General Description
Combining Advanced Silicon Modular Block (ASMBL™) architecture with a wide variety of flexible features, the Virtex®-4
family from Xilinx greatly enhances programmable logic design capabilities, making it a powerful alternative to ASIC
technology. Virtex-4 FPGAs comprise three platform families—LX, FX, and SX—offering multiple feature choices and
combinations to address all complex applications. The wide array of Virtex-4 FPGA hard-IP core blocks includes the
PowerPC® processors (with a new APU interface), tri-mode Ethernet MACs, 622 Mb/s to 6.5 Gb/s serial transceivers,
dedicated DSP slices, high-speed clock management circuitry, and source-synchronous interface blocks. The basic Virtex-4
FPGA building blocks are enhancements of those found in the popular Virtex, Virtex-E, Virtex-II, Virtex-II Pro, and
Virtex-II Pro X product families, so previous-generation designs are upward compatible. Virtex-4 devices are produced on a
state-of-the-art 90 nm copper process using 300 mm (12-inch) wafer technology.

Virtex-4 Family Overview
Architectural Description: Virtex-4 FPGA Array Overview
Virtex-4 devices are user-programmable gate arrays with
various configurable elements and embedded cores optimized for high-density and high-performance system
designs. Virtex-4 devices implement the following functionality:
•
•
Additionally, FX devices support the following embedded
system functionality:
•
•
•
I/O blocks provide the interface between package pins
and the internal configurable logic. Most popular and
leading-edge I/O standards are supported by
programmable I/O blocks (IOBs). The IOBs are
enhanced for source-synchronous applications.
Source-synchronous optimizations include per-bit
deskew, data serializer/deserializer, clock dividers, and
dedicated local clocking resources.
Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), the basic logic
elements for Xilinx FPGAs, provide combinatorial and
synchronous logic as well as distributed memory and
SRL16 shift register capability.
Block RAM modules provide flexible 18Kbit true
dual-port RAM, that are cascadable to form larger
memory blocks. In addition, Virtex-4 FPGA block RAMs
contain optional programmable FIFO logic for
increased device utilization.
Cascadable embedded XtremeDSP slices with 18-bit x
18-bit dedicated multipliers, integrated Adder, and
48-bit accumulator.
•
•
•
Digital Clock Manager (DCM) blocks provide
self-calibrating, fully digital solutions for clock
distribution delay compensation, clock
multiplication/division, and coarse-/fine-grained clock
phase shifting.
Integrated high-speed serial transceivers enable data
rates up to 6.5 Gb/s per channel.
Embedded IBM PowerPC 405 Processor RISC CPU
(up to 450 MHz) with the auxiliary processor unit
interface
10/100/1000 Ethernet media-access control (EMAC)
cores.
The general routing matrix (GRM) provides an array of routing switches between each component. Each programmable element is tied to a switch matrix, allowing multiple
connections to the general routing matrix. The overall programmable interconnection is hierarchical and designed to
support high-speed designs.
All programmable elements, including the routing
resources, are controlled by values stored in static memory
cells. These values are loaded in the memory cells during
configuration and can be reloaded to change the functions
of the programmable elements.
Virtex-4 FPGA Features
This section briefly describes the features of the Virtex-4 family of FPGAs.
Input/Output (SelectIO) Blocks
IOBs are programmable and can be categorized as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Programmable single-ended or differential (LVDS)
operation
Input block with an optional single data rate (SDR) or
double data rate (DDR) register
Output block with an optional SDR or DDR register
Bidirectional block
Per-bit deskew circuitry
Dedicated I/O and regional clocking resources
Built in data serializer/deserializer
The IOB registers are either edge-triggered D-type flip-flops
or level-sensitive latches.
IOBs support the following single-ended standards:
•
•
•
•
•
LVTTL
LVCMOS (3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and 1.5V)
PCI (33 and 66 MHz)
PCI-X
GTL and GTLP
DS112 (v3.1) August 30, 2010
Product Specification
•
•
HSTL 1.5V and 1.8V (Class I, II, III, and IV)
SSTL 1.8V and 2.5V (Class I and II)
The DCI I/O feature can be configured to provide on-chip
termination for each single-ended I/O standard and some
differential I/O standards.
