AMD XC2V3000-5BG728I

Overview

XC2V3000-5BG728I from Xilinx is a high-density, industrial-grade Virtex-II platform FPGA with 3 million system gates, 14,336 CLB slices, 96 Block SelectRAM™ modules (720 Kb total RAM), 448 dedicated 18×18 multipliers, and 12 Digital Clock Managers (DCMs). It implements configurable logic, embedded memory, high-speed I/O, and clock synthesis for telecom, networking, and DSP systems requiring PCI-X, LVDS, and DDR interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the XC2V3000-5BG728I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified architecture details, I/O capability (516 user I/Os in BG728 package), DC/switching characteristics, DCM timing parameters, and real-world implementation constraints - all specific to the -5 speed grade and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C).

Technical Context

The XC2V3000-5BG728I uses a 0.15 µm / 0.12 µm 8-layer metal CMOS process with 1.5 V core (VCCINT), 3.3 V auxiliary (VCCAUX), and programmable I/O supply (VCCO). Its architecture integrates Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), 18-Kb dual-port Block SelectRAM, dedicated 18×18 multipliers, and 12 fully digital DCMs supporting precise de-skew, frequency synthesis (M/D ratio), and fine-grained phase shifting (1/256 period resolution).

It supports 19 single-ended and 6 differential I/O standards including LVDS, BLVDS, LVPECL, SSTL, HSTL, and PCI-X (133 MHz @ 3.3 V), with Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) for on-chip termination. Routing employs Active Interconnect Technology with predictable delay independent of fanout, backed by 16 global clock lines and 24 long lines per row/column.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range for XC2V3000-5BG728I?

The XC2V3000-5BG728I is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +100°C junction temperature. This specification is guaranteed across all I/O standards, DCM functionality, and internal logic performance at the –5 speed grade, making it suitable for base station, transportation, and factory automation environments where ambient thermal stress is significant. The 'I' suffix explicitly denotes industrial qualification.

Does XC2V3000-5BG728I support PCI-X 133 MHz operation?

Yes, XC2V3000-5BG728I supports PCI-X 133 MHz at 3.3 V through its SelectIO-Ultra I/O banks when configured with PCI-X compliant signaling and proper VCCO = 3.3 V. This capability is documented in DS031 Module 1 and confirmed in Table 1 of the Functional Description, enabling direct interfacing with legacy server and storage controllers without level-shifting circuitry.

How many Block SelectRAM modules does XC2V3000-5BG728I contain?

XC2V3000-5BG728I contains 96 Block SelectRAM modules, each providing 18 Kb of dual-port RAM. This yields 720 Kb total embedded memory, configurable from 16K × 1 to 512 × 36 bits per block, with independent read/write clocks and three read-during-write modes - essential for FIFOs, frame buffers, and coefficient storage in DSP pipelines.

Can XC2V3000-5BG728I perform on-chip impedance matching?

Yes, XC2V3000-5BG728I implements Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) for on-chip series or split termination across multiple I/O standards including LVDCI, SSTL, HSTL, and GTL/GTLP. This eliminates the need for external termination resistors, reduces PCB area and BOM count, and improves signal integrity for high-speed parallel buses like DDR SDRAM and QDR SRAM interfaces.

Is XC2V3000-5BG728I compatible with modern Xilinx design tools?

XC2V3000-5BG728I is supported exclusively by the legacy Xilinx ISE Design Suite (v14.7 and earlier); it is not compatible with Vivado or Vitis. Synthesis, place-and-route, and bitstream generation require ISE, and device-specific libraries, constraints, and simulation models are only available in that environment - critical for maintaining legacy system maintenance and re-spins.
