Product details
Overview
XC5VLX110-1FF1153C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 110,592 logic cells, 6.48 Mb of block RAM, 240 DSP48E slices, and operates at -1 speed grade (1.0 ns CLB delay). It is used in high-performance digital signal processing and reconfigurable computing systems requiring deterministic timing and multi-gigabit serial I/O.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX110-1FF1153C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count (640 user I/Os), differential signaling support (LVDS, RSDS, BLVDS), embedded PCIe Gen1 endpoint capability, and thermal management requirements for FF1153 package.
Technical Context
The XC5VLX110-1FF1153C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated DSP slices, and integrated memory controllers. It supports SelectIO standards including SSTL, HSTL, LVCMOS, and differential protocols up to 1 Gbps per lane.
This device integrates 24 RocketIO GTP transceivers (3.125 Gbps), supports PCI Express x4 endpoint configuration, and includes hard IP for tri-mode Ethernet MACs and DDR2/DDR3 memory interfaces - all operating under -1 speed grade timing constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the XC5VLX110-1FF1153C?
The XC5VLX110-1FF1153C is rated at speed grade -1, specifying a 1.0 ns CLB propagation delay. Achievable system clock frequencies depend on design topology, but synchronous paths can reach 500 MHz in optimized implementations using regional clocking and pipelining. The XC5VLX110-1FF1153C does not guarantee 500 MHz across all logic paths without timing closure analysis.
Does the XC5VLX110-1FF1153C support DDR3 memory interfaces?
No, the XC5VLX110-1FF1153C supports DDR2 memory interfaces via its hard Memory Controller Block (MCB), but lacks native DDR3 support. DDR3 compatibility requires external PHY or migration to Virtex-6 or later families. The XC5VLX110-1FF1153C's MCB is validated only for DDR2-800 operation with specific Xilinx reference designs.
How many RocketIO GTP transceivers does the XC5VLX110-1FF1153C include?
The XC5VLX110-1FF1153C integrates 24 RocketIO GTP transceivers, each capable of 3.125 Gbps operation. These support protocols including CPRI, Serial RapidIO, and PCIe Gen1. All 24 transceivers are accessible in the FF1153 package; no transceivers are disabled or reserved in this speed grade and configuration.
Is the XC5VLX110-1FF1153C RoHS compliant?
Yes, the XC5VLX110-1FF1153C is manufactured with Pb-free/CuNiAu finish and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The FF1153 package uses halogen-free molding compound and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) requirements.
Can the XC5VLX110-1FF1153C be configured via JTAG only?
The XC5VLX110-1FF1153C supports JTAG configuration but also allows Master SPI, Slave SelectMAP, and boundary-scan modes. JTAG is primarily used for debugging and programming during development; production systems commonly use Master SPI with external flash. All configuration modes are fully supported on the XC5VLX110-1FF1153C without hardware modification.
