The XC2V1500-6FFG896C is a Virtex®-II series FPGA in an 896-FCBGA (31×31) surface-mount package, offering a high-density programmable logic fabric for commercial applications. This device integrates 1,500,000 system gates, 1,920 CLBs (17,280 logic elements) and approximately 0.885 Mbits of embedded RAM to support designs that require significant logic resources, on-chip memory and flexible I/O.

Designed as part of the Virtex-II platform, the device targets applications that demand high logic density, wide I/O capacity and programmable on-chip memory while operating within a commercial temperature range and standard supply voltage window.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 1,920 CLBs delivering 17,280 logic elements, providing substantial capacity for complex logic integration and system-level functions.
• On-Chip Memory — Approximately 0.885 Mbits of embedded RAM (884,736 total RAM bits) for data buffering, packet storage and small on-chip data structures.
• Arithmetic Resources — Includes the Virtex-II platform’s dedicated 18-bit × 18-bit multiplier blocks for efficient hardware multiplication and DSP-style operations.
• I/O Capacity — 528 user I/Os to accommodate wide bus interfaces, parallel peripherals and multi-channel I/O requirements.
• Clocking and Timing — Virtex-II clock management features such as Digital Clock Manager (DCM) and global clock multiplexing are part of the platform for flexible clocking and de-skew capabilities.
• Package & Mounting — 896-FCBGA (31×31) flip-chip BGA package, surface-mount mounting type, suitable for compact PCB designs.
• Power & Supply — Core supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match standard Virtex-II supply domains.
• Operating Range & Grade — Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑performance memory interfaces — Use the device’s logic and on-chip RAM to implement SDR/DDR or SRAM controller functions and memory buffering.
• Signal processing and DSP — Leverage the dedicated 18×18 multiplier blocks and abundant logic elements for arithmetic-intensive functions and custom DSP pipelines.
• Data path aggregation and bridging — 528 I/Os enable wide parallel interfaces and protocol bridging between disparate peripherals or subsystems.
• System integration and prototyping — Combine logic, RAM and clock-management resources to consolidate glue logic, control functions and custom accelerators onto a single FPGA.

Unique Advantages

• High-density logic in a compact package: 17,280 logic elements and 1,920 CLBs provide substantial integration capability while maintaining a 31×31 FCBGA footprint.
• Significant on-chip RAM: Approximately 0.885 Mbits of embedded memory reduces external memory dependence for many buffering and caching tasks.
• Large I/O complement: 528 user I/Os simplify system interfacing and allow for wide parallel buses without additional external multiplexing logic.
• Built for commercial deployments: Commercial temperature rating and RoHS compliance align the device with mainstream electronics production requirements.
• Platform-level clocking and DSP features: Virtex-II clock management and dedicated multipliers support precise timing control and efficient arithmetic implementations.
