XCV100E-6FG256C

The XCV100E-6FG256C is a Virtex®-E series field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 256-ball BGA package designed for commercial embedded and communications applications. It provides a compact, surface-mount FPGA solution with a high I/O count and on-chip programmable logic suitable for implementing custom interfaces, memory controllers, and system glue logic.

Configured for 1.8 V core operation and RoHS compliance, this device balances moderate logic density with substantial I/O connectivity and embedded RAM to support diverse system-level functions in space-constrained designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 2,700 logic elements and 128,236 equivalent gates for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — Total on-chip RAM of 81,920 bits (approximately 0.08 Mbits) to support buffers, FIFOs and small data stores.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility — 176 user I/Os that support a wide range of single-ended and differential signaling standards (series documentation highlights LVDS, BLVDS and LVPECL support at the family level).
• Package and Mounting — 256-ball FBGA (17 × 17) package in a surface-mount form factor for board-level integration where space and signal routing density matter.
• Power and Voltage — Core supply specified from 1.71 V to 1.89 V (1.8 V nominal), enabling lower-power logic operation compared with older 2.5 V families.
• Operating Range — Commercial grade temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C suitable for standard embedded and communications equipment.
• Configuration and Ecosystem (series) — Virtex-E family documentation describes SRAM-based in-system reprogrammability and support from Xilinx development tools for design implementation and iteration.
• Compliance and Reliability — RoHS-compliant manufacturing and 100% factory-tested devices as documented for the Virtex-E family.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications — Implement protocol logic, serializers/deserializers, and custom interface bridging using the device’s high I/O count and family-level support for differential standards.
• Memory interface controllers — Use on-chip logic and embedded RAM to build SRAM or SDRAM interface logic and buffering for mid-range memory systems.
• PCI and bus-based systems — The Virtex-E family documentation includes PCI-compliant capabilities; this device can be applied where PCI-compatible logic and glue are required.
• Embedded control and prototyping — Rapidly iterate FPGA-based control logic, algorithm acceleration, or system prototyping leveraging in-system reprogrammability.

Unique Advantages

• High I/O density: 176 user I/Os provide ample external connectivity for multi-channel interfaces and complex boards.
• Compact BGA package: 256-FBGA (17×17) delivers a small board footprint while maintaining routing density for high-pin-count designs.
• Low-voltage core: 1.8 V core supply reduces power consumption relative to higher-voltage families, benefiting thermal and power budgets.
• On-chip memory resources: Approximately 0.08 Mbits of embedded RAM supports local buffering and small data structures without external memory.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant: Manufactured to commercial specifications and RoHS-compliant for standard electronics applications.
• Reprogrammable architecture (series): SRAM-based in-system configuration documented for the Virtex-E family enables design updates and field revisions.
