XCV50-5PQ240C

The XCV50-5PQ240C is an AMD (Xilinx) Virtex SRAM-based FPGA packaged in a 240-BFQFP surface-mount footprint. It delivers 1,728 logic elements, approximately 57,906 system gates, and 32,768 bits of on-chip RAM in a compact 240-pin PQFP (32 × 32) package.

Built on the Virtex family architecture, this commercial-grade device supports multi-standard I/O and advanced clock management, and is specified for a 2.375 V to 2.625 V supply and 0 °C to 85 °C operation—making it suitable for high-performance programmable-logic tasks including PCI-compliant applications and CompactPCI hot-swap designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  1,728 logic elements (as specified) and approximately 57,906 system gates provide a compact, reprogrammable logic resource for control, glue logic, and custom datapath implementations.
• Embedded Memory  32,768 total RAM bits of on-chip memory with a hierarchical memory architecture; lookup tables (LUTs) are configurable for RAM or shift-register functions.
• I/O and Interfaces  166 I/O pins and Virtex family SelectIO™ support for multiple high-performance interface standards and direct connection to compatible external memory devices.
• Clock Management  Built-in clock-management circuitry includes multiple delay-locked loops (DLLs), four primary low-skew global clock distribution nets, and additional secondary clock nets for flexible timing architectures.
• Arithmetic and DSP Support  Dedicated carry logic and multiplier support enable efficient implementation of arithmetic and DSP functions.
• SRAM-Based In-System Configuration  SRAM-based architecture provides unlimited re-programmability with multiple programming modes for in-system updates and design iteration.
• Package and Mounting  240-BFQFP (supplier package: 240-PQFP, 32×32) surface-mount package for compact board-level integration.
• Power and Environmental  Core supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V, commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C, and RoHS compliance.
• Manufacturing and Test  Virtex family devices are 100% factory tested as part of the product specification.

Typical Applications

• PCI and CompactPCI Systems  Use the device in PCI-compliant interface logic and CompactPCI designs where 66-MHz PCI compatibility and hot-swap capability are required by the system architecture.
• Custom Interface and Bridge Logic  Implement protocol bridging, bus interfacing, and glue logic with the device’s multi-standard SelectIO and abundant I/O resources.
• Embedded Control and Signal Processing  Leverage dedicated multipliers, carry logic, and on-chip RAM for compact custom DSP, control loops, and real-time processing functions.
• In-System Programmable Prototyping  Take advantage of SRAM-based, reprogrammable configuration to iterate hardware designs and validate algorithms in-system.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, reprogrammable logic: Provides 1,728 logic elements in a single 240-pin PQFP package, enabling dense functionality in a small footprint.
• Integrated memory resources: 32,768 bits of embedded RAM support buffering, FIFOs, and small local data stores without external memory.
• Flexible I/O standards: Multi-standard SelectIO capability and 166 available I/O pins simplify interfacing to a wide range of peripherals and memories.
• Robust clocking options: Multiple DLLs and global/local clock nets make it easier to implement precise timing and low-skew clock domains.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation with RoHS compliance for standard commercial applications.
