Description
A reliable compact high-performance configuration
bitstream storage and delivery solution is essential for the
high-density FPGAs. Platform Flash XL is the industry's
highest performing configuration and storage device and is
specially optimized for high-performance FPGA
configuration. Platform Flash XL integrates 128 Mb of
in-system programmable flash storage and performance
features for configuration within a small-footprint FT64
package (Figure 5). Power-on burst read mode and
dedicated I/O power supply enable Platform Flash XL to
mate seamlessly with the native SelectMAP configuration
interface. A wide, 16-bit data bus delivers the FPGA
configuration bitstream at speeds up to 800 Mb/s without
wait states. See UG438, Platform Flash XL Configuration
and Storage Device User Guide, for system-level usage and
performance considerations.
Platform Flash XL is supported for use with Virtex-5 or Virtex-6
FPGAs only. Use with older Virtex families, Spartan® families,
or AES encrypted bitstreams is not supported.
Platform Flash XL is a non-volatile flash storage solution,
optimized for FPGA configuration. The device provides a
READY_WAIT signal that synchronizes the start of the FPGA
configuration process, improving both system reliability and
simplifying board design. Platform Flash XL can download an
XC5VLX330 bitstream (79,704,832 bits) in less than 100 ms,
making the configuration performance of Platform Flash XL
ideal for PCI Express endpoints and other high-performance
applications.
Platform Flash XL is a single-chip configuration solution with
additional system-level capabilities. A standard NOR flash
interface (Figure 2) and support for common flash interface
(CFI) queries provide industry-standard access to the device
memory space. The Platform Flash XL's 128 Mb capacity can
typically hold one or more FPGA bitstreams. Any memory
space not used for bitstream storage can be used to hold
general purpose data or embedded processor code.
