Product details
Overview
XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 100,496 logic cells, 6.4 Gb/s serial transceiver capability, and integrated PowerPC 440 hard processor cores. It supports high-speed serial I/O, DSP slices, and Block RAM for reconfigurable computing in radar signal processing, high-end test equipment, and optical transport systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include transceiver lane count (16 lanes), speed grade (-1), thermal performance (commercial temperature range), and package footprint (FF1738 flip-chip BGA).
Technical Context
The XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), 64-bit embedded PowerPC 440 cores running at up to 550 MHz, and RocketIO GTP transceivers supporting protocols including PCIe Gen1, SATA, and Serial RapidIO. It integrates 12.8 Mb of block RAM and 240 DSP48E slices for high-throughput arithmetic.
Configuration occurs via SelectMAP, JTAG, or serial PROM interfaces. The device uses 65 nm copper CMOS process technology and supports partial reconfiguration, enabling dynamic function swapping without full system reset.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C?
The XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C features RocketIO GTP transceivers rated for 1.0 to 6.4 Gb/s per lane. This enables compliance with PCIe Gen1, SATA II, and Serial RapidIO 1.2 standards. Actual achievable rate depends on board layout, reference clock stability, and signal integrity margins-verified in lab testing at 6.4 Gb/s with PRBS31 pattern and <1e-12 BER.
Does XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C include embedded processor cores?
Yes, XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C integrates two hardened PowerPC 440 processor cores, each with 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data cache, running at up to 550 MHz. These cores support full Linux BSPs and are accessible via Xilinx EDK tools. They operate independently of the FPGA fabric, enabling concurrent software and hardware execution within XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C.
What configuration modes does XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C support?
XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) PROM configuration. Configuration bitstream can be loaded from external flash, microcontroller, or boundary-scan chain. The device also supports fallback configuration and multi-boot from dual SPI flash devices-key capabilities for field-upgradable systems using XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C.
Is XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C pin-compatible with other Virtex-5 FPGAs in FF1738 package?
No, XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C is not fully pin-compatible with other Virtex-5 devices in the FF1738 package. While mechanical footprint matches, power delivery requirements, transceiver pin assignments, and I/O bank voltage constraints differ significantly between FX, LX, and SX subfamilies. Migration requires schematic and PCB review-especially for VCCINT, MGTREFCLK, and configuration pins unique to XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C.
What is the commercial temperature range rating for XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C?
XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +85°C ambient. This specification applies to the junction temperature under defined airflow and thermal pad mounting conditions. Thermal design must ensure case temperature remains within limits during sustained 100% fabric utilization-validated using Xilinx XPE power estimator and thermal models for XC5VFX100T-1FF1738C.
