AMD XCV800-5FG676C

Overview

XCV800-5FG676C from Xilinx is a 2.5 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 888,439 system gates, 21,168 logic cells, and 512 user I/O pins in a 676-ball fine-pitch BGA package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (including 114,688 bits of block SelectRAM), and supports 66-MHz PCI compliance and hot-swappable Compact PCI operation.

For engineers reviewing the XCV800-5FG676C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its -5 speed grade (guaranteed 200 MHz system performance), 0.22 μm 5-layer metal CMOS process, commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C), and support for 16 SelectIO™ interface standards including LVTTL, HSTL Class IV, and SSTL2.

Technical Context

The XCV800-5FG676C implements a hierarchical routing architecture with a General Routing Matrix (GRM), 24 local clock nets, and four primary low-skew global clock distribution networks. Its CLB array (56×84) integrates dedicated carry logic, F5/F6 multiplexers for wide-input functions, and dual-slice logic cells each containing two 4-input LUTs with RAM/shift-register capability.

Each IOB supports programmable input/output standards via independent VCCO and optional VREF per I/O bank, with 5 V-tolerant inputs for LVTTL/PCI and configurable drive strength (up to 24 mA source / 48 mA sink). Configuration occurs via master serial, slave serial, SelectMAP™, or JTAG modes using external PROM or host controller.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

The XCV800-5FG676C is housed in a 676-ball fine-pitch ball grid array (FG676) package with 35 mm × 35 mm body size, 1.0 mm ball pitch, and standard JEDEC MO-251AC footprint. Pin assignments follow Xilinx DS003-4 (v4.0) Module 4, with eight I/O banks supporting mixed-voltage signaling.

The Virtex family was designed as high-performance, high-capacity SRAM-based FPGAs targeting applications demanding advanced clock management, multi-standard I/O, and hierarchical memory - directly enabling reconfigurable computing platforms before ASIC prototyping.

FAQ

What is the maximum guaranteed operating frequency of the XCV800-5FG676C?

The XCV800-5FG676C carries a -5 speed grade rating, guaranteeing synchronous system clock performance up to 200 MHz under worst-case conditions including I/O timing. This is verified through Xilinx's characterization across voltage and temperature corners, and applies to register-to-register paths, carry chains, and I/O interfaces compliant with LVTTL, HSTL Class IV, and SSTL2 standards. The XCV800-5FG676C achieves this using four integrated DLLs for clock deskew and low-skew global routing networks.

Does the XCV800-5FG676C support hot-swap operation in Compact PCI systems?

Yes, the XCV800-5FG676C is explicitly designed for hot-swappable Compact PCI applications. Its I/O architecture meets the electrical and timing requirements defined in the PICMG 2.1 specification, including controlled slew rates, bus-hold functionality, and robust ESD protection. The device's 5 V-tolerant inputs (LVTTL, PCI 5 V) and programmable weak-keeper circuits ensure signal integrity during insertion/removal events without requiring external bus switches or level translators.

How much on-chip memory does the XCV800-5FG676C provide, and what types are available?

The XCV800-5FG676C provides two tiers of on-chip memory: 114,688 bits of block SelectRAM organized as 28 × 4,096-bit dual-ported RAM blocks, plus distributed memory from 4-input LUTs configurable as 16×1-bit RAM, 16×2-bit RAM, 32×1-bit RAM, or 16-bit shift registers. The block RAM supports independent read/write widths per port (e.g., 16-bit write / 32-bit read), enabling efficient data buffering and format conversion without external memory chips.

What I/O standards are supported by the XCV800-5FG676C, and how are they configured?

The XCV800-5FG676C supports 16 SelectIO™ standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS2, PCI (3.3 V and 5 V), HSTL Classes I/III/IV, SSTL2/SSTL3, GTL/GTL+, and CTT. Each I/O bank (eight total) uses dedicated VCCO and optional VREF pins; standards sharing the same VCCO (e.g., LVTTL and SSTL3 at 3.3 V) can coexist within one bank. Configuration is performed per-pin in the Xilinx Foundation or ISE toolchain using IOSTANDARD constraints and bank-level voltage assignments.

Is the XCV800-5FG676C still in active production, and what is its obsolescence status?

The XCV800-5FG676C is marked as obsolete/under obsolescence per Xilinx DS003-1 (v4.0) dated March 2013, with discontinuation confirmed in XCN10016. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers lifecycle management support - including last-time buy coordination, cross-reference guidance to Virtex-II or Spartan-6 alternatives, and engineering consultation for migration paths where direct replacement is not feasible.
