It delivers up to 420 MHz internal clock speed and supports DDR/LVDS/PCI-X interfaces for telecom and networking infrastructure.

For engineers reviewing the XC2V2000-5FFG896I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified architecture details, I/O standard support (LVDS, SSTL, HSTL, PCI-X), DCM timing parameters, DCI termination capability, and validated alternative FPGAs for migration or second-sourcing.

Technical Context

The XC2V2000-5FFG896I implements a hierarchical, segmented Active Interconnect routing architecture with 24 long lines per row/column, 120 hex lines, and predictable delay independent of fanout. Its IOBs support dual-edge DDR registers per I/O path with 180° phase-shifted clocks generated by integrated DCMs.

Each CLB contains four slices with dual 4-input LUTs, dual storage elements (DFF/latch), fast carry chains, and horizontal cascade logic; block SelectRAM provides 18-Kb dual-port RAM configurable from 16K×1 to 512×36, paired with dedicated multipliers for efficient DSP filtering and read-multiply-accumulate operations.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature range for XC2V2000-5FFG896I?

The "I" suffix in XC2V2000-5FFG896I denotes Industrial temperature grade, specifying guaranteed operation from –40°C to +100°C junction temperature. This rating is validated across all speed grades and I/O standards per DS031 Module 3 DC characteristics, making XC2V2000-5FFG896I suitable for base station radios, industrial controllers, and outdoor network equipment where ambient extremes occur.

Does XC2V2000-5FFG896I support LVDS signaling, and what is its maximum data rate?

Yes, XC2V2000-5FFG896I supports LVDS signaling with 840 Mb/s per differential pair, as confirmed in DS031 Module 1 Summary of Features and Module 2 Functional Description. The IOBs include current-mode drivers and termination matching circuitry, enabling robust point-to-point or bus LVDS (BLVDS) interfaces without external biasing or termination components.

How many Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) does XC2V2000-5FFG896I contain, and what functions do they provide?

XC2V2000-5FFG896I contains 56 DCMs, as specified in Table 1 of DS031 Module 1. Each DCM provides fully digital clock deskew, frequency synthesis (M/D ratio), coarse and fine phase shifting (down to ±1/256 cycle), and duty cycle correction - essential for synchronizing multi-gigabit SerDes, DDR memory interfaces, and cross-domain data transfers in XC2V2000-5FFG896I-based systems.

Is XC2V2000-5FFG896I pin-compatible with other Virtex-II devices in the FF896 package?

Yes, all Virtex-II devices offered in the FF896 package - including XC2V1000-5FF896I, XC2V1500-5FF896I, and XC2V2000-5FFG896I - share identical pinouts and footprint, as stated in DS031 Module 1 Table 6 and Ordering Examples. This allows board-level scalability across densities without layout revision, provided power delivery and thermal design accommodate the higher current draw of larger devices.

What configuration modes are supported by XC2V2000-5FFG896I?

XC2V2000-5FFG896I supports five configuration modes: slave-serial, master-serial, slave SelectMAP, master SelectMAP, and IEEE 1532 boundary-scan. These are detailed in DS031 Module 1 Configuration section and enable flexible programming via microcontroller, PROM, or JTAG debugger - critical for field updates, secure boot, and production test of XC2V2000-5FFG896I-based systems.
