[partial-reconfig]



Dear all,

 

Could someone tell us how many frames has each type of column in a Virtex-4 FPGA?

 

According to XAPP968:

 

CLB type column à 22 frames

IO type column à 30 frames

DSP type column à21 frames

CLK type column à 2 frames

MGT type column à 20 frames

Block RAM interconnect column  à 20 frames

Block RAM content column à 64 frames

 

We also know that a Virtex-4 XC4VFX12 device has 4.8 Mbits of configuration information, which corresponds to

the 3600 configuration frames (taken from Virtex-4 Configuration Guide) [3600 fr * 1312 bit/fr = 4723200 configuration bits].

The problem is that according with the information taken from XAPP968, we calculate:

 

Each Virtex-4 XC4VFX12 (4 rows) row has 48 CLB columns, 2 IOB columns, 1 CLK column, 1 DSP column and 3 BRAM column. Therefore:

 

4 * [(48 * 22) + (2 * 30) + (1 * 2) + (1 * 21) + (3 * 84)] = 5564 frames

 

What is wrong in this calculus?

 

Thank you

 

Xabi and Mikel A-a
