Product details
Overview
XC2VP4-5FG456I from Xilinx is a Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA integrating one PowerPC 405 RISC processor core, four RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (2.5 Gb/s max per channel), 6,768 logic cells, and 28 18×18-bit multipliers. It features twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), 348 user I/Os in a 456-pin fine-pitch BGA, and targets high-reliability telecom and networking systems requiring embedded processing and serial interconnect.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP4-5FG456I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its -5 speed grade (300 MHz PowerPC, 2.5 Gb/s transceivers), FG456 wire-bond BGA package with 348 user I/Os, DCI-enabled SelectIO-Ultra I/O support, and dual-voltage operation (1.5 V core / 2.5 V auxiliary).
Technical Context
The XC2VP4-5FG456I implements a hardened PowerPC 405 core with 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, MMU, and OCM interface, operating at up to 300 MHz in Industrial grade. Its four RocketIO transceivers support full-duplex SERDES at 600 Mb/s–2.5 Gb/s with 8B/10B encoding, on-chip 50 Ω/75 Ω termination, and per-channel loopback.
Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) contain four slices each with dual 4-input LUTs, flip-flops/latches, carry chains, and horizontal cascading. Block SelectRAM+ provides 18 Kb true dual-port RAM blocks (512 × 36 to 16K × 1), while dedicated 18×18 multipliers enable efficient DSP operations without consuming CLB resources.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the PowerPC 405 core in XC2VP4-5FG456I?
The XC2VP4-5FG456I PowerPC 405 core operates at up to 300 MHz in Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) per DS083 Table 4. This speed grade is fixed for the -5 suffix and validated across voltage and process corners. The XC2VP4-5FG456I does not support 350 MHz operation - that requires the -6 speed grade variant (XC2VP4-6FG456I).
Does XC2VP4-5FG456I support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, XC2VP4-5FG456I fully complies with IEEE 1149.1 and supports boundary-scan testing via dedicated TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. It also implements IEEE 1532 for JTAG-based configuration, enabling in-system programming and verification without requiring external configuration PROMs.
Can XC2VP4-5FG456I be used with 1.8 V I/O standards?
Yes, XC2VP4-5FG456I supports 1.8 V LVCMOS and 1.8 V HSTL Class I/II/III/IV through its SelectIO-Ultra I/O banks. Each bank's VCCO voltage is independently configurable, allowing simultaneous use of 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V interfaces on the same device - critical for legacy system integration.
Is bitstream encryption available on XC2VP4-5FG456I?
Yes, XC2VP4-5FG456I includes an on-chip Triple-DES decryptor supporting one or two encrypted bitstream key sets. This feature secures intellectual property by preventing unauthorized readback or cloning of the configuration, and is enabled during bitstream generation in Xilinx ISE software.
What is the purpose of the Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) feature in XC2VP4-5FG456I?
The DCI feature in XC2VP4-5FG456I provides programmable on-die series or parallel termination for single-ended I/O standards (LVCMOS, SSTL, HSTL), eliminating the need for external resistors. It dynamically matches line impedance to reduce reflections and improve signal integrity - especially valuable in high-speed, point-to-point, or stub-based routing topologies.
