Product details
Overview
XC2VP20-5FFG896C from Xilinx is a Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA featuring dual PowerPC 405 RISC processor blocks, eight RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (2.5 Gb/s in wire-bond packages), 20,880 logic cells, twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), and 564 user I/Os in an 896-pin flip-chip fine-pitch BGA package. It targets high-performance telecom, networking, and video processing systems requiring embedded processing and serial interconnect.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP20-5FFG896C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified dual-processor support at 300 MHz, RocketIO transceiver count and speed grade (-5 = 2.5 Gb/s for FG/FF packages), DCM count, block RAM capacity (1,584 Kb), and FF896 package I/O mapping with DCI-enabled SelectIO-Ultra I/O standards.
Technical Context
The XC2VP20-5FFG896C integrates two independent PowerPC 405 cores with 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, MMU, and OCM interface - enabling tightly coupled software-defined subsystems. Its eight RocketIO transceivers operate at up to 2.5 Gb/s (speed grade -5) with 8B/10B encoding, on-chip 50 Ω termination, and per-channel loopback modes.
FPGA fabric includes 9,280 CLB slices, 290 dedicated 18×18 multipliers, 88 Block SelectRAM+ modules (18 Kb each), and twelve fully digital DCMs supporting precise phase shifting (1/256 period resolution), frequency synthesis, and clock deskew. Routing uses Active Interconnect Technology with hierarchical GRM and predictable delay independent of fanout.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the PowerPC 405 cores in XC2VP20-5FFG896C?
The XC2VP20-5FFG896C speed grade -5 specifies a maximum PowerPC 405 core frequency of 300 MHz under industrial temperature conditions. This is confirmed in DS083 Table 4, where -5 grade correlates to 300 MHz for dual-processor devices. The XC2VP20-5FFG896C must be operated within its specified voltage (1.5 V ±3%) and thermal limits to sustain this frequency reliably.
Does XC2VP20-5FFG896C support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) physical layer interfacing?
Yes, XC2VP20-5FFG896C supports 10GbE via its RocketIO transceivers, which are compliant with XAUI (10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface) at 3.125 Gb/s per lane. Though the -5 speed grade limits RocketIO to 2.5 Gb/s in wire-bond packages, the FF896 flip-chip package enables operation at 3.125 Gb/s - matching XAUI's four-lane 10 Gb/s aggregate rate. Full 10GbE MAC and PCS logic must be implemented in fabric.
Can XC2VP20-5FFG896C be configured using JTAG boundary scan only?
Yes, XC2VP20-5FFG896C supports IEEE 1532-compliant boundary-scan configuration through TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins. This mode allows in-system programming without dedicated configuration pins, though it requires compatible JTAG controllers and may be slower than SelectMAP. Configuration bitstream encryption (triple-DES) remains active in JTAG mode if enabled during bitstream generation.
What I/O standards are supported by the SelectIO-Ultra blocks in XC2VP20-5FFG896C?
XC2VP20-5FFG896C supports 22 single-ended (LVCMOS 1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V, LVTTL, PCI, PCI-X, GTL, HSTL, SSTL) and 10 differential (LVDS, BLVDS, ULVDS, LVPECL, LDT) I/O standards. Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) provides automatic on-die termination for all single-ended standards, while on-chip differential termination is available for LVDS, ULVDS, and LDT - eliminating external resistors.
Is XC2VP20-5FFG896C pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in the FF896 package?
No, XC2VP20-5FFG896C is not pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in the FF896 package. While package outline and ball pitch match, I/O bank assignments, power pin distribution (VCCAUX/VCCO), and RocketIO lane placement differ across device densities. For example, XC2VP30-5FF896C allocates additional balls to logic I/O rather than transceivers, altering functional pin mapping despite identical mechanical footprint.
