AMD XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I

Overview

XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 110,592 logic cells, 6.48 Gb/s transceiver capability, and -2 speed grade in a 1136-pin Flip-Chip Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FFG1136) package. It serves as a high-performance programmable logic fabric for reconfigurable digital signal processing in radar baseband subsystems.

For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include I/O voltage support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), embedded Block RAM capacity (5,529,600 bits), and compliance with PCIe Gen1 x8 endpoint timing requirements.

Technical Context

The XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with six distinct configurable logic blocks: CLB, DSP48E, BRAM, Clock Management Tile (CMT), SelectIO, and RocketIO GTP transceivers. It supports multi-voltage I/O banks with independent termination and programmable slew rate per bank.

This device integrates 24 RocketIO GTP transceivers operating up to 3.75 Gb/s, each with dedicated clock correction and elastic buffer logic. The CMT contains dual DCMs and one PLL for low-jitter clock synthesis and phase alignment across multiple clock domains.

The XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I integrates 24 RocketIO GTP transceivers, each supporting data rates from 600 Mb/s up to 3.75 Gb/s. This specification is validated across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and applies to both transmitter and receiver paths under standard power supply conditions.

Does XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I support partial reconfiguration?

Yes, XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I supports partial reconfiguration through Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.7 and later versions. This capability allows dynamic replacement of specific logic modules without resetting the entire device, enabling runtime adaptation in radar waveform generators and protocol gateways.

What I/O standards are supported by XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I?

XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I supports LVDS, SSTL-18/25, HSTL-I/II, PCI-X 1.0, and RSDS across its 640 user I/O pins. Each of the 16 I/O banks can be independently configured for voltage levels between 1.2 V and 3.3 V, with programmable drive strength and on-die termination.

Is XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I qualified for industrial temperature operation?

Yes, XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +100°C. This qualification is confirmed in the Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA Data Sheet (DS100, v5.4) and applies to all speed grades including the -2 grade used in this device.

What configuration modes does XC5VLX1136I support?

XC5VLX110T-2FF1136I supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, Serial, and JTAG configuration modes. Configuration bitstream loading is performed via dedicated configuration pins (CCLK, DIN, INIT_B, PROGRAM_B), with fallback support through external SPI flash or microcontroller-controlled reconfiguration.
