Virtex Electrical Characteristics
Definition of Terms
Electrical and switching characteristics are specified on a
per-speed-grade basis and can be designated as Advance,
Preliminary, or Production. Each designation is defined as
follows:
Advance: These speed files are based on simulations only
and are typically available soon after device design specifi-
cations are frozen. Although speed grades with this desig-
nation are considered relatively stable and conservative,
some under-reporting might still occur.
Preliminary: These speed files are based on complete ES
(engineering sample) silicon characterization. Devices and
speed grades with this designation are intended to give a
better indication of the expected performance of production
silicon. The probability of under-reporting delays is greatly
reduced as compared to Advance data.
Production: These speed files are released once enough
production silicon of a particular device family member has
been characterized to provide full correlation between
speed files and devices over numerous production lots.
There is no under-reporting of delays, and customers
receive formal notification of any subsequent changes. Typ-
ically, the slowest speed grades transition to Production
before faster speed grades.
All specifications are representative of worst-case supply
voltage and junction temperature conditions. The parame-
ters included are common to popular designs and typical
applications. Contact the factory for design considerations
requiring more detailed information.
