FAQ
What is the maximum transceiver line rate supported by the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C?
The XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C supports a maximum transceiver line rate of 6.4 Gb/s using its RocketIO GTP transceivers. This enables compliance with PCIe Gen2, SATA II, and Serial RapidIO standards. The actual achievable rate depends on PCB layout quality, reference clock stability, and signal integrity margins verified during system-level testing of the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C.
Does the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C include embedded processor cores?
Yes, the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C integrates two hard PowerPC 440 processor cores, each with 32 kB instruction and 32 kB data L1 cache. These cores are silicon-proven and operate independently of the FPGA fabric, allowing concurrent real-time control and programmable logic execution within the same XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C device.
What configuration modes does the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C support?
The XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) configuration modes. Configuration bitstream can be loaded from external flash memory or host processor via parallel or serial interface, with AES-256 encryption available for secure bitstream storage and loading in the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C.
Is partial reconfiguration supported on the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C?
Yes, the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C supports partial reconfiguration, allowing specific logic regions to be updated without resetting the entire device. This capability is implemented through Xilinx ISE toolchain support and requires proper floorplanning and modular HDL design to isolate reconfigurable partitions in the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C.
What is the thermal design power (TDP) of the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C under typical operating conditions?
The XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C has a typical thermal design power of approximately 12.5 W under balanced logic, transceiver, and processor utilization. Actual power consumption varies with design implementation, clock frequency, and I/O activity. Thermal management must account for the FF1738 package's thermal lid and recommended heatsink interface when deploying the XC5VFX100T-2FF1738C in convection-cooled enclosures.
