Product details
Overview
XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a Virtex-5 LXT family FPGA featuring 155,648 logic cells, 12.8 Gb/s total serial I/O bandwidth via 24 RocketIO GTP transceivers, and embedded Block RAM totaling 7.7 Mbits. It is used in high-performance reconfigurable computing systems requiring multi-gigabit serial connectivity and deterministic timing closure.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include transceiver count and data rate, logic cell density, I/O voltage support (1.2 V to 3.3 V), and thermal performance in FFG1136 packaging.
Technical Context
The XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with configurable logic blocks (CLBs), dedicated DSP48E slices (192 units), and integrated PCI Express® Endpoint logic. Its GTP transceivers operate at 100 Mbps to 3.75 Gbps per lane with built-in 8B/10B encoding and elastic buffers.
It supports SelectIO™ technology with programmable drive strength, slew rate, and on-die termination across 560 user I/Os. The device uses 65 nm copper process technology and requires dual-supply operation: 1.0 V core, 2.5 V auxiliary, and selectable I/O voltages.

Yes, the XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C integrates a hard PCI Express Endpoint block compliant with PCIe Base Specification v1.1. It supports x1, x2, and x4 link widths at 2.5 Gbps per lane. This dedicated logic eliminates the need for soft-core implementations, reducing resource usage and ensuring timing predictability - a key capability confirmed in the Virtex-5 LXT User Guide (UG192).
What I/O standards are supported by the XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C?
The XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C supports LVDS, Mini-LVDS, RSDS, BLVDS, SSTL, HSTL, and PCI-X through its SelectIO technology. Each of its 560 user I/Os can be independently configured per bank for voltage (1.2 V to 3.3 V), drive strength, and termination. This flexibility is documented in the Virtex-5 Packaging and Pinout Product Specification (DS204).
Is the XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C still in active production?
The XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C is in long-term availability status per AMD's Virtex-5 product discontinuance notice. Aetrix Electronics maintains inventory and offers extended lifecycle support, including obsolescence monitoring and last-time-buy coordination. The XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C remains qualified for industrial and defense applications with no announced end-of-life date.
What configuration mode does the XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C support?
The XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C supports Master SelectMAP, Slave SelectMAP, and JTAG configuration modes. Configuration is performed via dedicated pins (e.g., CCLK, DIN, PROG_B) and supports both synchronous and asynchronous loading. Bitstream security features include readback protection and AES encryption key storage, as specified in the Virtex-5 Configuration User Guide (UG191). The XC5VLX155T-1FFG1136C requires external non-volatile storage for master-mode operation.
