XCV50-6PQ240C

The XCV50-6PQ240C is an SRAM-based Virtex FPGA offering 57,906 system gates with 1,728 logic elements and approximately 32,768 bits of embedded block RAM. Packaged in a 240-BFQFP surface-mount package, it provides 166 user I/O and operates from a 2.375 V to 2.625 V supply across a commercial temperature range (0 °C to 85 °C).

Designed for fast, high-density programmable logic applications, this device integrates configurable logic, flexible on-chip memory, multi-standard I/O capability and built-in clock management while supporting in-system, reprogrammable configuration.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 1,728 logic elements and 57,906 system gates to implement medium-density programmable logic designs.
• On-chip Memory — Approximately 32,768 bits of block RAM; LUTs are configurable as 16-bit/32-bit RAM, dual-ported RAM, or shift registers as described in the device family architecture.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility — 166 user I/O pins with multi-standard SelectIO™ support and direct connectivity options to high-performance external RAM devices.
• Clock Management — Built-in clock-management circuitry including four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs), four primary low-skew global clock nets and 24 secondary local clock nets for refined clock control.
• Configuration and Reprogrammability — SRAM-based in-system configuration with unlimited re-programmability and four programming modes for flexible deployment.
• Process and Reliability — Implemented in a 0.22 µm, 5-layer-metal CMOS process and 100% factory tested for production confidence.
• Package and Mounting — Surface-mount 240-BFQFP (supplier device package: 240-PQFP 32×32) for compact board-level integration.
• Power and Temperature — Operates from 2.375 V to 2.625 V and specified for commercial grade use across 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Development Ecosystem — Supported by FPGA Foundation™ and Alliance Series™ development systems for design implementation and tooling support.

Typical Applications

• PCI and CompactPCI systems — 66-MHz PCI compliance and hot-swap capability (family feature) make the device suitable for PCI-based interface logic and CompactPCI implementations.
• Custom logic / ASIC replacement — Medium-density programmable logic for replacing mask-programmed gate arrays or implementing custom glue logic and control functions.
• Memory interface and bridging — Fast interfaces to external high-performance RAMs and direct connectivity to compatible RAM devices enable memory controller and bridge designs.
• Clock-critical digital systems — On-chip DLLs and multiple clock distribution nets support applications requiring controlled clocking and low-skew timing domains.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable in-system — SRAM-based configuration with unlimited re-programmability simplifies iterative development and field updates without hardware replacement.
• Integrated clock control — Four DLLs and hierarchical clock nets provide precise timing control, reducing external clocking complexity.
• Balanced logic and memory — 1,728 logic elements paired with ~32k bits of block RAM support mixed compute-and-buffer tasks on a single device.
• Compact package with extensive I/O — 166 user I/O in a 240-BFQFP package enables dense interfacing in space-constrained designs.
• Proven process and test coverage — 0.22 µm, 5-layer-metal process and 100% factory testing provide manufacturing consistency.
• Toolchain support — Compatibility with the vendor’s Foundation and Alliance development systems aids design portability and reduces toolchain ramp time.
