XCV50-5FG256I

The XCV50-5FG256I is a Virtex® SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 256‑BGA package designed for industrial applications. It integrates a flexible array of configurable logic, on-chip memory, and a high I/O count to enable custom digital logic, interface bridging, and reconfigurable system functions.

Built on the Virtex architecture, this device targets designs that require in-system re-programmability, multi-standard I/O support, and dedicated clock-management resources to balance performance and integration in compact board layouts.

Key Features

• Logic Resources — 1,728 logic elements organized in a CLB array; the datasheet lists a 16 × 24 CLB array (384 CLBs) to support a variety of custom logic implementations.
• On-chip Memory — 32,768 total RAM bits of embedded memory for LUT-based and block RAM storage and buffering directly inside the FPGA fabric.
• I/O and Interfaces — 176 user I/O pins to support multiple external devices and high-pin-count interfaces for system connectivity.
• Clock Management — Dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs) and multiple global and local clock nets provide advanced clock control for synchronous designs (four DLLs and four primary low-skew global clock distribution nets plus secondary local clock nets as described in the product family documentation).
• Programmability and Configuration — SRAM-based in-system configuration with unlimited re-programmability and multiple programming modes for field updates.
• Package and Mounting — 256‑FBGA (17 × 17) surface-mount package optimized for compact board layouts.
• Electrical and Environmental — Core supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V; industrial operating temperature range from −40 °C to 100 °C.
• Manufacturing and Quality — 100% factory tested and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• PCI and Compact PCI Systems — Use the device’s interface capabilities and reconfigurability for PCI-compliant and hot-swappable Compact PCI designs, as supported by the Virtex family documentation.
• High-performance Logic Prototyping — Implement custom arithmetic, control, and glue-logic in prototype and low-to-medium volume systems leveraging the device’s dedicated carry logic and multiplier support described in the product family materials.
• Memory Interface and Bridging — Fast interfaces to external high-performance RAMs and configurable LUTs allow use as a memory buffering or interface bridge component.
• Field-reconfigurable Industrial Systems — Industrial-grade temperature range and in-system reprogrammability enable field updates and iterative feature upgrades in industrial control and automated equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible, SRAM-based Re-programmability: Unlimited in-system re-programmability supports iterative development and field updates without hardware replacement.
• Integrated Clock Management: Multiple DLLs and hierarchical clock distribution provide designers with fine-grained timing control for synchronous systems.
• Compact, High-density Package: 256‑FBGA (17 × 17) package enables high integration in space-constrained board designs.
• Industrial Temperature Range: Rated −40 °C to 100 °C to meet demanding environmental requirements for industrial deployments.
• Substantial On-chip Memory and Logic: 32,768 bits of embedded RAM combined with 1,728 logic elements and ~57,906 system gates supports mid-density logic and buffering tasks.
• Broad Development Ecosystem: The Virtex family is supported by established Foundation and Alliance development systems referenced in the product documentation, aiding toolchain integration and design flow.
