XCV50-4BG256C

The XCV50-4BG256C is an SRAM-based Virtex FPGA offering a balanced mix of logic capacity, on-chip memory and I/O density in a 256-ball BGA package. Built on the Virtex architecture, the device exposes approximately 1,728 logic elements, 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM and 180 user I/O pins, targeting commercial designs that require reprogrammable, high‑performance programmable logic.

Designed for applications that require flexible clocking, multi-standard interfaces and in-system reconfiguration, this Virtex device combines core FPGA features — including dedicated clock-management, configurable LUT-based memory and abundant registers — with a 2.375 V–2.625 V supply window and a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 1,728 logic elements and around 57,906 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic resources for glue logic, protocol handling and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory — 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM support block- and LUT-based memory structures for FIFOs, buffers and small on-chip storage.
• I/O Density & Interfaces — 180 user I/O pins in a 256-BBGA (256-PBGA, 27 × 27 mm) package enable dense board-level connectivity for parallel buses, peripheral interfaces and system I/O.
• Clocking & Timing — Built-in clock-management features (including multiple delay-locked loops and dedicated global clock nets as described in the Virtex family specification) support advanced clock control and low-skew distribution.
• Configuration & Reprogrammability — SRAM-based in-system configuration allows unlimited re-programmability and multiple programming modes for field updates and development iterations.
• Power & Supply — Operates from a core supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V, suitable for designs matching the Virtex 2.5 V family supply requirements.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount 256-BBGA package (256-PBGA, 27 × 27 mm) supports compact board integration and high pin-count designs.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for commercial applications; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking — Implement protocol translation, interface bridging or custom packet-processing logic using the device’s I/O density and reprogrammable logic.
• PCI and CompactPCI Systems — Suitable for designs that leverage the Virtex family’s support for PCI-compliant implementations and hot‑swappable CompactPCI architectures as described in the family specification.
• Embedded Systems & Prototyping — Reprogrammability and on-chip memory make the device useful for iterative hardware development, algorithm prototyping and embedded controller functions.
• Instrumentation & Test Equipment — Use the FPGA for data capture, pre‑processing and custom timing control where flexible logic and deterministic I/O are required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — The combination of approximately 1,728 logic elements and 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM supports mid-density designs without external memory for many control and buffering tasks.
• High I/O Count in Compact Package — 180 user I/O pins in a 27 × 27 mm 256-BBGA deliver significant connectivity while conserving board area.
• Reprogrammable SRAM Architecture — In-system configurability enables field updates and iterative development flows, reducing time-to-market for evolving designs.
• Advanced Clock Management — Dedicated DLLs and hierarchical clock resources (as provided by the Virtex family) simplify multi-clock-domain designs and reduce clock skew concerns.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability — Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for standard commercial deployment.
