XC2S200-6FGG692C Architecture and Design
Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)
The XC2S200-6FGG692C features a sophisticated CLB architecture based on proven Virtex FPGA technology. Each CLB contains four Logic Cells (LCs) organized into two identical slices, providing:
- 4-input Look-Up Tables (LUTs) for implementing any Boolean function
- Dedicated carry logic for high-speed arithmetic operations
- Storage elements configurable as edge-triggered D-type flip-flops or level-sensitive latches
- F5 and F6 multiplexers for implementing functions of up to 19 inputs
- Cascade chains for wide-input functions
Block RAM Memory Architecture
The XC2S200-6FGG692C integrates 14 dedicated block RAM modules, each providing 4,096 bits of synchronous dual-port memory. Key block RAM features include:
- Fully synchronous dual-port operation with independent control signals
- Configurable aspect ratios: 4096×1, 2048×2, 1024×4, 512×8, or 256×16
- Built-in bus-width conversion capability
- Dedicated routing for efficient CLB interface
Distributed RAM Capabilities
Beyond block RAM, the XC2S200-6FGG692C offers 75,264 bits of distributed RAM implemented within the CLB structure:
- 16-bit shift registers for capturing high-speed or burst-mode data
- 16×1-bit synchronous RAM per LUT
- Dual-port RAM configurations using paired LUTs
Advanced Clock Management with DLL Technology
Delay-Locked Loop (DLL) Features
The XC2S200-6FGG692C includes four fully digital Delay-Locked Loops (DLLs), one at each corner of the die, providing sophisticated clock management:
- Zero propagation delay through automatic delay compensation
- Low clock skew across the entire device
- Clock multiplication (2×) for internal frequency doubling
- Clock division by 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 8, or 16
- Four quadrature phase outputs (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°)
- Clock mirroring for board-level clock deskewing
Global Clock Distribution Network
Four dedicated global clock networks ensure minimal skew distribution:
- Primary global routing with dedicated input pins
- Low-skew clock distribution to all CLB, IOB, and block RAM clock pins
- Secondary global routing with 24 backbone lines for additional flexibility
