FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC4VSX55-10FF1148C?
The XC4VSX55-10FF1148C supports RocketIO transceivers operating from 622 Mbps up to 3.2 Gbps per lane. This range enables compliance with PCI Express 1.0 and Serial RapidIO Gen1 standards. The -10 speed grade guarantees timing closure at the upper end of this range under specified thermal and voltage conditions. XC4VSX55-10FF1148C does not support protocols requiring >3.2 Gbps per lane, such as PCIe Gen2 or SATA II.
Does XC4VSX55-10FF1148C include embedded processors?
Yes, XC4VSX55-10FF1148C integrates two hard-core PowerPC 405 RISC processors. These are fully functional, production-grade CPUs with instruction and data caches, MMU support, and JTAG debug interfaces. They operate independently of the FPGA fabric and can run standalone firmware or coordinate with logic-based accelerators. XC4VSX55-10FF1148C is one of the few Virtex-4 devices offering this level of embedded processing integration.
What configuration modes does XC4VSX55-10FF1148C support?
XC4VSX55-10FF1148C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration modes. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up. Master SelectMAP allows autonomous loading from external parallel flash, while JTAG is used for debugging and programming during development. XC4VSX55-10FF1148C does not support passive serial or boundary-scan-only configuration without additional controller logic.
What is the I/O standard compatibility of XC4VSX55-10FF1148C?
XC4VSX55-10FF1148C supports LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, and differential standards including LVDS, RSDS, and BLVDS across its 772 user I/Os. Each of the 24 I/O banks is independently powered (VCCO = 1.2–3.3 V), enabling mixed-voltage operation on a single device. XC4VSX55-10FF1148C does not support newer standards like MIPI D-PHY or PCIe Gen3 signaling.
Is XC4VSX55-10FF1148C still in active production?
XC4VSX55-10FF1148C is a mature Virtex-4 device discontinued from new production by AMD (formerly Xilinx). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified, traceable inventory sourced from authorized channels and legacy OEM stock. Full documentation, migration paths, and long-term supply assurance are available for ongoing programs relying on XC4VSX55-10FF1148C.
