AMD XC5VLX110-1FF1153I

Overview

XC5VLX110-1FF1153I 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 (1.35 V core, industrial temperature range). 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 XC5VLX110-1FF1153I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O bank voltage support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), differential signaling compliance (LVDS, RSDS, BLVDS), and configuration interface options (Master SelectMAP, Slave Serial, JTAG).

Technical Context

The XC5VLX110-1FF1153I implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated DSP48E slices for arithmetic-intensive tasks, and integrated RocketIO GTP transceivers supporting up to 3.75 Gb/s per lane. It uses 65 nm copper process technology and includes built-in clock management tiles (CMTs) with DCMs and PLLs.

Configuration is performed via internal Spartan-3A or external PROM, with support for dual-boot and fallback modes. The device supports partial reconfiguration and includes system monitoring circuitry for on-chip temperature and supply voltage measurement.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

XC5VLX110-1FF1153I is housed in a 1153-pin Fine-Pitch Flip-Chip Ball Grid Array (FFG1153) package with 35 mm × 35 mm body size, 1.0 mm ball pitch, and Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) solder balls. Thermal performance is enhanced by an exposed thermal pad on the underside.

Supply support for XC5VLX110-1FF1153I includes scheduled delivery planning, volume procurement assistance, BOM continuity management, traceable sourcing, and lifecycle availability coordination for OEM customers, industrial embedded developers, connected-device designers, and electronics production programs.

Manufacturer

AMD acquired Xilinx in 2022 and now develops adaptive computing platforms including FPGAs, ACAPs, and software tools for hardware-accelerated computing.

The Virtex-5 family was designed for high-performance, logic- and DSP-intensive applications in aerospace, defense, and medical imaging where reliability, I/O flexibility, and deterministic timing are critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum supported transceiver data rate for XC5VLX110-1FF1153I?

The XC5VLX110-1FF1153I integrates RocketIO GTP transceivers rated for 1.25–3.75 Gb/s per lane. This enables compliance with PCIe 1.0 (2.5 Gb/s), SATA II (3.0 Gb/s), and Serial RapidIO (3.125 Gb/s). Actual achievable rate depends on PCB layout quality, reference clock stability, and signal integrity tuning-verified in Xilinx UG192.

Does XC5VLX110-1FF1153I support partial reconfiguration?

Yes, XC5VLX110-1FF1153I supports partial reconfiguration through its FPGA fabric and associated toolflow in Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.7. This allows dynamic replacement of logic modules while the rest of the design remains operational-a capability validated in Xilinx XAPP1187 application note.

What configuration modes are available for XC5VLX110-1FF1153I?

XC5VLX110-1FF1153I supports Master SelectMAP, Slave Serial, and JTAG configuration modes. Master SelectMAP enables boot from external parallel PROM; Slave Serial allows loading from microcontroller; JTAG is used for programming and boundary-scan testing. All modes are documented in Xilinx DS100.

Is XC5VLX110-1FF1153I qualified for industrial temperature operation?

Yes, the "I" suffix in XC5VLX110-1FF1153I denotes industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C junction temperature). This qualification is confirmed in Xilinx Product Specification DS100 and applies to the full FF1153 package variant.

What power supplies are required for XC5VLX110-1FF1153I?

XC5VLX110-1FF1153I requires three primary supplies: VCCINT = 1.0 V ±3% for core logic, VCCAUX = 2.5 V for configuration and clocking, and VCCO = 1.2–3.3 V (per I/O bank) for interface signaling. Decoupling and sequencing requirements are specified in Xilinx UG197.
