Product details
Overview
XC2VP4-6FG456I from Xilinx is a Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA integrating one embedded PowerPC 405 RISC processor core, four RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (2.5 Gb/s max), 6,768 logic cells, twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs), and 348 user I/Os in a 456-pin fine-pitch wire-bond BGA package. It targets high-reliability telecom backplane interfaces, industrial protocol gateways, and reconfigurable DSP subsystems requiring deterministic real-time processing and serial interconnect.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP4-6FG456I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include confirmed -6 speed grade timing (350 MHz PowerPC, 2.5 Gb/s RocketIO), FG456 package I/O count (248 usable + 100 dedicated), DCI-enabled single-ended I/O support (LVCMOS 1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V), and dual-port Block SelectRAM+ memory configuration (up to 512 × 36-bit).
Technical Context
The XC2VP4-6FG456I implements a hardened PowerPC 405 core with 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, MMU, and OCM interface - all operating at up to 350 MHz under -6 speed grade. Its four RocketIO transceivers provide full-duplex SERDES with monolithic CDR, 8B/10B encoding, and programmable pre-emphasis, supporting Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and XAUI protocols.
Internally, it uses 0.13 µm nine-layer copper process technology with 1.5 V core (VCCINT), 2.5 V auxiliary (VCCAUX), and configurable I/O supply (VCCO). The architecture includes 28 × 18 Kb Block SelectRAM+ modules, 28 dedicated 18×18 multipliers, and twelve DCMs enabling precise clock deskew, multiplication/division, and ±180° phase shifting.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed operating frequency of the PowerPC 405 core in XC2VP4-6FG456I?
The XC2VP4-6FG456I is rated for a maximum PowerPC 405 core frequency of 350 MHz under the -6 speed grade at industrial temperature range (–40°C to +100°C). This value is validated in DS083 (v5.0) Table 4 and applies only when VCCINT = 1.5 V ±3% and proper thermal management is implemented. The XC2VP4-6FG456I does not support the 400 MHz operation available in the -7 grade variant.
Does XC2VP4-6FG456I support 8B/10B encoding in its RocketIO transceivers?
Yes, XC2VP4-6FG456I includes four RocketIO transceivers that natively support 8B/10B encoding and decoding per channel, as confirmed in DS083 Module 2. This capability enables direct compliance with Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and XAUI physical layers without external encoding logic. The XC2VP4-6FG456I does not support 64B/66B encoding, which is exclusive to Virtex-II Pro X devices like XC2VPX20.
Can XC2VP4-6FG456I be configured via JTAG boundary scan?
Yes, XC2VP4-6FG456I fully supports IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan configuration through its TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO pins. The device implements BYPASS, PRELOAD, SAMPLE, IDCODE, EXTEST, INTEST, and HIGHZ instructions, allowing in-system programming, interconnect testing, and debug access without requiring dedicated configuration pins. This capability is documented in DS083 Module 1 Section "Boundary Scan" and applies identically to XC2VP4-6FG456I.
What I/O standards are supported by XC2VP4-6FG456I with on-chip termination?
XC2VP4-6FG456I supports on-chip Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) termination for LVCMOS 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V single-ended standards, as specified in DS083 Module 1. It also provides on-chip 50 Ω differential termination for LVDS, ULVDS, and LDT. DCI eliminates external termination resistors and adapts dynamically to voltage and temperature variations - a feature confirmed for XC2VP4-6FG456I in the SelectIO-Ultra section.
Is XC2VP4-6FG456I recommended for new designs?
No, XC2VP4-6FG456I is marked "Product Not Recommended For New Designs" per DS083 (v5.0) cover page and Module 1. Xilinx discontinued active development and marketing of the Virtex-II Pro family after 2011. While Aetrix Electronics maintains inventory for legacy system support and repair, new designs should consider modern alternatives such as Kintex-7 or Versal ACAP families for improved performance, power efficiency, and toolchain support.
