Virtex™-E 1.8 V Field Programmable Gate Arrays
resources. The abundance of routing resources permits the
Virtex-E family to accommodate even the largest and most
complex designs.
Virtex-E FPGAs are SRAM-based, and are customized by
loading configuration data into internal memory cells. Con-
figuration data can be read from an external SPROM (mas-
ter serial mode), or can be written into the FPGA
(SelectMAP™, slave serial, and JTAG modes).
The standard Xilinx Foundation Series™ and Alliance
Series™ Development systems deliver complete design
support for Virtex-E, covering every aspect from behavioral
and schematic entry, through simulation, automatic design
translation and implementation, to the creation and down-
loading of a configuration bit stream.

Higher Performance
Virtex-E devices provide better performance than previous
generations of FPGAs. Designs can achieve synchronous
system clock rates up to 240 MHz including I/O or 622 Mb/s
using Source Synchronous data transmission architech-
tures. Virtex-E I/Os comply fully with 3.3 V PCI specifica-
tions, and interfaces can be implemented that operate at
33 MHz or 66 MHz.
While performance is design-dependent, many designs
operate internally at speeds in excess of 133 MHz and can
achieve over 311 MHz.
