XCV50-6TQ144C

The XCV50-6TQ144C is a Virtex-series SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array offering 1,728 logic elements and 32,768 bits of embedded block RAM in a compact 144-LQFP package. Designed for commercial-grade applications, it provides flexible programmable logic, a broad I/O set, and on-chip memory for custom digital functions and system interfacing.

Its architecture supports in-system configuration and a range of clocking and I/O options, making it suitable for medium-density logic integration, PCI-compliant designs, and systems requiring fast external memory interfaces.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,728 logic elements (configured from the Virtex CLB fabric) with an estimated 57,906 system-gate equivalent for implementing custom combinational and sequential logic.
• On-chip Memory — 32,768 bits of block RAM and support for LUT-configured RAM and shift-register modes provide local storage for buffers, FIFOs, and small data tables.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility — 98 available I/O pins and multi-standard SelectIO™ interfaces enable connection to a variety of external devices; the device documentation notes direct connection capability to ZBTRAM devices and 66-MHz PCI compliance.
• Clocking and Timing — Built-in clock-management resources including four dedicated delay-locked loops (DLLs), four primary low-skew global clock nets, and additional local clock distribution for advanced clock control and low-skew routing.
• Configuration and Reprogrammability — SRAM-based in-system configuration offers unlimited re-programmability with multiple programming modes (SelectMAP™, slave serial, master serial, and JTAG).
• Package and Mounting — 144-LQFP package (supplier device package: 144-TQFP, 20×20) with surface-mount mounting for compact PCB integration.
• Electrical and Environmental — Operating voltage range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V and commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• PCI and Peripheral Interfaces — Implement PCI-compliant logic and custom peripheral bridges leveraging the device’s I/O count and documented 66-MHz PCI compatibility.
• Memory Interface and Buffering — Use the on-chip block RAM and fast external RAM interfaces for buffering, caching, and custom memory controllers.
• Custom Logic and Prototyping — Medium-density programmable logic for prototyping and production designs that require reprogrammability and on-board configurability.
• High-performance I/O Bridging — Multi-standard SelectIO™ and ample I/O allow the FPGA to act as an interface hub between diverse digital components and peripherals.

Unique Advantages

• Reprogrammable SRAM Architecture: Unlimited in-system re-programmability enables iterative development and field updates without hardware changes.
• Balanced Logic and Memory: The combination of 1,728 logic elements and 32,768 bits of embedded RAM supports a wide range of mid-scale digital functions while minimizing external memory needs.
• Advanced Clocking Resources: Four dedicated DLLs and multiple global/local clock nets simplify complex clock-domain implementations and reduce clock skew.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 144-LQFP (144-TQFP 20×20) delivers a small PCB footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Established Development Support: The Virtex family is supported by the FPGA Foundation™ and Alliance development systems for a complete design flow and toolchain compatibility as documented for the series.
