AMD XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C

Overview

XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 110,592 logic cells, 6.48 Gb/s serial transceiver capability, and 1136-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FFG) packaging. It integrates 240 DSP48E slices, 4.5 Mb of block RAM, and supports PCIe Gen1 x8 endpoint functionality in high-performance embedded vision and radar signal processing systems.

For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver line rate, I/O bank voltage support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), configuration interface (SelectMAP or JTAG), and thermal performance in convection-cooled industrial enclosures.

Technical Context

The XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with six distinct I/O bank groups, each supporting independent VCCO and VREF settings. Its RocketIO GTP transceivers operate at 1.25–3.75 Gb/s with built-in 8B/10B encoding and elastic buffers for jitter tolerance.

Configuration occurs via Master SelectMAP mode using a 32-bit parallel interface or through JTAG boundary-scan, with bitstream encryption supported via AES-256 keys. The device uses 65 nm copper CMOS process technology and requires dual-supply operation: 1.0 V core (VCCINT), 2.5 V auxiliary (VCCAUX), and bank-specific I/O voltages.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C core logic?

The XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C achieves a typical maximum system clock frequency of 550 MHz for register-to-register paths under worst-case commercial conditions. This value depends on design placement, routing, and timing constraints. The device's DCMs and PLLs support output frequencies up to 1.2 GHz for dedicated clock networks, but actual achievable logic frequency is design-dependent and verified during static timing analysis using Xilinx ISE 14.7 tools.

Does the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C support JTAG boundary-scan for PCB testing?

Yes, the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C fully complies with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) standard and includes dedicated TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK, and TRST pins. It supports INTEST, SAMPLE/PRELOAD, and BYPASS instructions for board-level interconnect testing. Boundary-scan operation is functional across all supported I/O standards and does not require configuration completion-enabling pre-configuration test access.

What configuration modes are supported by the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C?

The XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C supports four primary configuration modes: Master SelectMAP (x8/x16/x32 parallel), Slave SelectMAP, JTAG, and Serial. Mode selection is controlled by M0–M2 pins at power-up. Master SelectMAP enables autonomous boot from external flash memory, while JTAG is used for programming, debugging, and partial reconfiguration. All modes support AES-256 encrypted bitstreams.

Can the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C interface directly with DDR2 SDRAM?

Yes, the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C supports DDR2 SDRAM interfaces up to 400 MHz data rate (200 MHz clock) using its dedicated I/O banks with programmable drive strength, slew rate, and input delay calibration. Xilinx UCF constraints and MIG v3.7 IP core provide verified timing closure for x16/x32 configurations. External termination resistors are required for impedance matching on DQ/DQS lines.

Is the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C qualified for extended temperature operation?

No, the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C is rated only for commercial temperature range (0 °C to +85 °C). For extended temperature applications (–40 °C to +100 °C), AMD offers the XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136I variant with identical pinout and functionality but qualified to Industrial temperature grade. Thermal derating and voltage margining are required for operation outside the specified commercial range.
