AMD XC2V1000-5FGG456I

Overview

XC2V1000-5FGG456I from Xilinx is a 1-million-system-gate Virtex-II platform FPGA in a 456-pin Fine-Pitch BGA (FGG456) package, rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C), with 328 user I/Os, 5,120 CLBs, and 40 embedded 18-Kb Block SelectRAM™ modules. It delivers high-speed logic implementation for telecom infrastructure, video processing, and DSP-intensive systems requiring PCI, LVDS, or DDR interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the XC2V1000-5FGG456I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its -5 speed grade (guaranteed 420 MHz internal clock), dual-port RAM configuration flexibility (up to 512 × 36), DCM-based clock management (12 DCMs), and support for 19 single-ended and 6 differential I/O standards including LVDS and PCI-X at 3.3 V.

Technical Context

The XC2V1000-5FGG456I implements a hierarchical, segmented Active Interconnect routing architecture with 24 long lines per row/column and predictable delay independent of fanout. Its IOBs integrate DDR-capable input/output registers, programmable drive strength (2–24 mA), and Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) for on-chip termination across LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, HSTL, and GTL families.

Internally, it features 40 configurable logic blocks (CLBs), each containing four slices with dual 4-input LUTs, dual flip-flops/latches, fast carry chains, and horizontal cascade logic. Each CLB connects to dedicated segmentable horizontal routing resources via BUFT buffers, while 40 Block SelectRAM modules and 160 18×18 multipliers provide tightly coupled memory and arithmetic acceleration.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range for XC2V1000-5FGG456I?

The XC2V1000-5FGG456I is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +100°C junction temperature. This specification is guaranteed across all speed grades and I/O configurations, and applies to both configuration and user logic operation. The device uses dedicated 3.3 V VCCAUX and VCCO supplies alongside 1.5 V VCCINT, with thermal derating defined in DS031 Module 3. XC2V1000-5FGG456I must be mounted on PCBs with adequate copper pour and airflow to maintain junction temperature within limits during sustained 420 MHz operation.

Does XC2V1000-5FGG456I support JTAG boundary-scan testing?

Yes, XC2V1000-5FGG456I fully complies with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and IEEE 1532 standards. Its Test Access Port (TAP) supports BYPASS, PRELOAD, SAMPLE, IDCODE, USERCODE, EXTEST, INTEST, and HIGHZ instructions. Boundary-scan testing can verify interconnect integrity, configure the device, or perform readback of configuration memory and CLB states. XC2V1000-5FGG456I allows concurrent system operation and non-test boundary-scan instructions, enabling in-system debug without halting user logic.

How many Block SelectRAM modules does XC2V1000-5FGG456I contain?

XC2V1000-5FGG456I contains 40 Block SelectRAM modules, each providing 18 Kb of dual-port RAM. These modules support configurable widths from 16K × 1 to 512 × 36 bits, with three read-during-write modes and independent synchronous clocks per port. Cascading is supported to build larger memory blocks. XC2V1000-5FGG456I's total embedded RAM capacity is 720 Kb, and each module pairs with a dedicated 18×18 multiplier for optimized DSP operations.

Can XC2V1000-5FGG456I interface directly with DDR SDRAM?

Yes, XC2V1000-5FGG456I supports DDR SDRAM interfacing through its SelectIO-Ultra I/O banks using SSTL_2 or SSTL_3 I/O standards. Each IOB includes dedicated DDR input and output registers, and DCMs generate phase-aligned clocks for command/address and data strobes. XC2V1000-5FGG456I's 328 I/Os allow full x32 or x64 DDR bus implementation with DQS capture, and DCI enables on-die termination matching for signal integrity. External PHY is not required.

Is XC2V1000-5FGG456I compatible with Xilinx ISE design tools?

Yes, XC2V1000-5FGG456I is fully supported by Xilinx ISE Foundation and Alliance Series development tools (v14.7 and earlier). Synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and bitstream generation are validated for this device. XC2V1000-5FGG456I requires ISE 14.7 or earlier - it is not supported in Vivado, as Virtex-II architecture predates that toolchain. Device-specific constraints, DCM wizards, and IP cores (e.g., PCI, DDR, UART) are included in the ISE distribution for XC2V1000-5FGG456I.
