XCV50-4TQ144C

The XCV50-4TQ144C is an SRAM-based Virtex field programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package. It provides 1,728 logic elements, approximately 57,906 system gates, and 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM in a commercial-temperature, RoHS-compliant device.

Designed for reprogrammable digital logic applications, this device combines configurable logic, flexible embedded memory, multiple clock-management resources, and a multi-standard I/O architecture suitable for PCI/CompactPCI and other board-level systems that require in-system configurability and moderate logic density.

Key Features

• Logic Density – 1,728 logic elements and 57,906 system gates provide a moderate-capacity programmable fabric for glue logic, custom controllers, and mid-range designs.
• Embedded Memory – 32,768 total RAM bits of on-chip memory with LUTs that can be configured as 16-bit, 32-bit, dual-ported RAM or shift registers, plus configurable synchronous dual-ported 4k-bit RAMs for flexible local storage.
• I/O Capabilities – 98 user I/O pins and support for multi-standard SelectIO interfaces; the Virtex family supports 16 high-performance interface standards and direct connection to ZBTRAM devices.
• Clock Management – Four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs), four primary low-skew global clock distribution nets and 24 secondary local clock nets enable advanced clock control and low-skew routing for synchronous designs.
• Configuration and Reprogrammability – SRAM-based in-system configuration with four programming modes and unlimited re-programmability for iterative development and field updates.
• Performance Characteristics – Family-level capability includes system performance up to 200 MHz and 66-MHz PCI compliance; device-level attributes support hot-swappable CompactPCI systems as indicated in the Virtex specification.
• Package & Power – 144-LQFP (supplier package 144-TQFP, 20×20 mm), surface-mount mounting, and a specified voltage supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V for core operation.
• Commercial Grade & Environmental – Operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant status for standard commercial applications.
• Manufacturing Process & Test – Built on a 0.22 μm, 5-layer-metal CMOS process and 100% factory tested as documented in the device family specification.

Typical Applications

• PCI and CompactPCI Systems – Use as reconfigurable logic and interface glue for 66-MHz PCI-compliant designs and hot-swappable CompactPCI board implementations.
• Board-Level Prototyping and Custom Logic – Ideal for iterative development where unlimited in-system re-programmability and flexible LUT-based memory configurations accelerate design refinement.
• Embedded Control and Signal Processing – Dedicated carry logic and multiplier support (as described in the Virtex family specification) make the device suitable for arithmetic-intensive functions and custom control blocks.
• Memory and Interface Bridging – Fast interfaces to external high-performance RAMs and the ability to connect directly to ZBTRAM devices enable use as an interface bridge or local memory controller.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable In-System – SRAM-based configuration with four programming modes provides repeated in-field updates and design iteration without hardware changes.
• Flexible Embedded Memory – LUTs configurable as RAM or shift registers plus dedicated block RAM bits give designers multiple options for implementing local storage and FIFOs.
• Robust Clocking Resources – Four DLLs and hierarchical clock nets support low-skew distribution and advanced clock control for synchronous systems.
• PCI-Friendly – Family-level PCI compliance and CompactPCI hot-swap capability simplify integration into standard board-level I/O applications.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package – 144-LQFP surface-mount package with 98 I/O balances routing density and PCB footprint for medium-density designs.
• Proven Process and Testing – 0.22 μm, 5-layer-metal process and 100% factory testing provide production-tested silicon for reliable deployment in commercial environments.
