Virtex-4 FPGA Electrical Characteristics
Virtex®-4 FPGAs are available in -12, -11, and -10 speed
grades, with -12 having the highest performance.
Virtex-4 FPGA DC and AC characteristics are specified for
both commercial and industrial grades. Except the operat-
ing temperature range or unless otherwise noted, all the DC
and AC electrical parameters are the same for a particular
speed grade (that is, the timing characteristics of a -10
speed grade industrial device are the same as for a -10
speed grade commercial device). However, only selected
speed grades and/or devices might be available in the
industrial range.
All supply voltage and junction temperature specifications
are representative of worst-case conditions. The parame-
ters included are common to popular designs and typical
applications.
This Virtex-4 FPGA Data Sheet is part of an overall set of
documentation on the Virtex-4 family of FPGAs that is avail-
able on the Xilinx website:

Notes:
1. Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings might cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Operating Conditions is not implied. Exposure to
Absolute Maximum Ratings conditions for extended periods of time might affect device reliability.

Power-On Power Supply Requirements
Xilinx® FPGAs require a certain amount of supply current
during power-on to insure proper device initialization. The
actual current consumed depends on the power-on ramp
rate of the power supply.
The power supplies can be turned on in any sequence,
though the specifications shown in Tabl e 5 are for the rec-
ommended power-on sequence of VCCINT
, VCCAUX, VCCO.
Xilinx does not specify the current for other power-on
sequences.
Table 5 shows the minimum current required by Virtex-4
devices for proper power-on and configuration.
If the current minimums shown in Ta bl e 5 are met, the
device powers on properly after all three supplies have
passed through their power-on reset threshold voltages.
Once initialized and configured, use the XPower tool to esti-
mate current drain on these supplies.

These values are valid when driving a 100Ω differential load
only, i.e., a 100Ω resistor between the two receiver pins.
The VOH levels are 200 mV below standard LVPECL levels
and are compatible with devices tolerant of lower com-
mon-mode ranges. Ta bl e 1 1 summarizes the DC output

Interface Performance Characteristics
Switching Characteristics
Switching characteristics are specified on a per-speed-
grade basis and can be designated as Advance, Prelimi-
nary, or Production. Each designation is defined as follows:
Advance
These specifications are based on simulations only and are
typically available soon after device design specifications
are frozen. Although speed grades with this designation are
considered relatively stable and conservative, some
under-reporting might still occur.
Preliminary
These specifications are based on complete ES (engineer-
ing sample) silicon characterization. Devices and speed
grades with this designation are intended to give a better
indication of the expected performance of production sili-
con. The probability of under-reporting delays is greatly
reduced as compared to Advance data.
Production
These specifications are released once enough production
silicon of a particular device family member has been char-
acterized to provide full correlation between specifications
and devices over numerous production lots. There is no
under-reporting of delays, and customers receive formal
notification of any subsequent changes. Typically, the slow-
est speed grades transition to Production before faster
speed grades.
Ta bl e 1 4 correlates the current status of each Virtex-4
device with a corresponding speed specification version
1.68 designation.

Product Specification 13
Since individual family members are produced at different
times, the migration from one category to another depends
completely on the status of the fabrication process for each
device.
All specifications are always representative of worst-case
supply voltage and junction temperature conditions.
Testing of Switching Characteristics
All devices are 100% functionally tested. Internal timing
parameters are derived from measuring internal test pat-
terns. Listed below are representative values. For more
specific, more precise, and worst-case guaranteed data,
use the values reported by the static timing analyzer (TRCE
in the Xilinx Development System) and back-annotate to the
simulation net list. Unless otherwise noted, values apply to
all Virtex-4 devices.

Notes:
1. Worst-case DCM output clock jitter is included in these specifications.
2. The theoretical maximum frequency of this clock is one-half the CPMC405CLOCK. However, the achievable maximum is system dependent, and will
be much less.
3. The theoretical maximum frequency of these clocks is equal to the CPMC405CLOCK. Integer clock ratios are required for the CPMC405CLOCK and
BRAMDSOCMCLK, CPMC405CLOCK and BRAMISOCMCLK, CPMC405CLOCK and CPMDCRCLK, CPMC405CLOCK and CPMFCMCLK, and
CPMC405CLOCK and PLBCLK. The integer ratios can be different for each interface. However, the achievable maximum is system dependent.
4. Maximum operating frequency of CPMC405CLOCK is specified with the input pin TIEC405DISOPERANDFWD connected to a logic 1.
