AMD XCV600-5HQ240I

Overview

XCV600-5HQ240I from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 661,111 system gates, 15,552 logic cells in a 48×72 CLB array, and 512 maximum user I/O pins in a 240-pin High Heat Dissipation QFP package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (including 98,304-bit block RAM and LUT-based RAM/shift register modes), and supports 66-MHz PCI compliance and hot-swappable Compact PCI operation.

For engineers reviewing the XCV600-5HQ240I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, DLL jitter specs, CLB timing parameters, and migration guidance from Virtex family documentation DS003-1 through DS003-4 (v4.0, March 2013).

Technical Context

The XCV600-5HQ240I implements a hierarchical routing architecture with General Routing Matrix (GRM), local VersaBlock interconnect, and peripheral VersaRing I/O routing - enabling high routability for complex synchronous designs up to 200 MHz. Its CLBs contain dual-slice logic cells with 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19 input functions, and configurable storage elements with independent clock enable, synchronous/asynchronous set/reset.

I/O functionality is organized into eight banks, each requiring shared VCCO and (where applicable) single VREF voltage; supported standards include LVTTL (5 V tolerant), LVCMOS2, PCI 3.3 V, HSTL Class I/III/IV, SSTL2/3, GTL/GTL+, and CTT. Each IOB includes input/output flip-flops with programmable delays, weak-keeper circuits, and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the XCV600-5HQ240I?

The XCV600-5HQ240I achieves synchronous system clock rates up to 200 MHz, including I/O timing, as confirmed in DS003-1 Table 2. This applies to register-to-register paths and I/O interfaces compliant with PCI 66 MHz and HSTL Class IV standards. Actual frequency depends on design complexity, placement, and routing; the -5 speed grade guarantees worst-case timing parameters such as 5.0 ns register-to-register delay.

Does the XCV600-5HQ240I support hot-swap operation?

Yes, the XCV600-5HQ240I supports hot-swappable operation for Compact PCI systems, as explicitly stated in DS003-1 Features section. This capability relies on its robust I/O structure, programmable pull-up/pull-down resistors, and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan logic - enabling safe insertion/removal while the backplane remains powered.

How many block RAMs does the XCV600-5HQ240I contain?

The XCV600-5HQ240I contains 24 block SelectRAM units, totaling 98,304 bits of dedicated synchronous dual-ported RAM (DS003-2 Table 3). Each block is 4,096 bits and configurable for independent read/write widths (e.g., 16×256, 32×128), supporting efficient FIFO, buffer, and lookup table implementations without consuming CLB resources.

What I/O standards are supported by the XCV600-5HQ240I?

The XCV600-5HQ240I supports 16 SelectIO™ standards including LVTTL (5 V tolerant), LVCMOS2, PCI 3.3 V, HSTL Class I/III/IV, SSTL2/3 Classes I & II, GTL/GTL+, CTT, and AGP (DS003-2 Table 1). Support is implemented per I/O bank, with VCCO and VREF constraints dictating allowable standard combinations within each bank.

Is the XCV600-5HQ240I still in production?

No - the XCV600-5HQ240I is obsolete, as confirmed in DS003-1 Revision History (v4.0, March 2013): "The products listed in this data sheet are obsolete. See XCN10016 for further information." Aetrix Electronics provides legacy supply chain support, including traceable sourcing and lifecycle coordination, for continued use in existing designs.
