XCV150-5FG256C

The XCV150-5FG256C is a Virtex® SRAM-based FPGA offering substantial programmable logic capacity and on-chip memory in a 256-ball FBGA package. Built on a 0.22 μm, 5-layer-metal process, this device targets high-performance, reprogrammable digital designs that require flexible I/O, embedded memory, and integrated clock management.

Key use cases include high-throughput system logic, interface bridging and protocol implementations, and in-system reconfigurable designs for commercial applications operating from 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 3,888 logic elements providing programmable resources for complex digital functions and custom logic implementation.
• On-chip Memory — 49,152 bits of embedded block RAM for buffering, FIFOs, and small data stores directly inside the FPGA fabric.
• I/O and Interfaces — 176 user I/O pins with multi-standard SelectIO support for a wide range of interface standards and direct connections to external memory devices.
• Clock Management — Four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs) plus multiple global and local clock distribution nets for advanced clock control and low-skew timing distribution.
• Arithmetic and Logic Support — Dedicated carry logic and multiplier support to accelerate arithmetic operations and DSP-style implementations.
• Flexible Memory Primitives — LUTs configurable as 16-bit/32-bit RAM, dual-ported RAM, or shift registers, and configurable synchronous 4k-bit RAM blocks for diverse memory architectures.
• Configuration and Reprogrammability — SRAM-based in-system configuration with four programming modes for unlimited re-programmability and on-board updates.
• Package and Power — Surface-mount 256-FBGA (17×17) package; nominal VCC range 2.375 V to 2.625 V suitable for designs targeting the Virtex 2.5 V family.
• Test and Reliability — 100% factory tested; commercial-grade specification with operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.

Typical Applications

• PCI and CompactPCI Systems — Implements protocol logic and bridging functions; datasheet notes 66-MHz PCI compliance and hot-swappable CompactPCI support.
• High-performance System Logic — Custom datapath, control logic and arithmetic acceleration using dedicated carry chains and multiplier resources.
• In-system Reconfigurable Designs — Field updates and iterative development benefitting from SRAM-based configuration and multiple programming modes.
• Memory Interface Controllers — Fast interfaces to external high-performance RAMs and abundant on-chip RAM for buffering and temporary storage.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Gate Count: 164,674 system gates and 3,888 logic elements deliver sizable programmable capacity for mid-range designs.
• Integrated Clock Control: Four DLLs and multiple global/local clock nets simplify clock-tree design and reduce skew across the FPGA fabric.
• Flexible I/O Standards: Multi-standard SelectIO support enables direct interfacing to a variety of external components and memory devices.
• Configurable Memory Primitives: LUTs and dedicated RAM blocks that can be configured in multiple RAM and shift-register modes lower external memory requirements.
• SRAM-based Reprogrammability: Unlimited in-system reprogramming supports design iteration and feature updates without hardware changes.
• Compact, Surface-mount Package: 256-ball FBGA (17×17) offers a high-density package suitable for space-constrained PCBs.
