AMD XC5VLX110-2FF676C

Overview

XC5VLX110-2FF676C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 110,592 logic cells, 640 DSP48E slices, 4.9 Mb of block RAM, and a -2 speed grade with guaranteed 650 MHz I/O performance. It is housed in a 676-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FF676) package and used in high-performance digital signal processing and reconfigurable computing systems.

For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX110-2FF676C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include logic density, DSP slice count, embedded memory capacity, I/O voltage support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), and thermal design power (TDP) for cooling validation.

Technical Context

The XC5VLX110-2FF676C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated DSP48E slices for arithmetic-intensive tasks, and integrated 36-Kb block RAMs with true dual-port capability. It supports SelectIO™ technology with programmable I/O standards including LVCMOS, SSTL, HSTL, and differential signaling (LVDS, RSDS).

It includes built-in clock management resources: six Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) and two Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs), enabling precise clock synthesis, phase alignment, and frequency multiplication up to 1.2 GHz. Configuration is performed via Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, or JTAG interfaces using external PROM or processor-controlled loading.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating junction temperature for XC5VLX110-2FF676C?

The XC5VLX110-2FF676C has a maximum allowable junction temperature of 100 °C under continuous operation. Thermal design must ensure this limit is not exceeded using appropriate heatsinking, airflow, and PCB copper pour. The device includes on-die temperature sensors accessible via JTAG for real-time monitoring during system validation and field operation of XC5VLX110-2FF676C.

Does XC5VLX110-2FF676C support partial reconfiguration?

Yes, XC5VLX110-2FF676C supports partial reconfiguration through Xilinx ISE Design Suite tools and associated bitstream generation flow. This allows runtime modification of specific logic regions without resetting the entire device or disrupting active functions - a critical capability for mission-critical XC5VLX110-2FF676C deployments in defense and telecom infrastructure.

What configuration modes are supported by XC5VLX110-2FF676C?

XC5VLX110-2FF676C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial modes. Master SelectMAP uses an internal oscillator to drive external PROM; Slave SelectMAP enables processor-controlled loading; JTAG is used for debugging and programming; Serial mode loads configuration via single-bit stream. All modes are fully documented in the XC5VLX110-2FF676C configuration user guide.

Is XC5VLX110-2FF676C RoHS compliant?

Yes, XC5VLX110-2FF676C is RoHS-6 compliant (lead-free, mercury-free, cadmium-free, hexavalent chromium-free, PBB-free, PBDE-free) and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) requirements. The FF676 package uses lead-free solder spheres and complies with IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-033 for handling and reflow profile compliance of XC5VLX110-2FF676C.

Can XC5VLX110-2FF676C interface directly with DDR2-800 memory?

No, XC5VLX110-2FF676C supports DDR2-533 (266 MHz clock) with its integrated memory controller; DDR2-800 requires 400 MHz clock and exceeds the controller's rated specification. Attempting to run beyond DDR2-533 may result in timing violations or data corruption. System designs must adhere to the validated DDR2-533 interface parameters defined in the XC5VLX110-2FF676C data sheet.
