Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm the package type, speed grade, and industrial or commercial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with the required design tools and development systems before procurement. Confirm that the pinout matches the intended PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed performance is required. The 1.8 V core voltage offers lower power consumption compared to older 2.5 V families. Consider the FG256 package size relative to available board space and I/O requirements. Verify that the -7 speed grade meets the maximum clock frequency needs of the target application.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Virtex-E family, which represents an evolutionary step from the original Virtex series. It offers higher performance and lower power due to the 0.18 μm process technology. While not bitstream-compatible with the original Virtex family, it maintains pin compatibility with some devices in the same package types.
