XC2V1500-4FFG896C

The XC2V1500-4FFG896C is a Virtex®-II series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offered in an 896-ball flip-chip BGA (31×31) package for surface-mount assembly. It delivers high logic capacity and embedded memory with flexible I/O and clocking features suitable for commercial-grade applications requiring complex programmable logic and advanced memory interfaces.

Designed to support high-density logic, on-chip RAM, and a large I/O count, this device is aimed at applications such as memory interface controllers, data-path acceleration, and system-level glue logic where integration and reprogrammability are key.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 17,280 logic elements and 1,500,000 system gates provide ample resources for medium- to high-complexity designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.885 Mbits of on-chip RAM (884,736 bits) in block SelectRAM resources for data buffering, FIFOs, and state storage.
• High I/O Count  528 user I/Os enable wide parallel interfaces and dense connectivity to external devices and memory.
• Multipliers and Arithmetic  Series-level support for dedicated 18-bit × 18-bit multiplier blocks for efficient arithmetic and DSP implementations.
• Clock Management  Digital Clock Manager (DCM) circuitry (as provided in the Virtex-II platform) supports precise clock de-skew, frequency synthesis and phase shifting for robust timing control.
• SelectRAM and Memory Hierarchy  SelectRAM™ block resources and distributed RAM support complex memory architectures and fast on-chip storage.
• Configurable I/O Technology  SelectIO™-style functionality: multiple single-ended and differential I/O standards and programmable I/O characteristics to support diverse signaling requirements.
• Power and Supply  Specified core voltage range: 1.425 V to 1.575 V.
• Package and Mounting  896-FCBGA (31×31) package case; surface-mount mounting type for PCB assembly.
• Commercial Grade Temperature Range  Rated for 0°C to 85°C operation.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface Controllers  Use the device’s SelectRAM resources and high I/O count to implement SDR/DDR and SRAM interface logic for memory controllers and buffer engines.
• Data Path Acceleration  Leverage the dedicated multiplier blocks and abundant logic elements for arithmetic-heavy signal processing and data-path acceleration tasks.
• High-Density Glue Logic  High logic capacity and wide I/O enable consolidation of multiple glue-logic functions and bus translation in embedded systems.

Unique Advantages

• High Integration: Combining roughly 17,280 logic elements with nearly 0.885 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces the need for external logic and discrete memory components.
• Flexible I/O and Signaling: 528 user I/Os provide extensive connectivity options for parallel interfaces and memory buses, simplifying board-level routing and system partitioning.
• Dedicated Arithmetic Resources: Built-in 18×18 multiplier blocks accelerate implementation of DSP and arithmetic functions without consuming general-purpose logic.
• Robust Clock Management: On-chip clock management capabilities (DCM) enable refined timing control for multi-clock systems and high-performance data paths.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Commercial operating range (0°C to 85°C) and RoHS compliance meet standard commercial product requirements.
• Surface-Mount BGA Packaging: 896-FCBGA (31×31) package offers a high-pin-count, compact footprint suitable for dense PCB layouts.
