XCV100-4FG256I

The XCV100-4FG256I is a Virtex® family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 256-BGA surface-mount package, offering mid-range logic capacity and on-chip memory for reprogrammable system designs. Its SRAM-based architecture supports in-system configuration and unlimited re-programmability, making it suitable for industrial and embedded applications that require field updates and flexible hardware functions.

Built from a high-density architecture optimized for place-and-route efficiency, the device provides a balance of performance and integration for applications that need substantial I/O, embedded RAM, and deterministic clock management within a compact 17×17 FBGA footprint.

Key Features

• Core logic — Approximately 2,700 logic elements (2,700 logic cells) and 108,904 system gates provide mid-range programmable capacity for combinational and sequential logic.
• Embedded memory — 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM support LUT-configurable RAM, dual-ported RAM and SelectRAM+ architectures for local buffering and storage.
• I/O density — 176 user I/O pins enable a wide range of external interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Clock management — Four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs) plus four primary low-skew global clock nets and 24 secondary local clock nets support precise clock distribution and low-skew timing architectures.
• Interface flexibility — Multi-standard SelectIO™ support with 16 high-performance interface standards and fast interfaces to external high-performance RAMs.
• Configuration — SRAM-based in-system configuration with unlimited re-programmability and four programming modes for flexible deployment and updates.
• Package & mounting — 256-BGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) surface-mount package for compact board integration.
• Power and thermal — Operating supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V and an industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Manufacturing and reliability — 0.22 µm, 5-layer metal process technology and 100% factory tested.
• Standards & testability — IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan support and a die-temperature sensor diode for system diagnostics.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control — Reprogrammable logic and on-chip RAM enable real-time control, sequencing and interface bridging in industrial equipment across an industrial temperature range.
• PCI and Compact PCI systems — Device features include PCI-compliant operation and hot-swappability characteristics referenced for Compact PCI environments.
• Board-level prototyping — SRAM-based in-system configuration and unlimited re-programmability support iterative hardware development and updates without board respins.
• High-density I/O bridging — 176 I/O pins and multi-standard SelectIO support are useful when implementing complex interface logic between subsystems and external memories.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable SRAM architecture: Allows unlimited in-system reconfiguration, enabling field updates and hardware iteration without replacing components.
• Balanced logic and memory: Combines roughly 2,700 logic elements with 40,960 bits of embedded RAM to implement both control logic and local data storage efficiently on a single device.
• Deterministic clocking: Four DLLs and dedicated global/local clock nets simplify timing design and support predictable system-level performance.
• High I/O count in a compact package: 176 I/Os in a 256-FBGA (17×17) footprint reduce board area while providing substantial external connectivity.
• Industrial-ready operating range: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C operation to meet many industrial deployment environments.
• Proven development support: Supported by established FPGA development systems and toolchains referenced for the Virtex family to accelerate bring-up and verification.
