AMD XC5VLX110-1FFG676I4165

Overview

XC5VLX110-1FFG676I from Xilinx is a high-performance Virtex-5 LX-series FPGA featuring 17,280 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), 1,120 DSP48E slices, 256 block RAMs (36 Kbit each), 6 Clock Management Tiles (CMTs), and 800 user I/Os in a 676-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FFG) package - deployed in high-speed data acquisition, industrial control, and reconfigurable computing systems.

For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 1.0V core voltage, 65-nm copper process, real 6-input LUT fabric, integrated DCM/PLL clocking, ChipSync source-synchronous I/O support, and absence of transceivers or PowerPC cores - distinguishing it from LXT/SXT/FXT/TXT variants.

Technical Context

The XC5VLX110 implements a column-based ASMBL™ architecture with dedicated hard IP including 36-Kbit true dual-port block RAMs (configurable as two 18-Kbit blocks), 25×18 DSP48E slices with accumulator cascade and bitwise logic modes, and Clock Management Tiles each containing two Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) and one PLL for jitter filtering, phase shifting, and frequency synthesis.

Its SelectIO™ technology supports 1.2–3.3V single-ended and differential I/O standards (LVDS, SSTL, HSTL), on-chip digitally-controlled impedance (DCI), per-bit deskew, and ChipSync™ source-synchronous interfacing - enabling reliable DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers and high-speed parallel bus interfaces without external timing compensation circuitry.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

Manufacturer

Xilinx, now part of AMD, is a pioneer in programmable logic devices and FPGA architecture, delivering high-performance, scalable silicon platforms for adaptive computing since 1984.

The Virtex-5 LX platform was engineered for high-density general-purpose logic applications - emphasizing raw fabric capacity, deterministic timing, and robust parallel I/O rather than serial transceivers or embedded processors.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I core logic?

The XC5VLX110-1FFG676I has a -1 speed grade specifying guaranteed performance up to 550 MHz for internal clock networks and 800 Mb/s for I/O toggling. Actual achievable frequency depends on design placement, routing, and clock topology - but the device's 6 CMTs with DCM/PLL cascading support stable multi-GHz clock domain derivation for critical paths within the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I fabric.

Does the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I include built-in transceivers or a processor core?

No. The XC5VLX110-1FFG676I belongs to the Virtex-5 LX sub-family and contains no RocketIO transceivers or PowerPC 440 microprocessor blocks. It is a pure logic-and-memory FPGA optimized for parallel I/O and high-density fabric - unlike LXT, SXT, TXT, or FXT variants which integrate serial transceivers or embedded CPUs. All high-speed serial functionality must be implemented externally or via parallel interfaces in the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I.

What I/O standards does the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I support, and how is termination handled?

The XC5VLX110-1FFG676I supports 1.2–3.3V single-ended (LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL) and differential (LVDS, BLVDS, RSDS) I/O standards. Termination is managed via Digitally Controlled Impedance (DCI), which provides on-die series or parallel termination calibrated to temperature and voltage - eliminating external resistors and improving signal integrity for DDR2/DDR3, parallel ADCs, and custom backplane interfaces in the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I.

How many block RAMs does the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I contain, and what configurations are supported?

The XC5VLX110-1FFG676I contains 256 × 36-Kbit block RAMs. Each can operate as a true dual-port RAM (up to x36 width per port), a simple dual-port RAM (up to x72), or two independent 18-Kbit blocks. Configurations range from 32K×1 to 512×72, with optional ECC, byte-write enable, and programmable FIFO flags - enabling flexible on-chip buffering, lookup tables, and streaming memory structures in the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I.

Is the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I still in active production, and what configuration methods does it support?

Xilinx discontinued Virtex-5 production in 2018, but XC5VLX110-1FFG676I remains available through authorized distributors and Aetrix Electronics' long-term inventory program with full traceability. It supports slave/master serial, Slave SelectMAP, SPI Flash, BPI NOR Flash, and JTAG (IEEE 1149.1/1532) configuration - including 256-bit AES bitstream encryption and CRC/ECC integrity checking for secure, reliable deployment of the XC5VLX110-1FFG676I.
