XC2V250-4FG456I

The XC2V250-4FG456I is an industrial-grade Virtex®-II field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 456-ball BGA package. Designed for mid-range system integration, it combines programmable logic, embedded RAM, and a high I/O count to address applications requiring on-chip memory, arithmetic acceleration and flexible interfacing.

Built on the Virtex-II platform, this device targets designs that need a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory and robust operating range while supporting platform-level features such as SelectRAM memory blocks, dedicated multipliers and digital clock management capabilities described for the Virtex-II family.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Provides 3,456 logic elements to implement mid-density logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.42 Mbits of on-chip RAM (442,368 total bits) suitable for buffering, FIFOs and small data stores.
• I/O Density — 200 user I/O pins to support a wide range of external interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Arithmetic Resources — Virtex-II platform includes dedicated 18×18 multipliers for efficient hardware arithmetic and DSP functions.
• Clock Management — Leverages Virtex-II Digital Clock Manager (DCM) capabilities for flexible clocking and phase control as provided by the platform.
• Power and Supply — Core voltage specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V for reliable operation within defined supply window.
• Package & Mounting — 456-ball BGA (supplier package: 456-FBGA, 23×23), surface-mount package optimized for compact, high-density PCB layouts.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40°C to 100°C, appropriate for industrial environment deployments.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed memory interfaces — Use the device’s embedded RAM and Virtex-II memory hierarchy to build SDR/DDR or other external memory interface logic and buffering.
• Signal processing and DSP — Dedicated 18×18 multipliers and on-chip RAM support filtering, encoding/decoding and other arithmetic-heavy functions.
• Industrial control and embedded systems — Industrial temperature rating and high I/O count make the device suitable for motor control, factory automation and sensor aggregation.
• Custom protocol bridging and I/O expansion — 200 I/Os enable protocol conversion, bus bridging and board-level glue logic where flexible I/O mapping is required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory — 3,456 logic elements paired with ~0.42 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces the need for external buffering for many mid-range designs.
• Robust industrial operation — Rated −40°C to 100°C, supporting reliable performance in industrial environments.
• High I/O integration — 200 user I/Os simplify board routing and reduce the number of external interface components.
• Platform-level design support — Benefits from Virtex-II platform capabilities such as SelectRAM, DCM and dedicated multipliers to accelerate implementation of common FPGA functions.
• Compact BGA footprint — 456-ball package allows dense PCB integration while maintaining ample I/O and internal resources.
• Standards-conscious supply — RoHS compliance supports modern manufacturing and regulatory requirements.