The IOB elements also support the following differential signaling I/O standards:
•
•
•
•
•
•
LVDS and Extended LVDS (2.5V only)
BLVDS (Bus LVDS)
ULVDS
Hypertransport™
Differential HSTL 1.5V and 1.8V (Class II)
Differential SSTL 1.8V and 2.5V (Class II)
Two adjacent pads are used for each differential pair. Two or
four IOB blocks connect to one switch matrix to access the
routing resources.
Per-bit deskew circuitry allows for programmable signal
delay internal to the FPGA. Per-bit deskew flexibly provides
fine-grained increments of delay to carefully produce a

Virtex-4 Family Overview
range of signal delays. This is especially useful for synchronizing signal edges in source synchronous interfaces.
General purpose I/O in select locations (four per bank) are
designed to be “regional clock capable” I/O by adding special hardware connections for I/O in the same locality. These
regional clock inputs are distributed within a limited region
to minimize clock skew between IOBs. Regional I/O clocking supplements the global clocking resources.
Data serializer/deserializer capability is added to every I/O
to support source synchronous interfaces. A serial-to-parallel converter with associated clock divider is included in the
input path, and a parallel-to-serial converter in the output
path.
An in-depth guide to the Virtex-4 FPGA IOB is discussed in
the Virtex-4 FPGA User Guide.
Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)
A CLB resource is made up of four slices. Each slice is
equivalent and contains:
•
•
•
•
•
Two function generators (F & G)
Two storage elements
Arithmetic logic gates
Large multiplexers
Fast carry look-ahead chain
XtremeDSP Slices
The XtremeDSP slices contain a dedicated 18 x 18-bit 2’s
complement signed multiplier, adder logic, and a 48-bit
accumulator. Each multiplier or accumulator can be used
independently. These blocks are designed to implement
extremely efficient and high-speed DSP applications.
The block DSP feature in Virtex-4 devices are further discussed in XtremeDSP Design Considerations.
Global Clocking
The DCM and global-clock multiplexer buffers provide a
complete solution for designing high-speed clock networks.
Up to twenty DCM blocks are available. To generate
deskewed internal or external clocks, each DCM can be
used to eliminate clock distribution delay. The DCM also
provides 90°, 180°, and 270° phase-shifted versions of the
output clocks. Fine-grained phase shifting offers higher resolution phase adjustment with fraction of the clock period
increments. Flexible frequency synthesis provides a clock
output frequency equal to a fractional or integer multiple of
the input clock frequency.
Virtex-4 devices have 32 global-clock MUX buffers. The
clock tree is designed to be differential. Differential clocking
helps reduce jitter and duty cycle distortion.
The function generators F & G are configurable as 4-input
look-up tables (LUTs). Two slices in a CLB can have their
LUTs configured as 16-bit shift registers, or as 16-bit distributed RAM. In addition, the two storage elements are either
edge-triggered D-type flip-flops or level sensitive latches.
Each CLB has internal fast interconnect and connects to a
switch matrix to access general routing resources.
Routing Resources
All components in Virtex-4 devices use the same interconnect scheme and the same access to the global routing
matrix. Timing models are shared, greatly improving the
predictability of the performance for high-speed designs.
Boundary-Scan
The Virtex-4 FPGA CLBs are further discussed in the
Virtex-4 FPGA User Guide.
Block RAM
The block RAM resources are 18 Kb true dual-port RAM
blocks, programmable from 16K x 1 to 512 x 36, in various
depth and width configurations. Each port is totally synchronous and independent, offering three “read-during-write”
modes. Block RAM is cascadable to implement large
embedded storage blocks. Additionally, back-end pipeline
registers, clock control circuitry, built-in FIFO support, and
byte write enable are new features supported in the Virtex-4
FPGA.
The block RAM feature in Virtex-4 devices is further discussed in the Virtex-4 FPGA User Guide.
Boundary-Scan instructions and associated data registers
support a standard methodology for accessing and configuring Virtex-4 devices, complying with IEEE standards
1149.1 and 1532.
Configuration
Virtex-4 devices are configured by loading the bitstream into
internal configuration memory using one of the following
modes:
•
•
•
•
•
Slave-serial mode
Master-serial mode
Slave SelectMAP mode
Master SelectMAP mode
Boundary-Scan mode (IEEE-1532)
Optional 256-bit AES decryption is supported on-chip (with
software bitstream encryption) providing Intellectual Property security.
