Chapter 1: Overview
The Versal Prime series is the foundation and the mid-range of the Versal platform, serving the broadest range of uses across multiple markets. These applications include 100G to 200G networking equipment, network and storage acceleration in the Data Center, communications test equipment, broadcast, and aerospace & defense. The series integrates mainstream 58G transceivers and optimized I/O and DDR connectivity, achieving low-latency acceleration and performance across diverse workloads.
The Versal Premium series provides breakthrough heterogeneous integration, very high-performance compute, connectivity, and security in an adaptable platform with a minimized power and area footprint. The series is designed to exceed the demands of high-bandwidth, compute-intensive applications in wired communications, data center, test & measurement, and other applications. Versal Premium series ACAPs include 112G PAM4 transceivers and integrated blocks for 600G Ethernet, 600G Interlaken, PCI Express? Gen5, and high-speed cryptography.The Versal architecture documentation suite is available.

SelectIO Resources Features
The two primary types of I/O in Versal ACAPs are high-performance XP I/O (XPIO) and high-density HD I/O (HDIO). The XPIO includes dedicated logic to support high-speed interfaces withvoltage ranges between 1.0V and 1.5V. HDIO and XPIO banks do not have overlapping voltagesor I/O standards. The HDIO supports interfaces with voltages ranging from 1.8V to 3.3V. TheHDIO provides logic for both single data rate (SDR) and double data rate (DDR) interfaces atreduced clocking speeds.
XPIO Features
The XPIO are grouped into 54-pin banks with supporting resources for both high-performanceand low-speed interfaces. Each XPIO can use the XPHY to align, serialize, and de-serialize a datastream. Each XPIO has I/O interconnect logic (IOL) resources to support low-speed SDR andDDR interfaces and coarse data alignment resources. The XPIO input and output buffers supporta wide range of single-ended and differential I/O standards along with resources to support ahigh level of signal quality.
