Product details
Overview
XC2VP70-6FF1704I from Xilinx is a high-density, radiation-tolerant (industrial-grade) Virtex-II Pro platform FPGA integrating two 350 MHz PowerPC 405 RISC processor blocks, 20 RocketIO X multi-gigabit transceivers operating at 4.25 Gb/s, 74,448 logic cells, and 996 user I/Os in a 1704-pin flip-chip fine-pitch BGA package. It targets high-throughput telecom backplane interfaces requiring embedded processing and serial interconnect.
For engineers reviewing the XC2VP70-6FF1704I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include confirmed RocketIO X transceiver count and speed grade (-6), PowerPC dual-core clock stability at 350 MHz, DCM phase-shifting resolution, SelectIO-Ultra I/O voltage support (1.5V–3.3V), and FF1704 package thermal/power delivery constraints.
Technical Context
This device implements a hardened dual-PowerPC 405 subsystem with 16 KB instruction and data caches, MMU, and OCM interface, tightly coupled to FPGA fabric via CoreConnect bus. Its 20 RocketIO X transceivers provide monolithic CDR, programmable pre-emphasis (0–500%), and 64B/66B encoding - all fixed at 4.25 Gb/s per channel per DS083 v5.0 Table 4.
The FPGA fabric includes 328 18×18-bit multipliers, 328 Block SelectRAM+ modules (18 Kb each), twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) with 1/256-cycle phase shift, and SelectIO-Ultra I/O with Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) for on-die termination across 22 single-ended and 10 differential standards.

Pinout & Package
XC2VP70-6FF1704I uses the FF1704 flip-chip fine-pitch BGA package (42.5 mm × 42.5 mm, 1.0 mm pitch), optimized for thermal dissipation and signal integrity in high-speed serial applications. Pin definitions are documented across 302 pages in DS083 Module 4, covering dedicated configuration pins (CCLK, DONE, M0–M2, PROG_B), JTAG TAP (TCK/TDI/TDO/TMS), PowerPC debug signals (JTAGPPC), RocketIO reference clocks (REFCLKP/N), and bank-specific VCCO/VREF supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed RocketIO X transceiver speed for XC2VP70-6FF1704I?
The XC2VP70-6FF1704I is rated for 4.25 Gb/s per RocketIO X transceiver channel, as specified in DS083 v5.0 Table 4 for -6 speed grade flip-chip devices. This fixed rate applies to all 20 transceivers and is not user-programmable to higher speeds. The XC2VP70-6FF1704I does not support the 6.25 Gb/s mode found in -7 grade XC2VPX70 parts.
Does XC2VP70-6FF1704I support partial reconfiguration?
Yes, XC2VP70-6FF1704I supports partial reconfiguration through its SRAM-based configuration architecture and SelectMAP interface. This allows dynamic swapping of functional modules (e.g., changing encryption algorithms or protocol stacks) without resetting the PowerPC cores or disrupting active transceiver links - a capability confirmed in DS083 Module 1 Section "SRAM-Based In-System Configuration".
What I/O standards are supported by XC2VP70-6FF1704I's SelectIO-Ultra banks?
XC2VP70-6FF1704I supports 22 single-ended standards (including LVCMOS 1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V, PCI-X, HSTL, SSTL) and 10 differential standards (LVDS, BLVDS, ULVDS, LVPECL, LDT). Each bank's VCCO voltage determines compatible standards, and Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI) provides automatic on-die termination matching for most single-ended interfaces.
Is XC2VP70-6FF1704I pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in FF1704 packaging?
No - XC2VP70-6FF1704I is not pin-compatible with other Virtex-II Pro devices in FF1704 packages because no other device in the family is offered in FF1704. According to DS083 Table 3, only XC2VP70 and XC2VPX70 are available in FF1704; their pinouts differ due to distinct RocketIO X routing and PowerPC debug signal allocations.
What configuration modes does XC2VP70-6FF1704I support?
XC2VP70-6FF1704I supports five configuration modes: Slave-Serial, Master-Serial, Slave SelectMAP, Master SelectMAP, and IEEE 1532 Boundary-Scan. Master SelectMAP is commonly used for fast parallel loading from flash memory, while Boundary-Scan enables in-system programming and verification without dedicated configuration controllers.
