AMD XCV800-4BG432I

Overview

XCV800-4BG432I from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 888,439 system gates, 21,168 logic cells in a 56×84 CLB array, and 316 user I/O pins in a 432-ball BGA package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (114,688 bits of block RAM + distributed LUT RAM), and supports 66-MHz PCI compliance and hot-swappable Compact PCI operation.

For engineers reviewing the XCV800-4BG432I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, DLL jitter specs, CLB timing parameters, and SelectIO™ standard compatibility for high-speed interface design and legacy Virtex migration planning.

Technical Context

The XCV800-4BG432I implements a hierarchical routing architecture with a General Routing Matrix (GRM), 24 local clock nets, and four primary low-skew global clock networks. Its CLBs contain dual-slice logic with 4-input LUTs configurable as 16-bit RAM, 32-bit RAM, 16-bit dual-ported RAM, or 16-bit shift register - each slice supporting independent synchronous/asynchronous set/reset and clock enable.

I/O functionality is organized into eight banks, each requiring shared VCCO and single VREF voltage; supported standards include LVTTL (5 V tolerant), HSTL Class IV (200 MHz), SSTL3, and GTL+, with per-pin programmable drive strength (up to 24 mA source / 48 mA sink) and slew rate control. Configuration occurs via master serial, slave serial, SelectMAP™, or JTAG modes using external PROM or host controller.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

Package: 432-ball Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (BG432), 35 mm × 35 mm, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant. Pinout follows Xilinx DS003-4 (v4.0) Module 4, with dedicated clock inputs (GCLK0–GCLK3), configuration pins (INIT, PROGRAM, CCLK, DIN, DOUT, DONE), JTAG boundary scan (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO), and eight I/O banks (Bank 0–7) arranged per device edge.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the XCV800-4BG432I?

The XCV800-4BG432I has a -4 speed grade specifying worst-case synchronous system clock rates up to 200 MHz, including I/O timing. This is validated for register-to-register paths and 66-MHz PCI-compliant interfaces. Actual achievable frequency depends on design complexity, placement, and routing; Table 2 in DS003-1 shows representative circuit delays ranging from 4.1 ns (parity tree) to 7.2 ns (adder) under worst-case conditions.

Does the XCV800-4BG432I support hot-swap operation in Compact PCI systems?

Yes, the XCV800-4BG432I is explicitly designed for hot-swappable Compact PCI applications. Its I/O structure, power sequencing behavior, and configuration architecture meet the electrical and timing requirements for insertion/removal while the backplane remains powered. This capability is documented in the "Features" section of DS003-1 (v4.0) and confirmed in the "Higher Performance" subsection.

How many block RAM resources does the XCV800-4BG432I provide?

The XCV800-4BG432I contains 28 block SelectRAM units, totaling 114,688 bits of dedicated synchronous dual-ported memory. Each block is 4,096 bits and configurable for independent port widths (1–16 bits) and depths (256–4096), enabling flexible FIFOs, dual-clock buffers, and lookup tables without consuming CLB resources.

What I/O standards are supported by the XCV800-4BG432I?

The XCV800-4BG432I supports 16 SelectIO™ standards including LVTTL (5 V tolerant), HSTL Class IV (200 MHz), SSTL3 Class I/II, GTL+, and PCI 3.3 V. Support is governed by I/O banking: each of eight banks requires shared VCCO and single VREF, with compatibility matrices defined in DS003-2 Table 2 for mixed-standard deployment.

Is the XCV800-4BG432I still in active production?

No, the XCV800-4BG432I is obsolete. DS003-1 (v4.0) states "The products listed in this data sheet are obsolete. See XCN10016 for further information." Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy inventory and supports lifecycle management, including cross-reference guidance and obsolescence mitigation planning for installed base systems.
