Product details
Overview
XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C from AMD (formerly Xilinx) is a high-performance Virtex-5 FPGA featuring 220,000 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. It is used in high-bandwidth digital signal processing systems such as radar beamforming and multi-gigabit transceiver-based line cards.
For engineers reviewing the XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include I/O count (720 user I/Os), transceiver capability (up to 24 GTPs at 3.75 Gb/s), thermal performance in FFG1738 package, and support for partial reconfiguration in real-time systems.
Technical Context
The XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C implements a hierarchical FPGA architecture with six distinct logic tile types: CLB, Memory, DSP, Clock, I/O, and GT. Its 24 GTP serial transceivers are built on a dedicated analog PHY and support protocols including SATA, Serial RapidIO, and CPRI.
It integrates dual-register 6-input LUTs, distributed RAM, shift registers, and hard-wired clock management tiles with DCMs and PLLs. Configuration occurs via Master SelectMAP or JTAG, supporting bitstream encryption and fallback modes.

Yes, XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C fully supports IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan for board-level test and debug. The TAP controller implements instruction register, bypass, IDCODE, USERCODE, and SAMPLE/PRELOAD instructions. Boundary-scan capability covers all user I/O pins and configuration interface signals, enabling verification of solder joints and interconnect integrity before and after programming the XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C.
Can XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C be configured via SPI flash memory?
Yes, XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C supports master SPI configuration mode using industry-standard quad-SPI flash devices. In this mode, the FPGA initiates read operations from the flash upon power-up, loading configuration data automatically without external controller intervention. This method is widely used for field-deployed XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C systems requiring autonomous startup and secure bitstream storage.
What I/O standards are supported by XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C?
XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C supports LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, Differential SSTL/HSTL, LVDS, BLVDS, RSDS, and TMDS I/O standards across its eight I/O banks. Each bank operates independently at 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V VCCO, enabling direct interfacing with DDR2 memory, video encoders, and legacy parallel buses without level-shifting components in the XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C design.
Is partial reconfiguration supported on XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C?
Yes, XC5VLX220T-1FFG1738C supports dynamic partial reconfiguration (PR) using the ICAP interface and frame-based bitstream manipulation. PR allows runtime replacement of logical modules-such as filter coefficients or protocol stacks-without resetting the entire device.
