AMD XCV800-6FG680C

Overview

XCV800-6FG680C 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 512 user I/O pins in a 680-ball Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package. It features four delay-locked loops (DLLs), hierarchical memory (including 114,688 bits of block SelectRAM), and supports 66-MHz PCI-compliant interfaces for high-speed embedded control and digital signal processing applications.

For engineers reviewing the XCV800-6FG680C 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-6 to newer families - all grounded in DS003-1 (v4.0) and DS003-4 documentation.

Technical Context

The XCV800-6FG680C implements a hierarchical routing architecture with General Routing Matrix (GRM), VersaRing I/O ring, and dedicated horizontal bus lines per CLB row. Its CLBs contain four logic cells each, with dual-slice structure supporting 4-input LUTs configurable as 16-bit RAM, 32-bit RAM, or 16-bit shift registers.

It uses eight I/O banks with independent VCCO and VREF supply domains; each bank supports mixed I/O standards only if sharing the same VCCO voltage (e.g., LVTTL and PCI at 3.3 V), and input standards requiring VREF (e.g., HSTL Class I) must share one VREF per bank. The device includes die-temperature sensor diode and IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan logic.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency supported by XCV800-6FG680C?

XCV800-6FG680C supports synchronous system clock rates up to 200 MHz, including I/O paths. This is guaranteed under worst-case timing conditions for the -6 speed grade, as validated by Xilinx's internal benchmarking of register-to-register paths (5.0 ns), pipelined multipliers (6.0 ns), and address decoders (4.4 ns). Actual performance depends on design placement and routing.

Does XCV800-6FG680C support hot-swapping in Compact PCI systems?

Yes, XCV800-6FG680C is explicitly designed for hot-swappable Compact PCI applications. Its I/O architecture meets Compact PCI hot-swap requirements, including controlled power-up sequencing and I/O pin behavior during insertion/removal. This capability is documented in DS003-1 (v4.0) Section "Features" and confirmed in the "Higher Performance" subsection.

How many block RAMs does XCV800-6FG680C contain, and what are their configurations?

XCV800-6FG680C contains 28 block SelectRAMs totaling 114,688 bits. Each block is a fully synchronous dual-ported 4096-bit RAM with independently configurable port widths (1–16 bits) and depths (4096–256), supporting true dual-port operation for applications like ping-pong buffering and coefficient storage in DSP pipelines.

What I/O standards are supported by XCV800-6FG680C, and how are they grouped?

XCV800-6FG680C supports 16 SelectIO™ standards including LVTTL, HSTL Class I/III/IV, SSTL2/3, GTL/GTL+, and PCI (3.3 V and 5 V tolerant). These are grouped into eight I/O banks - four per side - where each bank requires shared VCCO and VREF voltages. Compatible standards per bank are defined by VCCO level (e.g., 3.3 V banks support LVTTL, PCI, SSTL3).

Is XCV800-6FG680C still in production, and what is its obsolescence status?

XCV800-6FG680C is obsolete per Xilinx documentation (DS003-1 v4.0, March 2013), with end-of-life declared and no new manufacturing. Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers lifecycle coordination support, including cross-reference guidance to Virtex-II Pro or Kintex-7 alternatives where functionally appropriate.
