FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the PowerPC 440 cores in XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C?
The XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C supports dual PowerPC 440 cores operating at up to 550 MHz under the -2 speed grade. This frequency is guaranteed across industrial temperature range (0°C to 85°C) with proper 1.0 V core supply regulation and thermal management. The XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C datasheet specifies this as the maximum functional clock rate for the embedded processors when configured in high-performance mode.
Does XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C support PCI Express Gen1 x8 endpoint functionality?
Yes, the XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C natively implements a PCI Express Gen1 x8 endpoint with integrated DMA engines and configuration space. It complies with PCI Express Base Specification v1.1 and supports hot-plug detection, power management states (L0–L2), and message-signaled interrupts. The XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C uses its dedicated transceivers and hard IP blocks to achieve full-line-rate operation without external PHY components.
What I/O standards are supported by the HR I/O banks in XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C?
The HR (High-Range) I/O banks of the XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C support LVCMOS 1.2/1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V, LVTTL, SSTL18_I/II, SSTL2_I/II, HSTL_I/III/IV, and differential standards including LVDS, BLVDS, and RSDS. Each bank is independently configurable for voltage and termination. The XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C allows mixing of I/O standards across banks but not within the same bank.
Is XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C qualified for extended temperature operation?
The commercial-grade XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C is specified for 0°C to 85°C ambient operation. However, AMD offers an extended temperature variant-XC5VFX70T-2FF1136I-with qualification across –40°C to 100°C junction temperature, commonly used in avionics and ground vehicle applications. The XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C itself is not rated for extended temperature use per official AMD documentation.
How much Block RAM is available in XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C and what is its organization?
The XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C contains 4,120 kbits of total Block RAM, implemented as 288 × 18-kbit dual-port RAM primitives. These can be configured as true dual-port, simple dual-port, or single-port memory with byte-write enable. The XC5VFX70T-2FF1136C allocates RAM across the device fabric to minimize routing congestion and supports distributed parity for critical storage applications.
