Key Features

• Logic Resources  Approximately 3,456 logic elements and 384 CLB units (per device specification), supporting up to 250,000 gates for custom digital logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.44 Mbits of on-chip RAM (442,368 total RAM bits) for data buffering, lookup tables, and tightly-coupled memory in custom architectures.
• Dedicated Arithmetic  Series-level Virtex®-II features include 18-bit × 18-bit multiplier blocks for arithmetic and DSP tasks (refer to device datasheet for block availability and configuration).
• I/O and Interface Capability  172 user I/Os in a fine-pitch 256-BGA package enable broad connectivity to external memory and peripheral devices; the platform supports high-performance memory interfaces at the series level.
• Clock and Timing  Virtex®-II family features include digital clock management and global clock resources to support precise clocking and frequency synthesis (see datasheet for DCM counts and configuration).
• Package & Mounting  256-FBGA (17 × 17) surface-mount package provides a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained boards.
• Power & Thermal  Core supply voltage range specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, aligned with commercial-grade system requirements.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant to support lead-free assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface and Bridge  Implement SDR/DDR and SRAM interface logic and custom memory controllers using the device's I/O count and the Virtex®-II platform memory features.
• Signal Processing and DSP Acceleration  Use dedicated multiplier blocks and embedded RAM to accelerate arithmetic-heavy workloads and streaming data tasks.
• Custom Control and Glue Logic  Replace multiple discrete components by implementing board-level control, protocol adaptation, and system glue logic inside the FPGA.
• Communications and Peripheral Interfaces  Deploy in commercial communications equipment that requires flexible I/O and the ability to implement high-speed interfaces and protocol engines.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, production-ready package  The 256-FBGA (17×17) package delivers a high I/O count in a compact surface-mount form factor that simplifies PCB routing for dense systems.
• Balanced on-chip resources  A mix of approximately 3,456 logic elements and ~0.44 Mbits of embedded RAM supports mid-density designs without excessive external memory dependency.
• Dedicated arithmetic support  Series-level 18×18 multipliers enable efficient implementation of DSP and compute kernels directly in fabric.
• Commercial temperature and supply compatibility  Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and a defined core voltage window (1.425–1.575 V), making it suitable for typical commercial embedded systems.
• Regulatory-friendly material  RoHS compliance helps streamline lead-free manufacturing and regulatory considerations.
