Product details
Overview
XC2VP20-5FF1152C from Xilinx is a Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA integrating two PowerPC 405 RISC processor blocks, eight RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (2.0 Gb/s max), 20,880 logic cells, twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), and 564 user I/Os in an FF1152 flip-chip BGA package. It delivers embedded processing, high-speed serial connectivity, and programmable logic for telecom backplane interfaces and DSP-accelerated control systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP20-5FF1152C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified architecture-level specifications, confirmed I/O count and transceiver capability, package-mapped pin definitions, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for legacy system sustainment and redesign.
Technical Context
The XC2VP20-5FF1152C implements a dual-processor SoC-FPGA architecture with two independent PowerPC 405 cores operating up to 300 MHz (–5 speed grade), each backed by 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, MMU, and OCM interface. Its eight RocketIO transceivers support full-duplex operation at 2.0 Gb/s with 8B/10B encoding, channel bonding, and on-chip 50 Ω termination.
FPGA fabric includes 9,280 CLB slices, 290 dedicated 18×18 multipliers, 88 Block SelectRAM+ modules (18 Kb each), and twelve DCMs enabling precise clock deskew, multiplication/division, and ±180° phase shifting. Routing uses Active Interconnect Technology with hierarchical segmented resources and predictable delay independent of fanout.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-with-embedded-processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC2VP30-5FF896C | Higher logic density (30,816 cells), same dual PowerPC + 8 RocketIO, but in smaller FF896 package (31×31 mm) and lower I/O count (644 vs. 564) | Better suited for space-constrained designs needing more fabric resources but fewer I/Os | Select when additional CLBs or Block RAM are required without increasing board footprint beyond FF896 limits |
| XC2VP7-6FG456C | Single PowerPC core, 4 RocketIO transceivers, lower logic count (11,088 cells), wire-bond FG456 package (23×23 mm), industrial temperature grade available | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth industrial control applications with extended temp requirements | Choose for legacy industrial upgrades where radiation tolerance, extended temperature range, or lower power consumption are prioritized over dual-core throughput |
Compared with XC2VP20-5FF1152C, XC2VP30-5FF896C offers greater logic capacity in a smaller footprint but trades I/O count and thermal headroom, while XC2VP7-6FG456C reduces complexity and cost at the expense of processing parallelism and serial bandwidth-making it suitable only for scaled-down implementations.

FAQ
What is the maximum RocketIO transceiver speed supported by XC2VP20-5FF1152C?
The XC2VP20-5FF1152C supports RocketIO transceivers rated for up to 2.0 Gb/s full-duplex operation in the –5 speed grade, as specified in Table 4 of DS083. This applies to all eight transceiver channels and is compatible with Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and XAUI protocols using 8B/10B encoding. The device does not include RocketIO X cores, which are exclusive to XC2VPX20/XC2VPX70 variants.
Does XC2VP20-5FF1152C support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC2VP20-5FF1152C supports partial reconfiguration through its SRAM-based configuration architecture and dedicated configuration logic. This allows dynamic modification of specific FPGA regions without disrupting active PowerPC execution or RocketIO link operation-enabling runtime adaptation of communication protocols or filter coefficients in deployed systems.
What I/O standards are supported by XC2VP20-5FF1152C?
XC2VP20-5FF1152C supports 22 single-ended standards-including LVTTL, LVCMOS (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V), PCI/PCI-X, GTL, HSTL, and SSTL-and 10 differential standards such as LVDS, BLVDS, ULVDS, LDT, and LVPECL. Its XCITE Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) feature enables automatic on-chip termination for all supported single-ended I/Os.
Is XC2VP20-5FF1152C recommended for new designs?
No, XC2VP20-5FF1152C is marked "Product Not Recommended For New Designs" per DS083 v5.0 (June 2011). It remains available for legacy system support, repair, and obsolescence mitigation-but Xilinx recommends Virtex-5 or newer families for new development due to superior performance, power efficiency, and toolchain support.
What configuration modes does XC2VP20-5FF1152C support?
XC2VP20-5FF1152C supports five configuration modes: slave-serial, master-serial, slave SelectMAP, master SelectMAP, and IEEE 1532 boundary-scan. Configuration bitstreams can be encrypted using on-chip DES/3DES decryptors, and readback capability enables verification of both configuration memory and register/latch states for debugging.
