XCV50-4FG256C

The XCV50-4FG256C is an SRAM-based Virtex FPGA offering 57,906 system gates in a 256-ball BGA package. Its architecture combines a regular array of configurable logic with abundant routing, on-chip memory, and multi-standard I/O to address programmable-logic requirements in communications, embedded systems, prototyping, and board-level I/O bridging.

This device delivers a balance of logic capacity and I/O density with 1,728 logic elements, 32,768 bits of embedded RAM, and 176 I/O pins, alongside built-in clock-management and in-system configuration features for flexible design integration and re-programmability.

Key Features

• Core Architecture 1,728 logic elements and 57,906 system gates in a regular CLB array optimized for place-and-route efficiency.
• On-Chip Memory 32,768 bits of embedded RAM to support LUT-based RAM and dual-ported RAM configurations.
• I/O Density 176 user I/O pins provide flexible board-level interfacing and high pin-count connectivity.
• Clock Management Four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs), four primary low-skew global clock nets and 24 secondary local clock nets for advanced clock control and distribution.
• Arithmetic and Logic Support Dedicated carry logic and multiplier support for efficient implementation of high-speed arithmetic functions.
• Configuration and Re-programmability SRAM-based in-system configuration with unlimited re-programmability and four programming modes for iterative development and field updates.
• Package and Mounting 256-ball BGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) surface-mount package suitable for compact, high-density board designs.
• Electrical and Temperature Supply voltage range 2.375 V to 2.625 V and commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Manufacturing and Quality 100% factory tested as part of the Virtex family manufacturing flow.

Typical Applications

• PCI and Board-Level I/O Bridging — Leveraging the device’s multi-standard SelectIO interfaces and series support for 66-MHz PCI compliance and hot-swap applications to implement board-level bridging and legacy interface support.
• Embedded System Prototyping — Use the FPGA’s re-programmability and on-chip RAM to iterate system logic quickly during development and verification.
• High-Density Logic Integration — Implement medium-complexity state machines, control logic, and custom peripherals using 1,728 logic elements and dedicated arithmetic resources.
• Memory Interface and Acceleration — Integrate fast interfaces to external high-performance RAM and use embedded RAM blocks for buffering and local data storage.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and I/O in a Compact Package: 1,728 logic elements with 176 I/O pins in a 256-ball BGA enable dense functionality in space-constrained designs.
• Flexible Clocking: Four DLLs and multiple global/local clock nets simplify complex clock-tree designs and timing control.
• On-Device Memory: 32,768 bits of embedded RAM reduce dependence on external memory for many buffering and small-data storage needs.
• Re-programmable Development Flow: SRAM-based configuration with unlimited re-programmability and four programming modes supports rapid design iteration and in-system updates.
• Proven Manufacturing Quality: 100% factory-tested device within the Virtex family provides traceable production quality.
