/O pins in PQ240 package, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C). It delivers 130 MHz internal performance (four LUT levels), supports LVDS/BLVDS/LVPECL differential I/O up to 622 Mb/s, and integrates eight digital Delay-Locked Loops for clock management - used in high-speed communication interface design and embedded signal processing.
For engineers reviewing the XCV50E-7PQ240I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 1.8 V core voltage, PCI-compliant 3.3 V I/O, 8 DLLs, 65,536-bit block RAM, and support for source-synchronous data transmission at up to 240 MHz system clock rate.
Technical Context
The XCV50E-7PQ240I implements a regular CLB array (16 × 24) with four logic cells per CLB, each containing dual 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, and configurable flip-flops/latches with independent clock enable and synchronous/asynchronous set/reset. Its IOBs support 20 I/O standards including LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, and differential LVDS, with VCCO-supplied input buffers and banked VREF routing.
It features eight fully digital DLLs enabling zero-delay clock conversion, 50% duty cycle synthesis for DDR, and frequency multiplication up to 4×. The device uses a 0.18 μm 6-layer metal CMOS process, includes die-temperature sensor diode, IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan, and supports master serial, slave serial, SelectMAP™, and JTAG configuration modes.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum supported clock frequency for XCV50E-7PQ240I using its internal DLLs?
XCV50E-7PQ240I supports input clock frequencies up to 300+ MHz on LVPECL/LVDS inputs, with DLLs capable of 4× frequency multiplication. The device achieves synchronous system clock rates up to 240 MHz including I/O, verified under worst-case timing conditions per DS022-3 switching characteristics tables.
Does XCV50E-7PQ240I support PCI 66 MHz operation?
Yes, XCV50E-7PQ240I is PCI-compliant for both 32/64-bit, 33 MHz and 66 MHz operation at 3.3 V. Its I/O structure meets PCI specification requirements, and the –7 speed grade ensures timing closure for 66 MHz address/data strobe cycles in master and target roles.
How many differential I/O pairs does XCV50E-7PQ240I support in the PQ240 package?
XCV50E-7PQ240I supports 83 differential I/O pairs in the PQ240 package, as confirmed in Table 1 of DS022-1. This enables up to 166 pins dedicated to LVDS, BLVDS, or LVPECL signaling - critical for high-bandwidth point-to-point links.
Is XCV50E-7PQ240I pin-compatible with earlier Virtex devices?
No, XCV50E-7PQ240I is not pin-compatible with original Virtex devices. While same-package Virtex-E and Virtex parts share physical pin locations, differences in banking rules, VCCO/VREF assignment, and I/O buffer power domains require PCB redesign. Migration must follow Xilinx's Virtex-E pinout tables, not legacy Virtex layouts.
What configuration modes are supported by XCV50E-7PQ240I?
XCV50E-7PQ240I supports master serial (via external SPROM), slave serial, SelectMAP™ parallel, and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG configuration modes. All modes load SRAM-based configuration bitstream; JTAG is used for boundary scan testing and in-system programming without requiring external PROM.
