Product details
Overview
XC5VFX200T-1FFG1738I from AMD is a Virtex-5 FXT family FPGA featuring 200K logic cells, 12.8 Gb/s serial transceiver bandwidth (via 16 RocketIO GTP transceivers), and integrated PowerPC 440 hard processor cores. It targets high-performance embedded computing, radar signal processing, and high-speed protocol bridging in aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VFX200T-1FFG1738I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver data rate compliance with Serial RapidIO v1.2/PCIe Gen1, embedded processor core count, and -1 speed grade timing closure for deterministic real-time processing.
Technical Context
The XC5VFX200T-1FFG1738I implements a heterogeneous architecture combining 36-bit-wide Block RAM, DSP48E slices operating at up to 550 MHz, and dual PowerPC 440 cores running at 550 MHz with 128 KB on-chip cache. Its transceivers support 1.25–3.75 Gb/s line rates with built-in encoding/decoding and clock correction.
Configuration occurs via Master SelectMAP or JTAG, with bitstream encryption enabled through AES-256 and HMAC-SHA-256. The device supports partial reconfiguration and uses 65 nm copper/SiO₂ process technology with triple-oxide gate dielectrics for mixed-voltage I/O operation.
