Product details
Overview
XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 155,648 logic cells, 12.5 Mb of block RAM, and 640 DSP48E slices. It supports PCIe Gen1 x8, DDR2-533 memory interfaces, and operates at -1 speed grade with 1.0V core voltage. Used in high-performance digital signal processing and reconfigurable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count (640 user I/Os), transceiver capability (no integrated multi-gigabit transceivers), thermal design power (19.2 W typical), and FF1136 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C implements a column-based architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated DSP slices, and hierarchical clock routing. It supports SelectIO standards including LVCMOS, LVDS, and SSTL, with programmable input/output delays and on-chip termination.
This device belongs to the Virtex-5 LX family optimized for logic density and deterministic timing. It lacks built-in high-speed serial transceivers-unlike the SX or FX variants-and targets applications requiring high gate count without serial protocol acceleration.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C?
The XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C is rated at speed grade -1, guaranteeing reliable operation up to 500 MHz for internal logic and 667 MHz for I/O toggle rates. Actual achievable frequency depends on design placement, routing, and resource utilization. Timing analysis must be performed using Xilinx ISE 14.7 or Vivado 2019.2 legacy support tools.
Does the XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C include built-in high-speed transceivers?
No, the XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C does not integrate multi-gigabit transceivers. It belongs to the LX (Logic-optimized) subfamily of Virtex-5 FPGAs. Transceiver capability is exclusive to SX (Signal-processing) and FX (Full-featured) variants. Designs requiring serial protocols must use external PHYs or select an FX-series part like XC5VFX70T.
What configuration modes does the XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C support?
The XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C supports Master Serial, Slave Serial, Slave Parallel, and JTAG configuration modes. Configuration is initiated via PROGRAM_B and controlled by CCLK and DIN. Bitstream storage typically uses external SPI PROM (e.g., XCFxxP series) or microprocessor-controlled loading through the ICAP interface.
Is the XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C is manufactured in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free process. The FF1136 package uses matte tin finish on solder balls and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3. Full compliance documentation-including substance declarations and test reports-is available under AMD's Product Change Notification (PCN) #XIL-2011-01.
What development tools are required for the XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C?
Xilinx ISE Design Suite 14.7 is the last officially supported toolchain for the XC5VLX155T-1FF1136C. It provides synthesis, implementation, simulation, and programming support. While Vivado can import some netlists, full place-and-route and timing closure require ISE. AMD maintains legacy tool archives and device support files for ongoing maintenance projects.
