AMD XCV600-6HQ240C

Overview

XCV600-6HQ240C 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 for high-speed embedded control and interface bridging applications.

For engineers reviewing the XCV600-6HQ240C 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 XCV600-6HQ240C implements a hierarchical routing architecture with General Routing Matrix (GRM), VersaRing I/O interconnect, and dedicated horizontal bus lines per CLB row. Its CLBs contain two slices each with four 4-input LUTs, carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19-input logic, and dual-port synchronous storage elements.

IOBs support 16 SelectIO™ standards-including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, HSTL Class IV, SSTL3, and GTL+-with banked VCCO/VREF constraints, programmable slew rate, drive strength up to 24 mA source / 48 mA sink, and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan. Configuration occurs via master serial, slave serial, SelectMAP™, or JTAG modes using external PROM or host controller.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XCV600-6HQ240C?

The XCV600-6HQ240C is rated for commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C ambient), with maximum junction temperature of +100°C under specified thermal conditions. Its HQ240 package has θJA = 28°C/W; maintaining Tj ≤ 100°C requires ≤ 2.1 W power dissipation with 200 LFM airflow and 4-layer PCB with thermal vias. Derating applies above 70°C ambient.

Does XCV600-6HQ240C support JTAG boundary scan for production testing?

Yes, XCV600-6HQ240C fully complies with IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan architecture. Pins TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO implement mandatory test access port functionality, enabling board-level interconnect testing, in-system programming, and debug visibility. BSDL files for XCV600-6HQ240C are available in Xilinx Answer Record AR# 11221.

Can XCV600-6HQ240C interface directly with 5 V TTL logic?

No, XCV600-6HQ240C IOBs are not 5 V tolerant in output mode. While LVTTL inputs are 5 V tolerant (per Table 1 in DS003-2), outputs must be driven at VCCO = 3.3 V max. Direct connection to 5 V loads requires level-shifting buffers or open-drain configurations with external pull-ups to 5 V - never direct drive.

How many DLLs does XCV600-6HQ240C include, and what clock frequencies do they support?

XCV600-6HQ240C integrates four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs), each supporting input frequencies from 10 MHz to 200 MHz. They provide zero-delay buffering, duty-cycle correction, and phase shifting - essential for synchronizing PCI, SDRAM, and high-speed I/O interfaces. DLL lock time is typically 50 μs after power-on or reset.

Is XCV600-6HQ240C still in active production or subject to obsolescence?

XCV600-6HQ240C is marked "Product Obsolete/Under Obsolescence" per DS003-1 (v4.0, March 2013). Xilinx discontinued manufacturing in 2013; Aetrix Electronics supplies remaining factory-new stock with full traceability and extended lifecycle support, including bitstream compatibility assurance and migration path guidance to Spartan-7 or Artix-7 families.
