XCV50E-6FG256C

The XCV50E-6FG256C is a Virtex®-E series, 1.8 V SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Array provided in a 256-ball BGA package. It combines on-chip configurable logic and embedded RAM with flexible I/O options to address high-performance interface and custom-logic requirements.

Designed for commercial embedded applications, this device delivers 1,728 logic elements, 65,536 bits of on-chip RAM, and 176 I/O pins in a surface-mount 256-FBGA (17×17) package, with an operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C and a nominal internal supply of 1.71 V to 1.89 V.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 1,728 logic elements provide programmable fabric for implementing custom digital functions and state machines.
• Embedded Memory — 65,536 bits of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, small frame buffers, and local data storage.
• I/O Capacity — 176 I/O pins available in the 256-BGA package to support multiple external interfaces and bus connections.
• Voltage and Packaging — Operates from a 1.71 V to 1.89 V internal supply; supplied in a surface-mount 256-FBGA (17×17) package for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial environments.
• SRAM-Based In-System Configuration — Reprogrammable architecture enables iterative design updates and in-system reconfiguration.
• Series-Level Capabilities — Virtex-E family features cited in the product series include SelectI/O+ support for multiple interface standards, differential signalling (LVDS/LVPECL/BLVDS), built-in clock management with multiple DLLs, and dedicated carry/multiplier resources for arithmetic — applicable to designs leveraging series functionality.
• Standards & Testing — RoHS compliant and 100% factory tested as part of the product series qualification.

Typical Applications

• High-speed memory interfaces — Implement controllers and interfaces for external DDR SDRAM and ZBT SRAM using the device’s embedded memory support and series-level memory interface capabilities.
• PCI-based systems — Integrate with PCI buses and related expansion architectures leveraging the series’ PCI-compliant features.
• Protocol bridging and I/O adaptation — Use the device’s flexible I/O count and series SelectI/O+ capabilities to implement protocol conversion, serialization/deserialization, and mixed-signal interface adaptation.

Unique Advantages

• Compact integration: 1,728 logic elements and on-chip RAM in a 256-FBGA (17×17) package reduce board area and simplify layouts for space-constrained designs.
• Reprogrammability: SRAM-based in-system configuration enables iterative firmware updates and field modifications without hardware changes.
• Flexible I/O and interface support: 176 I/Os and series-level SelectI/O+ and differential signalling capabilities support a broad set of external standards and high-speed links.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Operates across a 0 °C to 85 °C range and is RoHS compliant, meeting common commercial production and environmental requirements.
• Controlled power domain: 1.71 V to 1.89 V internal supply range provides predictable power planning for system integration.
