Product details
Overview
XC2VP2-6FFG672I from Xilinx is a Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA featuring 3,168 logic cells, 4 RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (up to 3.125 Gb/s), and no embedded PowerPC processor block. It uses a 0.13 µm nine-layer copper process with 1.5 V core supply, packaged in a 672-pin flip-chip fine-pitch BGA (FFG672) for high-density I/O routing and thermal performance in telecom and networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP2-6FFG672I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver count and speed grade (-6), CLB resource density, DCM clock management capability, and compatibility with SelectIO-Ultra I/O standards including LVDS and PCI-X.
Technical Context
The XC2VP2-6FFG672I implements a SRAM-based, in-system reprogrammable architecture with Active Interconnect routing, Digital Clock Manager (DCM) modules for phase-shifting and frequency synthesis, and Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) containing dual 4-input LUTs and flip-flops per slice. Its IOBs support SDR/DDR registers and Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) for on-die termination.
It integrates four RocketIO transceivers compliant with Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and XAUI protocols at up to 3.125 Gb/s full-duplex operation, with monolithic CDR, 8B/10B encoding, and programmable pre-emphasis. The device lacks PowerPC blocks and RocketIO X cores, distinguishing it from higher-tier Virtex-II Pro X variants.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FPGA-based serial interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC2VP4-6FF672C | 6,768 logic cells, 1 PowerPC 405 block, same -6 speed grade and FFG672 package | Supports embedded software-defined control loops; adds cache-coherent processor subsystem | Select when firmware-driven protocol stack execution (e.g., TCP/IP offload) is required alongside transceiver logic |
| XC3S1600E-4FG484C | No transceivers; 1600 logic cells; Spartan-3E architecture; lower cost; 484-pin FG484 package | Limited to parallel or low-speed serial (≤200 Mbps) interfaces; no high-speed SERDES | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-transceiver applications where XC2VP2-6FFG672I's serial bandwidth is unnecessary |
Compared with XC2VP2-6FFG672I, XC2VP4-6FF672C offers embedded processing capability at higher logic density but identical transceiver count and speed, whereas XC3S1600E-4FG484C sacrifices all high-speed serial I/O for reduced cost and power in purely parallel-data applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed transceiver data rate for XC2VP2-6FFG672I?
The XC2VP2-6FFG672I is rated for RocketIO transceiver operation up to 3.125 Gb/s full-duplex per channel under -6 speed grade conditions, as confirmed in DS083 Table 4. This rate supports XAUI, Gigabit Ethernet, and Fibre Channel protocols. Operation above this rate is not guaranteed and requires validation against specific board layout and signal integrity constraints.
Does XC2VP2-6FFG672I include an embedded PowerPC processor?
No, XC2VP2-6FFG672I does not contain a PowerPC 405 processor block. As shown in Table 1 of DS083, only Virtex-II Pro devices starting from XC2VP4 and above integrate PowerPC cores. XC2VP2-6FFG672I provides pure FPGA fabric with transceivers, making it suitable for hardware-centric serial interface applications without embedded software requirements.
Which package type does XC2VP2-6FFG672I use, and what does "FFG672" signify?
XC2VP2-6FFG672I uses the FFG672 package: a 672-ball flip-chip fine-pitch BGA with 1.0 mm pitch. "FF" denotes flip-chip construction (superior thermal and electrical performance vs. wire-bond), "G" indicates lead-free (Pb-free) finish, and "672" specifies ball count. This package supports 204 user I/Os and is documented in DS083 Module 4 pinout tables.
Can XC2VP2-6FFG672I perform partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC2VP2-6FFG672I supports partial reconfiguration as a feature of Virtex-II Pro architecture, enabled via SelectMAP or JTAG configuration interfaces. This allows dynamic logic module swapping without resetting the entire device - critical for adaptive communication systems. Implementation requires Xilinx ISE tools and proper floorplanning to isolate reconfigurable regions within the XC2VP2-6FFG672I fabric.
What I/O standards are supported by XC2VP2-6FFG672I's SelectIO-Ultra blocks?
XC2VP2-6FFG672I supports 22 single-ended standards (including LVCMOS 1.5 V/1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V, PCI, PCI-X, HSTL, SSTL) and 10 differential standards (LVDS, BLVDS, ULVDS, LVPECL, LDT). DCI enables on-die termination for most single-ended standards, while on-chip differential termination is available for LVDS and related variants - all configurable per bank in the XC2VP2-6FFG672I.
