AMD XCV800-6BG432C

Overview

XCV800-6BG432C 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 (including 114,688-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 XCV800-6BG432C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O banking constraints, DLL jitter specs, SelectIO™ standard compatibility (LVTTL, HSTL Class IV, SSTL3), and CLB-level timing parameters for synchronous register-to-register paths up to 200 MHz.

Technical Context

The XCV800-6BG432C 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 CLBs contain dual-slice logic cells with 4-input LUTs, dedicated carry chains, F5/F6 multiplexers for 5–19 input functions, and BUFTs for internal 3-state bus driving.

I/O functionality is organized into eight independent banks, each requiring shared VCCO and (where applicable) a single VREF voltage. Supported standards include LVTTL (5 V tolerant), HSTL Class IV (200 MHz), SSTL3 Class I/II, and GTL/GTL+, with per-pin programmable drive strength (up to 24 mA source / 48 mA sink) and slew control.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

The XCV800-6BG432C is housed in a 432-ball fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (BG432) package with 316 user I/O pins distributed across eight I/O banks. Each bank requires dedicated VCCO and (if needed) a shared VREF supply; no VCCO or VREF pins are shared between banks.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the XCV800-6BG432C?

The XCV800-6BG432C achieves synchronous system clock rates up to 200 MHz, including I/O timing, under worst-case conditions (2.5 V, 85°C, speed grade -6). This performance is validated across register-to-register paths and supported by DLL compensation for clock skew. Actual achievable frequency depends on design placement and routing, but representative circuits like pipelined multipliers and address decoders meet sub-6 ns delays per DS003-1.

Does the XCV800-6BG432C support hot-swap functionality?

Yes, the XCV800-6BG432C supports hot-swapping for Compact PCI applications. Its I/O structure, combined with DLL-controlled timing and IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan, ensures safe insertion and removal while powered. The device complies with Compact PCI hot-swap specifications, including controlled power sequencing and signal integrity during transition states.

How many block RAMs does the XCV800-6BG432C contain?

The XCV800-6BG432C contains 28 block SelectRAM memory units, each providing 4,096 bits of synchronous dual-ported RAM, totaling 114,688 bits. These blocks support independent read/write operations on two ports with configurable data widths (1–16 bits) and depths (256–4096), enabling efficient FIFOs, coefficient tables, and buffer memory in DSP and communications designs.

What I/O standards are supported by the XCV800-6BG432C?

The XCV800-6BG432C supports 16 SelectIO™ standards including LVTTL (5 V tolerant), HSTL Class IV (200 MHz), SSTL3 Class I/II, LVCMOS2, PCI 3.3 V, GTL, GTL+, and CTT. Each I/O bank requires uniform VCCO and - where needed - a shared VREF voltage. Compatibility is governed by Table 2 in DS003-2, with GTL/GTL+ usable across all VCCO voltages due to open-drain outputs.

Is the XCV800-6BG432C still in production?

No, the XCV800-6BG432C is obsolete. Per DS003-1 (v4.0) dated March 1, 2013, all Virtex devices listed in that datasheet - including XCV800-6BG432C - are marked "Product Obsolete/Under Obsolescence." Xilinx issued discontinuation notice XCN10016. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy inventory with full traceability and supports lifecycle management for existing designs.
