Product details
Overview
XC2VP20-6FF1152I from Xilinx is a high-density, radiation-tolerant (industrial-grade) platform FPGA integrating two PowerPC 405 RISC processor cores, eight RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (3.125 Gb/s), 20,880 logic cells, twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), and 564 user I/Os in an FF1152 flip-chip BGA package. It targets telecom backplane interfaces, embedded networking control planes, and high-throughput DSP subsystems requiring integrated processing and serial connectivity.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP20-6FF1152I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dual-processor coherency support, 3.125 Gb/s transceiver compliance with XAUI/Fibre Channel, DCM-based clock deskew for synchronous I/O, and industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +100°C).
Technical Context
The XC2VP20-6FF1152I implements a hardened Virtex-II Pro architecture with dual PowerPC 405 cores operating up to 350 MHz (–6 speed grade), each featuring 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, MMU, and CoreConnect bus interface. Its eight RocketIO transceivers support full-duplex 3.125 Gb/s operation with 8B/10B encoding, on-chip 50 Ω termination, and per-channel loopback modes.
Logic fabric includes 9,280 CLB slices, 290 dedicated 18×18 multipliers, 88 Block SelectRAM+ modules (18 Kb each), and hierarchical Active Interconnect routing with 24 long lines per row/column. Clocking uses twelve DCMs for phase shifting (1/256 period resolution), frequency synthesis, and deskew across 16 global clock nets.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the PowerPC 405 cores in XC2VP20-6FF1152I?
The XC2VP20-6FF1152I supports PowerPC 405 cores running at up to 350 MHz under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +100°C) and –6 speed grade. This frequency assumes proper PCB layout, power delivery, and thermal management per XAPP755 guidelines for dual-core timing closure. The XC2VP20-6FF1152I datasheet specifies this limit in Table 4 of DS083 v5.0.
Does XC2VP20-6FF1152I support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC2VP20-6FF1152I fully complies with IEEE 1149.1 and supports boundary-scan testing via dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. It implements BYPASS, SAMPLE, PRELOAD, EXTEST, INTEST, and HIGHZ instructions, enabling board-level interconnect verification and in-system programming. The XC2VP20-6FF1152I also supports IEEE 1532 for configuration data loading through JTAG.
Can XC2VP20-6FF1152I be configured using Master SelectMAP mode?
Yes, XC2VP20-6FF1152I supports Master SelectMAP configuration mode, allowing it to drive an external PROM or flash memory and autonomously load its bitstream at power-up. This mode uses CCLK as output and configures M[2:0] pins to select the 8-bit-wide parallel interface. The XC2VP20-6FF1152I documentation confirms this capability in the Configuration section of DS083 v5.0.
What I/O standards are supported by XC2VP20-6FF1152I's SelectIO-Ultra blocks?
XC2VP20-6FF1152I supports 22 single-ended standards (including LVCMOS 1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V, PCI, PCI-X, HSTL, SSTL) and 10 differential standards (LVDS, BLVDS, ULVDS, LVPECL, LDT). Its XCITE Digitally Controlled Impedance feature automatically calibrates output impedance to match transmission lines, eliminating external termination resistors for most standards.
Is XC2VP20-6FF1152I suitable for new designs?
No-XC2VP20-6FF1152I is marked "Product Not Recommended For New Designs" in Xilinx DS083 v5.0. While fully functional and supported for existing production, Xilinx recommends Virtex-5 or newer families for new projects due to superior performance, lower power, and ongoing toolchain support. Aetrix Electronics maintains inventory and lifecycle coordination for legacy XC2VP20-6FF1152I deployments.
