Overview
XC2VP50-7FF1152C from Xilinx is a high-density Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA integrating dual PowerPC 405 RISC processor blocks, up to 16 RocketIO multi-gigabit transceivers (operating at 3.125 Gb/s), 53,136 logic cells, and 852 user I/Os in an FF1152 flip-chip BGA package. It delivers embedded processing, high-speed serial connectivity, and programmable logic for telecom backplane interfaces, network line cards, and video processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP50-7FF1152C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include confirmed dual-processor support, verified 3.125 Gb/s RocketIO transceiver performance in FF1152 packaging, DCM-based clock management with ±150 ps phase shift resolution, and compatibility with PCI-X, LVDS, and DDR I/O standards.
Technical Context
The XC2VP50-7FF1152C implements two independent PowerPC 405 cores running at up to 400 MHz (–7 speed grade), each with 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, MMU, and OCM interface. Its 16 RocketIO transceivers support full-duplex operation at 3.125 Gb/s with 8B/10B encoding, channel bonding, and on-chip 50 Ω termination.
FPGA fabric includes 23,616 CLB slices, 232 dedicated 18×18 multipliers, 4,176 Kb block SelectRAM+ (18 Kb × 232), and twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) enabling precise deskew, multiplication/division, and fine-grained phase shifting (1/256 period increments). Routing uses Active Interconnect Technology with hierarchical segmented resources and predictable delay independent of fanout.

FAQ
What is the maximum RocketIO transceiver speed supported by XC2VP50-7FF1152C?
The XC2VP50-7FF1152C supports RocketIO transceivers operating at up to 3.125 Gb/s in full-duplex mode. This speed is guaranteed for the –7 speed grade under commercial temperature conditions (0°C to 85°C) and applies to all 16 transceivers in the FF1152 package configuration. The device does not support RocketIO X (6.25 Gb/s) functionality.
Does XC2VP50-7FF1152C include embedded processor cores?
Yes, XC2VP50-7FF1152C integrates two IBM PowerPC 405 RISC processor blocks, each with 16 KB instruction cache, 16 KB data cache, MMU, and OCM interface. These cores operate at up to 400 MHz in the –7 speed grade and are fully compliant with the PowerPC User Instruction Set Architecture (UISA).
What I/O standards are supported by XC2VP50-7FF1152C?
XC2VP50-7FF1152C supports 22 single-ended standards-including LVCMOS (1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V), LVTTL, PCI, PCI-X, HSTL, and SSTL-and 10 differential standards such as LVDS, BLVDS, ULVDS, LVPECL, and HyperTransport. Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) provides automatic on-die termination for single-ended I/Os.
Is XC2VP50-7FF1152C pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in FF1152 packaging?
No, XC2VP50-7FF1152C is not fully pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in the FF1152 package. While the physical footprint and power/ground pin locations are consistent, I/O bank assignments, transceiver pinouts, and configuration pin mappings differ across device densities and transceiver counts-even within the same package.
What clock management resources are available in XC2VP50-7FF1152C?
XC2VP50-7FF1152C includes twelve Digital Clock Manager (DCM) modules and sixteen global clock multiplexer buffers. Each DCM provides deskew, frequency synthesis (integer/fractional multiplication/division), and fine-grained phase shifting (1/256 period resolution), enabling precise timing control across multiple synchronous domains within the XC2VP50-7FF1152C design.
