Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,912 logic elements (logic cells) enabling mid-range custom logic implementations and glue-logic consolidation.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.59 Mbits of on-chip RAM (589,824 total RAM bits) for buffering, FIFOs and small shared memories.
• Dedicated Arithmetic Blocks — Includes dedicated 18-bit × 18-bit multiplier resources for hardware-accelerated DSP and signal processing functions.
• I/O Resources — 172 user I/O pins supporting high-density external interfacing and protocol bridging needs.
• Clock and Timing — Digital Clock Manager (DCM) functionality from the Virtex‑II family for precise clock de-skew, frequency synthesis and phase control.
• Routing and Architecture — Virtex‑II platform routing and architecture features for predictable routing delay and scalable design implementation.
• Package and Mounting — 256-ball fine-pitch BGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount package for compact board integration.
• Electrical — Core supply range specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V for device power planning.
• Operating Range — Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Gate Count — 500,000 system gates to size overall design scale and resource planning.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface & Controller Design — High-performance interfaces to external memory (SDR/DDR, SRAM families) using on-chip logic and dedicated timing resources for data path control and buffering.
• Signal Processing & DSP Blocks — Use of 18×18 multipliers and embedded RAM to implement arithmetic-heavy datapaths, filters and acceleration blocks.
• Protocol Bridging & High‑Speed I/O — 172 I/Os and Virtex‑II SelectIO capabilities enable implementation of bus bridges, protocol adapters and I/O aggregation functions.
• Custom Control & Glue Logic — Consolidate discrete ASIC/PLD functions into a reprogrammable fabric to reduce BOM and simplify board design.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced integration: Logic, embedded RAM and multipliers in a single device reduce external component count and simplify board-level design.
• Deterministic timing support: Virtex‑II clock management (DCM) features help implement reliable, phase‑controlled clocking for synchronous systems.
• Compact footprint: 256-FBGA (17×17) package offers high I/O density in a small, surface-mount package for space-constrained applications.
• Commercial-ready: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for mainstream electronics products.
• Clear power envelope: Defined core supply range (1.425 V–1.575 V) simplifies power-supply selection and design validation.
• Proven platform features: Series-level Virtex‑II capabilities—such as block SelectRAM hierarchy and dedicated multipliers—support a wide range of embedded functions without speculative claims.
