Product details
Overview
XC2VP20-5FF896I from Xilinx is a Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA integrating two PowerPC 405 RISC processor blocks, eight RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (2.0–3.125 Gb/s), 20,880 logic cells, twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), and 564 user I/Os in an FF896 flip-chip BGA package. It delivers embedded processing, high-speed serial interconnect, and programmable logic for telecom backplane, wireless baseband, and video processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP20-5FF896I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dual PowerPC 405 core support at 300 MHz (–5 speed grade), RocketIO transceiver compliance with Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and XAUI, DCI-enabled I/O termination, and 1.5 V core voltage operation.
Technical Context
The XC2VP20-5FF896I implements a hardened architecture combining SRAM-based FPGA fabric with embedded processor subsystems and SERDES transceivers. Its dual PowerPC 405 cores operate at up to 300 MHz (–5 grade), each with 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, MMU, and OCM interface. The eight RocketIO transceivers support full-duplex operation from 600 Mb/s to 3.125 Gb/s with 8B/10B encoding, channel bonding, and on-chip 50 Ω termination.
Logic resources include 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 phase shifting. I/O supports 22 single-ended and 10 differential standards-including LVDS, SSTL, HSTL-with programmable drive strength (2–24 mA) and Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI).

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed operating frequency of the PowerPC 405 cores in XC2VP20-5FF896I?
The XC2VP20-5FF896I is rated for 300 MHz PowerPC 405 core operation under –5 speed grade conditions, validated across commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C). This frequency assumes proper decoupling, 1.5 V VCCINT supply, and adherence to XAPP755 guidelines for dual-core timing closure. Higher frequencies require speed-grade upgrades like XC2VP20-6FF896I.
Does XC2VP20-5FF896I support 64B/66B encoding in its RocketIO transceivers?
No, XC2VP20-5FF896I contains standard RocketIO transceivers-not RocketIO X cores-and therefore supports only 8B/10B encoding. 64B/66B encoding is exclusive to XC2VPX20 and XC2VPX70 devices. Attempting to configure 64B/66B on XC2VP20-5FF896I will result in functional failure or undefined behavior.
Can XC2VP20-5FF896I be configured via JTAG boundary scan after power-up?
Yes, XC2VP20-5FF896I supports IEEE 1149.1-compliant boundary-scan configuration through TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins. It accepts configuration bitstreams in Boundary-Scan mode per IEEE 1532, enabling in-system programming and debugging without dedicated configuration pins. The DONE pin asserts upon successful JTAG configuration completion.
What I/O standards does XC2VP20-5FF896I support with on-chip termination?
XC2VP20-5FF896I supports on-chip termination for LVDS, LVDS Extended, ULVDS, and LDT differential standards, plus all single-ended standards via Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI)-including LVCMOS (1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V), SSTL, HSTL, and PCI-X. DCI automatically calibrates termination resistance to match line impedance without external components.
Is XC2VP20-5FF896I pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in FF896 packaging?
No, XC2VP20-5FF896I is not pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in FF896 packages. While physical footprint and ball count match, I/O assignment, power pin distribution, and transceiver lane mapping differ across device densities. For example, XC2VP30-5FF896I allocates additional balls to extra RocketIO lanes and I/O banks, making direct substitution impossible without PCB redesign.
