Product details
Overview
XC2VP2-5FG456C from Xilinx is a Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA featuring 3,168 logic cells, 4 RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (up to 2.5 Gb/s per channel), and no embedded PowerPC processor block. It uses a 0.13 µm copper process with 1.5 V core voltage and is packaged in a 456-pin fine-pitch wire-bond BGA (FG456) with 156 user I/Os. It targets high-speed serial interconnect applications in telecom and networking equipment.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP2-5FG456C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver count and speed grade (-5), I/O count (156), CLB resources (1,408 slices), DCM availability (4 units), and compatibility with SelectIO-Ultra standards including LVDS and PCI-X.
Technical Context
The XC2VP2-5FG456C implements a SRAM-based, in-system reprogrammable architecture with Active Interconnect routing, Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) I/O, and four Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) supporting precise clock de-skew, frequency synthesis, and phase shifting. Its 4 RocketIO transceivers operate at up to 2.5 Gb/s in wire-bond packages and support 8B/10B encoding, channel bonding, and programmable pre-emphasis.
It contains 12 18×18-bit multipliers, 12 Block SelectRAM+ modules (each 18 Kb), and 216 Kb of distributed RAM. The FG456 package supports 156 user I/Os across 22 single-ended and 10 differential I/O standards, with programmable drive strength (2–24 mA) and on-chip termination for LVDS, SSTL, and HSTL.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the RocketIO transceivers in XC2VP2-5FG456C?
The XC2VP2-5FG456C supports RocketIO transceivers rated up to 2.5 Gb/s in wire-bond packages like FG456. This is confirmed in DS083 Table 4 for -5 speed grade devices. The transceivers comply with Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and XAUI standards. XC2VP2-5FG456C does not include RocketIO X cores, which are limited to XC2VPX20/XC2VPX70 variants.
Does XC2VP2-5FG456C include an embedded PowerPC processor?
No, XC2VP2-5FG456C contains zero PowerPC 405 processor blocks. Per Table 1 in DS083, only XC2VP4 and higher Virtex-II Pro devices integrate one or two PowerPC cores. XC2VP2-5FG456C is optimized for pure logic and serial I/O applications without embedded software execution requirements.
What I/O standards are supported by XC2VP2-5FG456C?
XC2VP2-5FG456C supports 22 single-ended standards (including LVCMOS 1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V, PCI-X, GTL) and 10 differential standards (LVDS, BLVDS, ULVDS, LVPECL, HSTL, SSTL). On-chip DCI enables automatic impedance matching, and dedicated termination is provided for LVDS and other differential protocols.
How many Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) does XC2VP2-5FG456C have?
XC2VP2-5FG456C integrates 4 Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), as specified in Table 1 of DS083. Each DCM provides fully digital clock deskewing, frequency synthesis (integer/fractional multiplication/division), and coarse/fine phase shifting - critical for synchronizing multi-domain designs in telecom and imaging systems using XC2VP2-5FG456C.
Is XC2VP2-5FG456C recommended for new designs?
No - XC2VP2-5FG456C is marked "Product Not Recommended For New Designs" in the official DS083 datasheet (v5.0, June 2011). It remains available for legacy support, repair, and obsolescence management, but Xilinx recommends Virtex-4, Virtex-5, or newer families for new development due to process, density, and feature improvements.
