The XC4000X Series is part of the broad spectrum of Xilinx "XL" products unveiled September 28, 1998. Within the XC4000XL/XLA series, Xilinx offers a broad choice of 3.3 volt and 2.5 volt devices with densities ranging from 800 to 500,000 system gates.

With 12 family members ranging from 30,000 to 500,000 system gates, the devices feature patented SelectRAM^TM memory; offering a highly flexible arrangement of logic, single-port or dual-port memory.

Designed in an advanced 0.25 micron process, the XC4000X series delivers industry-leading performance while significantly reducing power consumption.

500,000 System Gates

The XC4000XV family, with up to 500,000 system gates, offers twice the capacity of competitive products.  Plus, you can maintain a high level of performance; efficient clock buffering and abundant, fast, segmented routing gives you the shortest possible interconnect delays. High Capacity:  30,000 to 500,000 system gates Over 18,000 dedicated flip-flops Over 270,000 RAM bits Up to 448 user I/O

Unprecedented Performance at High Capacities

I/O Features:  Tri-state I/O registers: -  high speed enable/disable  FastCLK I/O buffers: -  very fast CLK-to-out, setup and hold  3.3V and 5V PCI-compliant 12mA or 24mA output drive VersaRingTM I/O interface for pin-locking capability

Over 200 MHz Chip-Chip Speeds

Architectural Features:  SelectRAM memory -  fully synchronous single-port or     dual-port RAM  Segmented routing resources deliver high performance at high capacities More clock buffering -  similar performance, from 30,000     to 500,000 gates

Over 300 MHz Internal Speeds

Less than Half the Power Consumption
 
An XC4000XLA device consumes 50% of the power of the equivalent XC4000XL device.  And the XC4000XV device only consumes 30% of the power.  These savings are derived from efficient design layout, smaller process geometries, and lower operating voltages.

 

Low Power Consumption:  0.35/0.25 micron 5LM process Efficient design optimized for minimal power consumption Reduced core operating voltage saves power

Relative Power Consumption

New Software Delivers Very Fast Compile Times

Our new Alliance Series™ and Foundation Series™ version 1.5 software delivers increased performance in less than half the time.  Offered in both Alliance and Foundation platforms, version 1.5 introduces these powerful new tools.
