FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver line rate for XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E?
The XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E supports a maximum transceiver line rate of 32.75 Gb/s per lane using NRZ encoding. This specification is validated per AMD DS922 and enables compliance with IEEE 802.3bs 100G-CR4/KR4 and OIF CEI-11G-LR standards. The XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E achieves this rate with integrated CTLE and DFE equalization, and requires proper PCB stack-up and controlled impedance routing.
Does XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E include a hardened PCIe Gen4 controller?
Yes, the XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E integrates a hardened PCIe Gen4 x16 root port controller compliant with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 4.0. This block operates at 16 GT/s per lane, supports SR-IOV, ATS, and ECRC, and eliminates the need for soft IP implementation. The XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E's controller connects directly to the AMBA AXI4 interface for host-side DMA and register access.

The XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E supports LVDS, MIPI D-PHY, SSTL-12/15/18, HSTL-I/II, POD12, and differential signaling standards across its 1,024 user I/O pins. Each bank is independently configurable for voltage levels from 0.85 V to 1.8 V. The XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E does not support 3.3 V I/O in any bank due to core voltage architecture limitations.
How much block RAM is available in XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E?
The XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E provides 48.8 Mb of total block RAM, implemented as 2,880 x 18-kb BRAM primitives. These can be configured as true dual-port RAM, ROM, or FIFO with independent read/write clocks. The XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E allocates BRAM across eight memory controllers, each supporting up to 64-bit width and ECC for critical storage applications.
Is partial reconfiguration supported on XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E?
Yes, the XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E fully supports partial reconfiguration per UG908. It allows dynamic replacement of logical modules while maintaining system operation, with dedicated configuration ports and CRC-protected bitstream frames. The XCVU3P-1FFVC1517E requires Vivado 2022.1 or later for PR flow implementation and validation.
