XC4VLX60-11FFG1148I – Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA
The XC4VLX60-11FFG1148I is a mid-range FPGA from Xilinx’s Virtex-4 LX family, designed for applications that need a good balance of logic density, I/O flexibility, and long-term stability. This device is widely used in industrial, communications, and embedded systems where predictable timing and proven architecture are more important than cutting-edge process nodes.
Core Architecture Overview
The Virtex-4 LX architecture focuses on high logic utilization and reliable routing performance. With approximately 60K system logic cells, the XC4VLX60 provides enough resources for complex control logic, protocol handling, and data path processing without the overhead of larger, power-hungry devices.
The -11 speed grade offers fast internal logic and routing, making it suitable for designs with tighter timing constraints, such as real-time data acquisition or multi-interface communication systems.
Memory and Processing Capabilities
This device integrates a solid amount of Block RAM, allowing designers to implement FIFO buffers, lookup tables, and local data storage directly on-chip. For many industrial and telecom designs, this reduces the need for external memory and simplifies the overall PCB layout.
While the LX family is logic-focused, the XC4VLX60 still supports efficient implementation of soft processors, state machines, and custom accelerators commonly used in embedded FPGA designs.
Package and I/O Flexibility
The FFG1148 package provides a high pin count, giving engineers significant flexibility when working with multiple high-speed and general-purpose interfaces. It is well suited for boards that require a large number of I/O connections, such as backplane-connected systems or interface-dense control boards.
The industrial temperature grade (I) ensures reliable operation across a wide temperature range, making this part suitable for factory automation, outdoor equipment, and other harsh-environment applications.
Typical Applications
The XC4VLX60-11FFG1148I is commonly used in:
Industrial control and automation systems
Telecommunications and networking equipment
Test and measurement platforms
Embedded computing and data processing modules
Long-life cycle systems requiring stable FPGA platforms
