• Core Logic  1,728 logic elements (CLBs) delivering 57,906 system gates for implementing mid-density programmable logic functions.
• Embedded Memory  32,768 bits of on-chip block RAM and support for SelectRAM+ topologies for flexible, hierarchical memory architectures.
• I/O Capacity  180 user I/O pins to support a broad range of external interfaces and parallel/serial connectivity needs.
• Clocking and Timing  Four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs), four primary low-skew global clock nets and 24 secondary local clock nets for advanced clock distribution and control.
• Arithmetic and Routing  Dedicated carry logic and multiplier support together with abundant registers and cascade chains for implementing high-speed arithmetic and wide functions.
• Configuration and Reprogrammability  SRAM-based architecture with multiple programming modes and in-system re-programmability for design iteration and field updates.
• Package and Mounting  256-BBGA (256-PBGA, 27×27) surface-mount package suitable for compact PCB designs.
• Power and Environmental Range  Supply voltage range 2.375 V to 2.625 V and an operating temperature range of −40°C to 100°C; RoHS compliant.
• Performance  Series-level characteristics include system performance up to 200 MHz and 66-MHz PCI compliance as documented for the Virtex family.

Typical Applications

• PCI and Compact PCI systems  Use the device’s 66‑MHz PCI compliance and hot‑swappable support for Compact PCI host/interface functions and mid-speed bus bridging.
• Embedded logic and control  Implement control, glue-logic, and protocol handling where 1,728 logic elements and on-chip RAM provide flexible, reprogrammable functionality.
• Memory interface and buffering  Leverage the hierarchical memory system and fast external RAM interfaces for buffering, packet handling, and intermediate data storage.
• Clocked high-performance subsystems  Apply the DLLs and multi-level clock networks for deterministic timing in synchronous data paths and timing-critical logic.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable system flexibility: SRAM-based in-system configuration enables design updates and multiple programming modes for development and field serviceability.
• Balanced performance and capacity: 57,906 system gates with 1,728 logic elements and 32,768 bits of block RAM provide a balanced mix of logic and embedded memory for mid-range designs.
• Advanced clock management: Four DLLs plus dedicated global and local clock nets simplify clock distribution and reduce skew for synchronous designs.
• Industrial temperature range: Qualified for −40°C to 100°C operation to meet temperature demands of industrial applications.
• High I/O count in a compact package: 180 I/O pins in a 256-BBGA package enable dense connectivity while keeping board footprint minimal.
• Vendor development support: Supported by the Virtex development ecosystem and Foundation/Alliance tools for design entry, synthesis, and implementation.
