Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | Versal™ AI Core (VC1902) | | **Package** | VSVD1760 (1760-ball Fine-Pitch BGA) | | **Speed Grade** | -1 (Standard Performance) | | **Temperature Grade** | M (Military/Extended) or S (Standard/Industrial) depending on suffix | | **Voltage** | S (Low Voltage/Standard Swing) | | **AI Engines** | 400 Blocks (Approx.) | | **System Logic Cells** | 893,000 | --- ### 2. Architectural Components The XCVC1902 is designed for high-performance AI inference and signal processing. Its architecture consists of several distinct layers: #### A. AI Engine (AIE) Array This is the "heart" of the AI Core series. It consists of a massive array of VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) SIMD processors. * **Purpose:** Optimized for matrix multiplication and digital signal processing (DSP). * **Performance:** Delivers up to 5x higher throughput for wireless and AI applications compared to traditional FPGAs. #### B. Scalar Engines * **Dual-core ARM Cortex-A72:** Handles high-level OS tasks and complex application code. * **Dual-core ARM Cortex-R5F:** Optimized for real-time control, safety, and reliability. #### C. Adaptable Engines (FPGA Fabric) This is the programmable logic (PL) section. * **Function:** Custom hardware acceleration, interface bridging, and specialized I/O handling. * **Resources:** Includes UltraRAM, Block RAM, and DSP58 slices. #### D. Network on Chip (NoC) Unlike older FPGAs, Versal devices use an integrated **Programmable NoC**. * It acts as a high-speed highway connecting the AI Engines, ARM cores, memory controllers, and programmable logic without consuming standard routing resources. --- ### 3.
