Introduction
Virtex-6 devices are offered exclusively in thermally efficient flip-chip BGA packages. These 1.0 mm flip-chip packages range in pin-count from the smaller 23x23mm FF484 to the 45x45mm FF1924. The suite of packages is used to address the various power
requirements of the Virtex-6 devices. All Virtex-6 devices are implemented in the 40nm process technology.
Similar to Virtex-5 FPGAs, all Virtex-6 devices feature versatile SelectIO? resources that support a variety of I/O standards. They also include a System Monitor, DSPs, and other traditional features and blocks (such as block RAM) contained in earlier Virtex products.In line with Moore's law, the transistor count in this family of devices has been increased substantially. Though several innovative features at the silicon level have been deployed to minimize power dissipation, including leakage at the 40nm node, these products have more densely packed transistors and embedded blocks with the capability to run faster than before. Thus, a fully configured Virtex-6 FPGA design that exploits the fabric speed and incorporates several embedded circuits and systems can present power consumption challenges that must be managed.
Unlike features in an ASIC or a microprocessor, the combination of FPGA features used in a user application are not known to the component supplier. Therefore, it remains a
challenge for Xilinx to predict the power requirements of a given FPGA when it leaves the factory. Accurate estimates are obtained when the board design takes shape. For this purpose, Xilinx offers and supports a suite of integrated device power analysis tools to help users quickly and accurately estimate their design power requirements. Virtex-6 devices are supported similarly to previous FPGA products. The uncertainty of design power requirements makes it difficult to apply canned thermal solutions to fit all users. Therefore, Xilinx devices do not come with preset thermal solutions. The user’s operating conditions dictate the appropriate solution.
