Product details
Overview
XC2VP4-6FF672I from Xilinx is a Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA integrating one PowerPC 405 RISC processor core, four RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (up to 3.125 Gb/s), 6,768 logic cells, and 18 × 18-bit dedicated multipliers. It implements SRAM-based in-system reconfiguration, digital clock management (DCM), and SelectIO-Ultra I/O with digitally controlled impedance (DCI), targeting high-reliability telecom and networking interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP4-6FF672I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its -6 speed grade (350 MHz PowerPC, 3.125 Gb/s transceivers), FF672 flip-chip BGA package (672 pins, 1.0 mm pitch), industrial temperature rating (–40°C to +100°C), and embedded processor + SERDES co-integration for deterministic real-time protocol processing.
Technical Context
The XC2VP4-6FF672I implements a hybrid architecture combining programmable logic fabric with hard IP blocks: a single IBM PowerPC 405 core (32-bit Harvard, 16 KB instruction/data caches, MMU) tightly coupled to Block SelectRAM+ memory via OCM interface, and four independent RocketIO transceivers supporting 600 Mb/s–3.125 Gb/s full-duplex operation with 8B/10B encoding, channel bonding, and on-chip 50 Ω termination.
Its clocking subsystem includes up to twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) enabling precise deskew, integer/fractional frequency synthesis, and ±180° phase shifting; routing uses Active Interconnect Technology with hierarchical segmented resources, while I/O supports 22 single-ended and 10 differential standards-including LVDS at 840 Mb/s-with programmable drive strength (2–24 mA) and DCI calibration.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the PowerPC 405 core in XC2VP4-6FF672I?
The XC2VP4-6FF672I PowerPC 405 core operates at up to 350 MHz under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +100°C) and -6 speed grade. This frequency is guaranteed by Xilinx's DC and switching characteristics testing and applies when using the CPMC405CLOCK macro with proper decoupling and thermal management. The XC2VP4-6FF672I datasheet specifies this as the maximum sustained clock rate for deterministic real-time execution.
Does XC2VP4-6FF672I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC2VP4-6FF672I supports partial reconfiguration through its SRAM-based configuration architecture and SelectMAP interface. This allows dynamic modification of specific logic regions without resetting the entire device or interrupting PowerPC operation. Implementation requires Xilinx ISE toolchain support and careful floorplanning; the XC2VP4-6FF672I functional description confirms compatibility with IEEE 1532 boundary-scan and configuration modes enabling selective bitstream loading.
What transceiver protocols are supported by the RocketIO blocks in XC2VP4-6FF672I?
The XC2VP4-6FF672I RocketIO transceivers support Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, 10G Fibre Channel, XAUI, and InfiniBand protocols at data rates from 600 Mb/s to 3.125 Gb/s. These are enabled via built-in 8B/10B encoding, channel bonding, and programmable pre-emphasis. The XC2VP4-6FF672I does not include RocketIO X cores, so 64B/66B encoding and >3.125 Gb/s operation are not supported-those features require XC2VPX-series devices.
Is XC2VP4-6FF672I pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in FF672 packaging?
No, XC2VP4-6FF672I is not pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in FF672 packages. While the FF672 mechanical footprint is shared, pin functions-including RocketIO transceiver locations, PowerPC bus signals, and I/O bank assignments-are device-specific and vary across the Virtex-II Pro family. The XC2VP4-6FF672I pinout table in DS083 explicitly defines its unique ball mapping, and migration to larger devices like XC2VP7 requires PCB redesign.
What I/O standards can be used with the SelectIO-Ultra blocks in XC2VP4-6FF672I?
XC2VP4-6FF672I SelectIO-Ultra blocks support 22 single-ended standards-including LVTTL, LVCMOS (1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V), PCI, PCI-X, HSTL, and SSTL-and 10 differential standards such as LVDS, BLVDS, ULVDS, LDT, and LVPECL. Each I/O bank is independently configurable for voltage and standard, and Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) provides automatic on-die termination for compatible single-ended interfaces, as confirmed in the XC2VP4-6FF672I introduction and overview documentation.
